From Believe’s $600m IPO to Hipgnosis and Influence Media’s catalog deals: It’s MBW’s Weekly Round-up May 14, 2021 Welcome to Music Business Worldwide’s weekly round-up – where we make sure you caught the five biggest stories to hit our headlines over the past seven days. MBW’s round-up is supported by Centtrip, which helps over 500 of the world’s best-selling artists maximise their income and reduce their touring costs. The biggest story in the global music rights industry this year will be, if all goes well, Universal Music Group‘s entry onto the public market in Amsterdam. UMG looks likely to be beaten to the stock exchange in Europe, however, by Believe – the indie artist and label services company headquartered in Paris.
