What Kanye did for Tidal is crazy

[Saiyajin]

Yeah of course, my co-worker signed up for Tidal just for Kanye. And when her free trial was over they extended it. I know she's not the only one who signed up for Kanye. Clearly cause the numbers don't lie

even though she used a free trial, tidal still benefited because of her streams

Never got the hate for Tidal. They had a rough launch (Musicians & a fair $$$ share) but once they corrected the technical issues they had a great plan.

They can't be Apple Music or Spotify but they can carve out a real nice niche.

I still ain't subscribe

Kanye claims to have rejected a £100m deal from Apple to roll with Spotify. Even if he lying and it was only £10m..... that's massive. For the love of Jay.

These times Jay Z stopped wanting to be next to Kanye because Kanye married a reality TV thot and amateur pornstar. Didn't even go to duke's wedding.

Kanye on some "still got love for you" ish.

That's my Yeezus

did all this for Jay Z even tho Jayz never showed up to Kanye's wedding


i can almost imagine how the conversation went at Kanyes weddin

Kanye callin Jay Z all hyped and shyt like "ayy Jay when you get here bruh you gotta see what Jaden smith wearing this dude- uh really y-you cant make it? w-why not man its my wedding... you not feelin it. bey not feelin it either ah aw oh ok cool cool ill see you soon tho we needa get back in the studio and record that watch the th- *click* hello?"

When's the physical dropping??

 

[ItWasWritten]

Oh shyt I see it on Apple Music

 

[-DMP-]

So glad to see this might be working out for him (and Jay).

They can't be Apple Music or Spotify

Not with that attitude they can't.

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

I don't fukk with Tidal but I heard Life Of Pablo for the first time today.

It's legit.

That's real music right there; not that cacophony of pretentious garbage that Kendrick is trying to pass of as "art".

Ur one of the woat

 

[Idaeo]

People hate seeing successful people try to get more. A lot of people saw Tidal as a rich man trying to get richer, even though the only diffeence between it and Spotify is that their face is a black multi-millionaire instead of some white venture capitalists with millions/billions invested.
Once your success is know you're seen as greedy rather than driven.

 

[Calmye]

So did the album chart?

This shyt is so confusing now

Breh it's not even in the system. Kanye and Jay basically said fukk the industry on this

Kanye honestly could end up making Jay Z millions. Because it showed the world proof of the potential for Tidal. Tidal doing crazy numbers despite such a low subscriber base. Something no one would've guessed or expected because it goes against what's logical. But Tidal has exclusives which attracted it's users. It got these exclusives by promising to pay much much more per stream than spotify. Its crazy that Tidal is holding strong against not one but two giant companies, Apple Music and Spotify which have so much more money and power than Tidal.

I'd invest in Tidal if I wasn't broke as shyt because Jay Z's plan is pretty smart and just proved how powerful it is. By offering to pay artists way more than spotify, and signing on popular artists who will profit in exchange for having the artist release their album as a Tidal exclusive for a period of time (then releasing it everywhere else). It was risky but this literally proves he has the right idea, Kanye's album did these numbers partly cause it was exclusive to Tidal.

All the people that mocked Jay Z when he first announced Tidal. Assuming he's unintelligent and that he had no plan to go against Spotify and was doing this for fun. Smh.

He sold dope. I'm guessing he can sell some streams.

That article is from February 22, The album came out a few days earlier and the reason they didn't release the numbers is because it was Kanye's request. Not Tidal trying to hide something

this is according to an article written by Billboard yesterday.

Tidal also finally released numbers for Kanye West's The Life of Pablo streams for the first time, after West requested the service withhold the numbers when the album first became available in February. According to Tidal, Pablo surpassed 250 million streams in its first 10 days of release.

Here's the Billboard article

Tidal Claims Three Million Global Subscribers, Finally Releases Kanye's 'Pablo' Stream Numbers

In its first year, Tidal claims to have passed three million paid subscribers globally, adding about 2.5 million subs to the approximately 540,000 it had when it launched in the U.S.

That growth


Of those subscribers, 45 percent, or around 1.35 million, have signed up for its hi-fidelity, lossless audio/video tier, which costs $19.99 per month as opposed to its regular $9.99/month tier.

They willing to pay twice as much as spotify, that user loyalty

$360 million a year from hi fi sound.

$180 million from mregular $9.99 vesion

$540 million a year total

Tidal winning, cacs and self loathing defeatist negroes losing
