It is likely that many of you are reaching the point of fill that a server has reached with the theme of Pokémon GO with the theme of Apple Music, Spotify, exclusives, Universal Music ... in fact, it is almost all the news that we have published in the last. If you are fed up with this issue, first of all I want to apologize, but the news that I tell you below has been curious to me, for going directly against what Apple and other streaming music companies think. It is true that these types of services have caused music piracy to have dropped considerably, since through our device we can access all the music we want at the precise moment. So far everything is correct.
But when the issue of musical exclusives comes into operation, maybe the company in question, we will talk about Apple Music because it is the last example of what I am talking about, maybe the shot backfires. The latest album that he has released corresponding to the R&B singer Frank Ocean and called Blonde arrived on Apple Music last week and will be there for two weeks exclusively. Apple's idea was to attract new users for the platform after this launch, but of course we will never know the impact in numbers that it may have had on Apple Music.
What we do know is that so far it has been downloaded more than 750.000 times. According to Music Business Worldwide, specialized in measuring internet data and performing analytics, states that on August 25, 5 days after the release of the album Blonde, it had been downloaded 753.849 times. This set of exclusives has already been checked, with Kanye West's album The Life of Pablo, which arrived exclusively at Tidal, was downloaded more than 500.000 times in the first week of availability. The conclusion we can reach is that people are not going to switch from their streaming music provider simply for exclusivity, but rather they prefer to download and enjoy it until it reaches their platform.
In addition, this exclusive system, which apparently does not benefit the service that obtains it according to these figures, Has cost the Cupertino-based company of Universal Music relationships, a firm that announced last week that it will no longer exclusively release any other album by an artist based on its label. To check the availability of this new album on the main torrent websites, we just have to take a tour of them to check that they are all in different qualities.
