The sale is part of a prerequisite put in place by the European Commission over Universal Music Group's $2.19billion acquisition of BMG Music Publishing.

Sony ATV - part owned by Michael Jackson - adds an impressive list of copyrights to its 400,000 strong roster with the acquisition.

Talking of Shakira, the latin star has set a new record in Mexico for the largest free concert gathering.
