Warner Chappell Extends Global Deal with Stromae’s Mosaert Label

Warner Chappell Music (WCM), the music publishing arm of Warner Music Group, has renewed its worldwide administration deal with Mosaert, the independent creative house and publishing company founded by Belgian artist Stromae.

The deal:

• Stromae’s catalog, including albums like Cheese, racine carrée, and Multitude, along with Diamond-certified hits like “Alors on dance” and “Papaoutai,” will continue to be represented by WCM globally.

• It oversees all aspects of Stromae’s work, from stage design to costumes, visuals to videos, songwriting to production.

• The company has also produced videos for artists such as Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa and Orelsan.

• It also runs its own fashion label, with collections made from sustainable fabrics.

Recent success:

• Last year, “Alors on danse” reached 21 x Diamond certification.

• Following its release in 2024, “Ma Meilleure Ennemie” became the most-streamed Francophone song in a 24-hour period in Spotify history.
