Administrators of Michael Jackson's estate and Sony Music Entertainment announced a seven-year distribution deal for as many as 10 Jackson projects, Los Angeles Times reported on Tuesday.
The contract through 2017 could be worth up to 250 million dollars, which is one of the biggest recording deals in history.
"We and Sony feel that the future for Michael Jackson is unlimited," said John Branca, a special administrator for the estate. "During his life, Michael's contracts set the standard for the industry," said John Branca. "By all objective criteria, this agreement with Sony Music demonstrates the lasting power of Michael's music by exceeding all previous industry benchmarks."
Rob Stringer, chairman of Sony Music's Columbia Epic Label Group, said,"We are dedicated to protecting this icon's legacy and we are thrilled that we can continue to bring his music to the world for the foreseeable future."
The AP reported that a new album of unreleased Jackson recordings will come out in November. Future projects may also include a DVD compilation of videos and a re-release of "Off the Wall."
Nevertheless, the money will go a long way to settling Jackson's debts, estimated at around 400 million dollars at the time of his death.

Going bald at the age of 30 may be a dent to the ego of most men, but new research suggests it could be a good thing.
Men whose hairlines start to recede at a young age are 45 per cent less likely to fall victim to prostate cancer, according to scientists.
An American team has linked the high levels of testosterone in those who go bald earlier to a lower risk of tumours. They studied 2,000 men aged between 40 and 47, half of whom had suffered prostate cancer. The rate of tumours in those who said their hair had thinned by the age of 30 was compared with those who did not suffer hair loss.
Men such as Prince William, 27, who had started to develop bald spots on the top of their heads as well as receding hairlines had the least risk of cancer.
Half of all men suffer hair loss by the age of 50, a source of concern for many young of them. Surveys showing nearly half think going bald makes them feel old and less attractive while three out of four have self esteem problems.
The findings, published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, will be controversial as other smaller studies have suggested hair loss increases the risk of cancer.
"At first, the findings were surprising," Professor Jonathan Wright, an expert in prostate cancer at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, told the Daily Mail. "But we found that early onset baldness was associated with a 29 per cent to 45 per cent reduction in their relative risk of prostate cancer."
Most baldness is caused when hair follicles, the tiny sacs in the scalp from which hair grows, become exposed to too much dihydrotestosterone, or DHT.
