Needs attention

• Obtain the August 6, 2025 asset purchase agreement and its operative schedules: the bill of sale transfers defined “Purchased Assets,” but does not name these tracks. Also show how the three Lyric Mello assignees connect to the Lyric Copyright Services Fund 2 / Songs of Spirit entities named in the claim-authorization letter.
• For Numb and Numb (Alok Remix), provide the operative composition-rights instruments and clarify the represented parties’ shares. The registration names individual authors/claimants; the internal tracker records 40% composition, but no reviewed grant establishes that share or its chain to the represented parties.
• For Summer, establish the rightsholder’s master and composition interests as of the Cedar Point post on 2020-08-03. The reviewed asset bill of sale is dated 2025 and does not establish rights at the earlier post date.

Rights by work

• Numb — original recording

  Show chain diagram
  • Master: The catalogue asserts both estates, and the internal Marshmello tracker records a 100% Lyric master share. The reviewed bill of sale is a general transfer to Lyric Mello entities, subject to a separate purchase agreement; it does not identify this recording. Transfer of this master to the represented rights holders is not established.
  • Composition: The “Numb” music registration identifies five individual authors/claimants. The internal tracker records a 40% Kobalt/Spirit aggregate composition share. No reviewed instrument establishes that share’s transfer to the represented rights holders.

• Numb (Alok Remix)

  Show chain diagram
  • Master: The registration identifies this exact remix and Marshmello Creative, LLC as claimant, with “new sounds” included and “preexisting sounds” excluded. The 2025 bill of sale names Marshmello Creative among the assignors and Lyric Mello entities as assignees, but its incorporated asset purchase agreement—which defines the transferred assets—was not available. The registration and bill of sale do not establish the full remix master’s transfer to the represented rights holders.
  • Composition: The underlying “Numb” composition is the same work described above: the registration names individual authors/claimants and the internal tracker lists a 40% Kobalt/Spirit aggregate share. No reviewed composition grant establishes the represented parties’ rights or share.

• Summer

  Show chain diagram
  • Master: The internal tracker records a 100% Lyric master share, but no reviewed instrument identifies the exact recording as a transferred asset. The registration lead found is for a “NOW That’s What I Call Music!” compilation, not this standalone “Summer” recording; it does not establish this master. Rights at the 2020 post date remain open.
  • Composition: The internal tracker records a 100% Kobalt/Spirit aggregate composition share. The reviewed registration lead is not for this song, and no underlying composition-rights agreement or historical chain to the represented parties was found in the inspected files.
