The issue of temporary exclusives in the streaming music sector has become more than common, although some record companies are not happy, as we have already mentioned. Beyoncé and Jay-Z are the main godfathers, apart from the owners, of Tidal and, as expected, each new album they release. it goes through their streaming music service beforehand.
Last Saturday, Beyonzé and Jay-Z's new album premiered on Tidal, an album called Everything is love exclusively for subscribers to Tidal, of which Jay-Z is its main shareholder. Two days after its exclusive premiere, the album they have released together is now available on both Apple Music, Spotify Premium and Amazon Music Unlimited.
The relationship between Beyoncé and Jay-Z in recent years has not been and still is not as good as one might expect. The disc Lemonade from Beyoncé has never been made available on Apple's music streaming service although it is available for sale through iTunes for 17,99 euros. Despite Jay-Z removing all albums from Apple Music in April 2017, a few months later they became available to subscribers to Apple's streaming music service again.
These two days of exclusive at Tidal are especially striking compared to Jay-Z's latest solo album 4:44, an album that spent a week exclusively at Tidal before officially making its arrival on Apple Music last summer.
A few weeks ago, various sources assured that the company I had financial problems, a problem that could cause the closure of the streaming music service in six months, something that for now has not happened as we can see.
