Tidal has seen a steady first year under Jay-Z’s ownership but it may be his wife Beyonce and friends Kanye West and Rihanna that make it a true success.<\/h4>\n

February 2016 will go down in history as the month that Tidal changed the game and marked it’s place in the music streaming industry. Okay… maybe not but nonetheless it\u00a0has\u00a0<\/em>been a landmark month for the HQ streaming service, seeing 1 single and 2 different albums by music superstars drop exclusively on the platform, bolstering it’s subscribers and use.<\/p>\n

Kanye West, self proclaimed king of hip-hop<\/a>, released his seventh album The Life of Pablo this\u00a0week after a year of hype and teasing. Kanye released the album exclusively on his good friend Jay-Z’s music streaming service – Tidal. As a result Tidal got pushed to the top of the iOS App Store charts<\/a> for the first time ever. In the weeks leading up to this release Rihanna’s new album ANTI and Beyonc\u00e9’s new single ‘Formation’\u00a0was made available solely on the platform.<\/p>\n

Ye, Bey and Rhi have all had massively successful music careers and could signify the rise of Tidal as fans are directed to the service. Tidal has so far been a steady ship on an ocean of warring music streaming ships. The service is holding it’s own but has yet to reach the success of competitors, despite it’s backing from a multitude of music stars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tidal is a\u00a0music service that holds a\u00a0niche in high quality streaming<\/a>.\u00a0It was bought and relaunched by rapper turned businessman\u00a0Jay-Z last January. Since then the company has seen ventures into\u00a0TV shows<\/a>, held exclusive concerts and hit over\u00a01 million subscribers<\/a>. Whilst a million subscribers seems like a lot it’s a pale comparison to competitors like Spotify approaching 30 million<\/a>\u00a0and Apple Music who have earned 11 million subscribers<\/a> and released later than Tidal last year.<\/p>\n

After The Life of Pablo’s release, to mixed-positive reviews<\/a>, West said it would release elsewhere next week<\/a> but has since gone back on himself, saying it will never release outside of Tidal<\/a>. Beyonc\u00e9’s single also remains exclusive to Tidal but at the least Rihanna fans can find ANTI on other services now, or buy in stores.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
