Perry and her recording label, Custard, filed a lawsuit against Warner Music and Atlantic Records. Custard believes it is owed several million dollars from sales of James Blunt’s CD, Back to Bedlam, reports Reuters.
More than 11 million copies of the disc were sold. The single You’re Beautiful topped the charts around the globe, earning Atlantic more than $100 million.
A spokesperson for Warner Music contends that the company held up its end of the contract. In the 2003 agreement, Atlantic was to pay Custard 20% of the American sales of Back to Bedlam.
