...Late last year she and her lawyers approached four record companies, Sony, PolyGram, DreamWorks SKG and Disney, asking for a $100 million deal. Unsatisfied by their offers, she returned to Virgin, for which she has previously recorded, and got her $80 million. In part this may be because Thorn EMI, Virgin's parent company, is rumored to be looking to sell its music holdings and thus needs to hang on to assets like Jackson to ensure those holdings remain attractive...
