AI Summary
Bertelsmann, through its music division BMG, is heavily investing in the US country music market, particularly in Nashville. This strategy is part of a larger "Boost" initiative by Bertelsmann. BMG acquired rights to Jason Aldean's recordings and other songs for approximately $250 million in September of last year, highlighting the genre's popularity in the US. The US market accounts for nearly half of BMG's revenue. While BMG recently sold a majority stake in Tina Turner's rights, it is unlikely to sell Aldean's catalog soon, emphasizing its commitment to the country music sector.
