Competition within the streaming arena is heating up thanks to a series of major album exclusives.
For Jay Z’s TIDAL, it was the release of his wife Beyonce‘s ‘Lemonade’ LP that really positioned the platform as a plausible player.
The controversial project landed on the service first in the form of a stream and was released to retail 24 hours later. As at writing, it remains a TIDAL-only property on the streaming front.
Today, data released by the service, unveiled just how profitable said moves have been.
Full story below…
TIDAL revealed the following:
- 1.2 Million users have joined since the debut of ‘Lemonade’
- The album has been streamed 306 Million times worldwide
- 229 Million of said streams came from the USA
- The LP’s accompanying movie has been watched 11 Million times
The numbers are phenomenal on all fronts. Especially when considering that ‘Lemonade’ is generating figures that double, triple, and even quadruple the the averages of major releases on much larger services such as Spotify and Apple Music.
Having touted a user-base of 3 Million back in March and adding 1.2 Million into the mix now, TIDAL is showing that with the right power plays it can make sizeable and rapid gains.
The task now will be for the service to consistently engage rather than continue the “big release…then silence” strategy that has defined it since its messy launch.
SCREAMING!!!! THAT YONCE.IMPACT!!! DAMN ALMOST HALF A BILLIOM STREAMS ALREADY KII!!!!
Oh please!!!
First of all,Drake totally outsold her!!
And secondly,we all know that the majority of those new Tidal “subscribers” are only there for the free 3 month trial!!!!!
Delusional!!!!!!!
Lmfao oh please! Of course he outsold her first week. But it looks to be the Usual route for Bey she’ll outsell Drake in the long run. His sakes are taking a HUGE dip already.
.
Also gurrrl everyone knows that when you sign up fir Tidal Apple or Spotify you’re given a 30 day trial. Also that whole 90 day trail was an exclusive for Rihanna because Samsung paid for those 90 day trail. Anyone that goes to Tidal can clearly see it says 30 day Trial.
After 2 weeks,
no more songs on iTunes Top 10.
LOL
Such a weak album.
Beyonce is back to #1 and Drake is #3 on US ITune.
LEMONADE is almost a month old, no promo, no interviews and streaming only on a platform with limited subscribers, Yet it’s back at number one despite all the new releases from Popular artist, it has physical copies out now yet digital copies are out, it’s also battling with radioheads new album for number one on the UK charts (Lemonade is doing incredibly well in UK and even I’m kinda surprised) no international single yet, yet Hold up is holding up as a self proclaimed international single charting higher with no videos radioplays or promo(interviews) u gotta admit it Bey has a strong impact 20 yrs into her career, Lemonade will definitely be number one again on BB charts in its 4th week, but as to the charts for this 3rd weeks is unpredictable it’s between drakes second week sales and radioheads first week sales so well see, lol Views has stumbled to number 4 in Us and 6 in UK.. amma keep running cos a winner don’t quit on themselves
Queen!
“Who the f*** do you think I am? You ain’t married to no average b****, boy! You better watch my fat ass twist, boy,…as I bounce to the next ****, boy! Keep your money; I got my own!”
??????????????
That includes me. I also got presale tickets for her concert in New Orleans from Tidal. Going to my first concert since I saw Prince in Lafayette a long time ago! Can’t wait!
Kiii now the hive+ celebrates streams i thought they were against it
If only that helped the lemonade singles that fell down the Hot 100 in one week

