Australian singer and songwriter Sia<\/strong> has reportedly sold a 50% stake in her music catalogue for $180 million<\/strong>, in a major deal with Swedish music investment company Pophouse.<\/p>\n

According to TMZ, the agreement covers royalties from her record label, as well as publishing rights and original recordings connected to her music.<\/p>\n

The deal comes as Sia continues divorce proceedings with Dan Bernard, with documents reportedly detailing how the proceeds from the sale will be treated.<\/p>\n

Of the $180 million deal, $165 million relates to songs Sia wrote before her marriage<\/strong>, including some of her biggest hits such as Chandelier<\/em> and Cheap Thrills<\/em>.<\/p>\n

According to documents cited by TMZ, Bernard has agreed to waive any claim to that $165 million in exchange for $1 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The remaining $15 million<\/strong> relates to songs created during the couple\u2019s marriage. That amount is reportedly being held in a separate account while the former couple works through any potential dispute.<\/p>\n

Pophouse deal includes Sia music and digital project<\/h2>\n

The agreement with Pophouse reportedly covers Sia\u2019s publishing rights and original recordings but does not include commercial use of her name or image.<\/p>\n

The partnership will also involve the development of an interactive digital production featuring an avatar based on Sia\u2019s music<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Rolling Stone<\/em> has reported that an official announcement of the deal is expected soon.<\/p>\n

Sia and Bernard married in 2023. The singer filed for divorce in March 2025, around a year after the birth of their son, Somersault Wonder Bernard.<\/p>\n

The couple share custody of their child.<\/p>\n

Sia was also previously ordered to pay Bernard $42,500 a month in spousal support<\/strong>, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The catalogue deal represents a major transaction involving one of Australia\u2019s most successful contemporary songwriters, whose catalogue includes global hits such as Chandelier<\/em>, Cheap Thrills<\/em>, Elastic Heart<\/em> and Titanium<\/em>.<\/p>\n
