Sony Music Publishing Acquires Hipgnosis Songs Group
Sony Music Publishing has acquired Recognition Music Group's publishing and administration company Hipgnosis Songs Group, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. The acquisition comes five years after Recognition Music Group — which used to be known as Hipgnosis Songs Fund until the company rebranded three months ago — purchased music publisher Big Deal Music in 2020, rebranding that company as Hipgnosis Songs Group shortly after. Hipgnosis Songs has stakes in hits like Alex Warren's 'Ordinary,' and Sabrina Carpenter's 'Espresso' and 'Bed Chem' among others. The publishing company is the only asset Sony acquired from Recognition.

On top of earning the number one most complained about moment of 2025 so far, with one episode, which aired on February 12th, amassing 1,347 complaints. The episode showed Ekin-Su getting into a blazing row with Elma Pazar and Sammy Root as tensions flared after the heart rate challenge. The previous episode, which led up to the row, also earned over 800 complaints, with viewers also taking issue with 'bullying' between the islanders. However, the show may be about to be dethroned, with Mickey Rourke's homophobic comments against JoJo Siwa in Celebrity Big Brother quickly rising the ranks. The moment, which aired on April 9th and resulted in Mickey getting a formal warning from Big Brother for his inappropriate remarks, has clocked 1,010 complaints to date. GB News has also come under fire, earning three of the top 10 most complained about moments of the year. The Brit Awards also sparked controversy, earning 825 complaints thanks to Sabrina Carpenter's raunchy performance of Bed Chem, which was deemed 'too sexual' for the pre-watershed timeslot.
