In March 2010, nine months after the singer's death, the estate of Michael Jackson (USA, 1958–2009) brokered a recording contract with Sony Music Entertainment worth a staggering $250 million (then £165 million). The agreement, the largest ever in the music industry, demanded 10 albums of previously unreleased songs and repackaged existing material over a period of seven years.
