I just realized Beyonce has control over Runnin (Lose It All)
She should have performed it

Yes, that's her's. She was offered a 360 deal early in her career that would've given her advance cash in exchange for limited rights but she decided to completely control her publishing instead.

edit: okay i swear this thread was closed for a second?

Slay Katy!! I love the name and she did the right thing, look how big she is now and has total control of her music. No wonder she killed forbes and her earnings were insane.... Beyonce and Katy.... business savy chanteuses! No label puppets here.

I wonder which other pop girls own their masters and have control of the publishing of their music

I'm guessing you didn't read the disclaimer at the bottom that says the the info may not be 100% correct and on top of that it only displays who has control based upon who is represented by that company, not overall.

maybe because they wrote most of it?

Bey sent FM to Nicki.

This has been known from jump, so what was the OP trying to prove?

Poor OP

Remixed

She didn't write a majority of the songs.

Katy did it very early in her career though.

That isn't in the disclaimer.

So Katy's the reason GOYK wasn't released? Mess

Well she owns and controls all of her publishing, as per her record contract.

The battle among labels to sign Minaj heightened this summer and finalized with Minaj signing an exceptional and very unique deal with Young Money/Universal, where she retains and owns all of her 360 rights, including merchandising, sponsorships, endorsements, touring and publishing.
