Jessie J banked over £7,000,000 in pop earnings last year despite not releasing any new music in three years.
The Price Tag hitmaker – real name Jessica Ellen Cornish – made an astonishing £7.6 million in pop earnings, equating to almost £28,000 per day.
The figures were lodged at Companies House and take her ongoing earnings at Who You Are Ltd and Who You Are Touring Ltd to £9.9million, although industry figures suggest that the 36-year-old artist could have sold the rights to her back catalogue.
It is not known how much Jessie paid herself out of these figures.
This eye-watering sum is despite Jessie not releasing any new music since 2021 single I Want Love.
It comes after the singer’s decision to cut ties with record label Republic and manage her own career.
She has been signed to the company for 17 years, releasing her big hits like Price Tag and Domino through them.
Posting the news on Instagram last year, Jessie explained that she was keen for there to ‘not be a negative spin’ on the news as there was ‘nothing but good vibes’, and so had decided to show her face while making the statement that her lawyer was recommending.
‘I’ve just been texting my lawyer and he said that I needed to write a statement about this decision that I have made,’ she said.
She also explained that she didn’t ‘want it to feel like a huge, big thing even though it is obviously – but it isn’t.’
Jessie continued: ‘After 17 years I have decided to leave Republic Records. I was about six months pregnant when I made this decision.
‘Monte and Avery Lipman, and Jason Flomm have been so gracious and kind in supporting my decision and letting me go. It’s been honestly the most amazingly high and low ride of my life,’ she continued.
Calling Republic ‘the best record label in the world’, she shared: ‘I have to just be honest with who I am and what I want from my career now and how I feel – and being signed just doesn’t sit with that now.’
Jessie – who has son Sky, 18 months, with her basketball star partner Chanan Safir Colman – recently described how she was ‘killing it’ after taking control of her own career.
The pop icon, who is currently on tour in China, wrote on Instagram: ‘I have been managing myself and killing it tbh, and I am in the process of sorting the business side (which is 90 per cent of this industry) of leaving a label after 19 years and splits and cuts and money and the list goes on and on and on… and I am a toddler Mum.’
Jessie previously revealed that she had rediscovered her ‘sparkle’ after becoming a mother as she reflected on finding her ‘new self’ as a parent.
The star – who suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage in 2021 – wrote on Instagram: ‘The road to feeling like your new self after a baby is a slow one (in my opinion) and I’m still on it for sure…
‘BUT the way this little boy looks at me and loves me. Phew. He is bringing my sparkle back. Just look at the last picture.’