Damn bitxh stfu! You come into a Beyoncé post every single fuxking time foaming out the mouth SCREAMING like a no teeth s.e.x deprived banshee! Like you never even comment to what the post pertains to. Instead your illiterate ass just goes on with these NOVELS of extreme error and headaches! Bitxh practice what you preach and begone!
Hailbeysus batty buoy b*** sniffer you the biggest rih hater always up in her articles go suck s*** dirty mongrel homeless b**** stfu no one talking to your section A ass
Fuxk Rihanna and her fans! I try giving credit in her post but the Slavi wanna try it all the time so im forces togive lashings to the peasants!! You stay frothing out the mouth smashing that keyboard and seething over Bey. You talk all this shít yet always contradict yourself! Also for the LOVE OF GOD TRY USING A LITTLE PUNCTUATION BITXH! I know the slums have you writing with your own feces but gurrrl prevail PREVAIL FROM IT ALL!!!
Girl you’re no Monica stan, stop trolling. Lake Erie/Brandy stan/Shakira stan is that you. You Brandy fans stay trying to get Monica dragged. Not cute, and beyond pathetic.
Congratulations beyonce formation
But doesnt a rather large portion of tidal subcribers come from the free trials? Either way still imptessive also impressive yonce sold 1 mill ww in 2 tracking weeks (700+k + 300+k) worldwide. I thot yonce was LOCAL??? Lemonade also sold very close to drakes 1st wk in the UK on its first wk (both selling more than rih in a single wk…) actually bey sold more than drake in the UK if u count full 7 day wk on itunes. Makes me wonder what would happen if bey & drake both released on same day friday. Self titled sold what drake sold in the us & more ww in its first wk. Only Drakes ww figures register at 1 million pure sales(1st wk). My guess is Drake would probably sell slightly more landing at #1 but with a huge drop Bey rebounds at #1 with higher 2nd wk sales.
Tired of your lame ass essays.
Damn I miss Prince
225M on just Tidal. Imagine if it was on spotify and Youtube!
As expected! That’s why she is tagged QUEENN unlike those two that released albums with no impact. Bow down B******
Queen S***?
In other news. FWT is averaging $5.2 Million per show besting OTR tour’s 5M per show and becoming the highest grossing show average per date for a female ever and second only to U2’s $6.7M. Music’s reigning ? ???.
#OnlyWaytoGoIsUp
Sis I heard she’s getting ready to announce Australian and New Zealand dares for The Formation World Tour!!! This bish coming for that $300+ million tour!!! ????
Is 225 million a good assumption of 2+ million ppl streaming considering album only has 11 tracks. Btw is Views exclusively on applemusic or was it also released to tidal? If not then he costing tidal money! Lol beys forbes figures will be HUGE with album and tour making BANK. Poor frih only winning in the 0.99$ department and still work hasnt even sold 2 million in the Us even tho it was #1 for 9 wks
KIIII THA CARTERS avging $5 mill per show while Rihsceduled can Barely do 900k…$$$
Looooool the youthful streaming queen/icon remains unbothered while the dinosaurs/witches play catch up!
Hey Janet, I heard ForeHeads streams are at 800m after 3months Meanwhile Beys at 300m after 3 weeks kiii!!! Through just Tidal at that ????
SO apparently the Home Office are trying to ban AZOO-animalia Banks from the UK altogether LMFAO! She’s filth, but that’s a bit much eh?
Kiii ban that hóë and the US need to banish her to Arif Nagar slums and let ger rit and decay like the trash she is!
SCREAMSSSSS!!! where are da lyeeeeees!!!!!!
Rih break records everywhere else no one checking for tidal ass so yall haters trying to make comparison with Rih streaming records when streaming could neva eva help give bey a number one in this motherfucking decade I tried been nice and congratulate but you mongrels comes in packs bringing Rih up okay let this dragging fest begin
Death!!! Bitxh in what world did you try congratulating? Because all your comments are of your herpeee infested kummm mouth seething to the fullest! I can’t with you illiterate broke 3rd world ass claiming to drag! Just reading your broken comments is a self drag for both you and I kiii!!
I can’t with you! First your illiterate, second your broke dwelling in the slums, third your seething full time and now your delusional making up random versions of events in your head claiming you congratulated Bey. ?????!!! Get it together @Rosario Dawson!!
@Risotto Take thatt bullsh*t out of my reply box you dusty ass b*tch because nobody even mentioned that W**** that you stan for.
This confirms 2 things:
1) Thighyonce stans won’t purchase a full price album.
2) Thighyonce is local AF.
Then why is it back at #1 on iTunes? Seeth b****.
I Told Myself I Wasn’t Gonna Get Tidal, But I Gave In When Lemonade Came Out. I Like Tidal So Far. I Like How I Can Set up My Music The Way I Want To Listen To It. When The Song Plays, My Genius App Pops Up & I Can Sing Along & Read What The Lyrics Means.
B1tch bye. You know your ass is dropping it as soon as your free month is up.
I Was Thinking About Unsubscribing After I Seen The Lemonade Album, But I Kept It Because Tidal Has Single Tracks In One Playlist I Can Keep & Listen To @ Any Time. It’s Hard To Download Songs For Free Nowadays, So $9.99 A Month Is Not A Big Deal. The Only Thing I Don’t Like About Tidal Is They Don’t Have Every Song Or Every Artist On The List. I Can’t Find Monica On Tidal & Tidal Only Has Aaliyah’s Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number Album.

That B!itch drops lemonade & sells 850k PURE SALES in 3 wks while my Fav RIHSCEDULEDANNa can barely sell 400k after 3 & 1/2 months. I will admit tho i didnt expect Anti to still be selling 40+k worldwide tho, shell probably stall at 1.2 mill ww which is good considering its epic flop in the US & UK

B****** love to bring up Adele! Ain’t bought Adeles album but steady throwing up her sales. ? Bey is Queen. Just accept it as your fave has!
I knew the rihanna stans was going to try to use Adele’s sales after Lemonade over took Drakes album. Anyway, let me stay on topic. Jayz better be thankful to Beyonce, Prince and Kanye, for those new subscribers.
Beys 4th wk SPS better not be higher than drakes 3rd wk. Bey dropping at a much slower pace than i thought. I hear one dance on the radio a lot but no bey songs outside of formation. I thought they sent out sorry, ive yet to hear it. I did hear 6 inch about a wk ago. I think radio trying sabatoge bey and all artist over 30.
Diabetics you areso right radio Congrant to queen bey the one and only
Yasss I got my downloaded copy of lemonade, cause I slay!
Congrats Beyonce! Rih, Kanye and beyonce have helped the service.. Usher and AK can bring more potential subscribers and that’s what they were planning all along
So lemonade is back at #1 on iTunes!! Drake #3??? This n**** getting blocked by Megan trainor for the #2 spot!! EGGS IN YALL BANDWAGONERS FACE!!!!!
SCREAMS! I told y’all that Lemonade would be back on top
BEYONCE IS BACK TO NR1 ON US ITUNES AND DRAKE IS #3.
