BMG Acquires the Publishing Rights of Snap! Co-Founder Luca Anzilotti

BMG has acquired the publishing interests of German music producer Luca Anzilotti, co-founder of Eurodance group Snap!.

The catalog:

• Formed in 1989, Snap!’s catalog includes 1990 debut album World Power, which reached Number 1 in several European countries and earned Gold and Platinum certifications.

• 1992 single “Rhythm Is a Dancer” was a Top 5 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100, and a chart topper across multiple European countries.

Consolidation:

• BMG says the acquisition marks a significant step in its long-term strategy to consolidate the Snap! catalog.

• It previously acquired the sound recordings to the band’s catalog in 2016, and acquired co-founder Michael Münzing’s writer shares in 2022.

What they said:

• Luca Anzilotti: “Having seen firsthand how BMG has successfully managed the Snap! catalog, I feel incredibly confident that my legacy is in the best possible hands. Bringing all these pieces together under BMG's roof is the logical next step, ensuring our music continues to be actively cared for and reaches its full potential globally. I'm excited to see what comes next for Snap! with BMG.”
