WCM U.K. CUTS IN ON SCISSOR SISTERS

Warner Chappell has acquired the catalog of Scissor Sisters. The deal includes the band's two U.K. #1 albums, its self-titled 2004 debut, 2006 follow-up Ta-Dah and two other Top 5 LPs. All were released on Polydor. In total, Scissor Sisters have sold more than 7m units worldwide, nearly 3m in the U.K. alone. The three-time BRIT Award winners had nine U.K. Top 20 hits.

“Scissor Sisters are such an iconic name in dance and pop culture, and their early songs still sound as fresh and innovative as they did when they first came out,” said WCM U.K. Creative Manager Emily Foreman. “I’m looking forward to finding ways to connect their songs with new audiences.”

Said Peter Loraine, owner of Fascination Management, the band’s newly appointed legacy manager, which worked with them at Polydor, “It was an honor to be asked by the band to nurture and develop their business. Their catalog of music and visuals is first class and has so much potential. To be reunited professionally is a dream come true.”
