But but but...Jay Z is a snake :scusthov:

Some claimed Jay wasn't ever a trend setter. These moves by Tidal are definitely setting a trend.

Tidal is "slowly" making cats sign up to support their favorite artists. If their is continued success, I can see more big time artist signing with Tidal. Weather yall broke cats like it or not.

Ye gave it a solid boost.
So Kanye West is going to be dropping new albums every month? Beyonce too?

What a terrible timing "article". They gained 1.5 million subricers they say. It could add up to $15 million in revenue they say. What the fuk does that mean?! This shyt is atleast $10 a month right? So how the fuk does 1.5 million subscribers only " eventually" add up to $15 million and if you mean t monthly revenue then say monthly you stupid cocksucker

Ye's album is also compiling millions of stream data which Tidal can eventually most likely submit to billboard for certifications. So it's a huge win for Jay and Ye in the end. So his album was set as a Relauch of Tidal and it worked big time.

$15 million guaranteed revenue. They can't say monthly because it's not certain they will keep those subscribers.

And they said "it could add up to" because not all of those 1.5 million are paying subscribers.

The 1.5 Mil increase is a good look for Jay, but it doesn't change the fact that it'll be virtually impossible for Jay to continue running Tidal for longer than a few more years.

Music licensing rights are over a billion dollars a year right now for streaming companies, and they're going to go WAY up in the near future since all the major labels feel they're getting ripped off currently. In order to survice in the streaming game, you've either gotta be able to operate for damn near a decade without seeing any profit. Spotify's been running for 7 years and hasn't made a profit yet. To last in music streaming, you gotta be a huge company with billions in profit coming in from other products, (Apple, Google, Amazon) or have billions invested in your company from multiple firms (Spotify has Goldman Sachs and Dubai Oil money out the ass invested in them).

I've said before I think Jay is gonna try to get his subscriber numbers up to around 5 million, then sell the company to Samsung. Even though he wouldn't own Tidal after that, that's still a major power move.
