The 5 Biggest Music Deals of 2025 So Far: Concord, Pophouse, Warner & More


The biggest music deals of 2025 so far include those entered into by Warner Music Group, Concord, Pophouse and more (but not Taylor Swift).

What the biggest music industry deals of 2025 lacked in star power, they made up for in sheer size: The top five transactions announced in the first half of the year include three items over $1 billion, with the smallest coming in at $450 million. It has also invested broadly, taking stakes in production companies MACRO and Mucho Mas Media and financing hip-hop biopics for Westbrook Studios, Flavor Unit and Jesse Collins Entertainment. Tempo was originally funded by $650 million in equity and debt capacity, but according to its website, the joint venture has spent more than $1 billion to date on the catalogs of such artists as Wiz Khalifa, Florida Georgia Line, songwriter Brett James and Frank Ocean collaborator Malay.
