Primary Wave confirmed to Rolling Stone that Wilson’s deal comprises his entire catalog. The cherry on top is the karaoke anthem that is Semisonic’s “Closing Time,” which spent 13 weeks at Number One on the modern rock chart in 1998. It also houses six songs from The Chicks’ Taking the Long Way, one being “Not Ready to Make Nice, which won the Song of the Year Grammy in 2007. Wilson’s deal includes a total of three Adele songs - “One and Only,” “Don’t You Remember,” and the multi-platinum “Someone Like You” - all of which are on the star’s groundbreaking debut album 21, which he helped produce. And it comes just one month after Stevie Nicks’ similar deal with Primary Wave. Only one week into 2021, this is the third major acquisition of songwriting rights this year, following that of Fleetwood Mac’s Lindsey Buckingham and Neil Young.
Genre-traversing hitmaker and Semisonic frontman Dan Wilson has signed over 100% of his catalog - around 350 songs - to music publishing and management company Primary Wave, the latter announced on Thursday.
