    Flacko Too Blessed To Be Humble

    Apr 21, 2015
    "Two weeks after Tidal briefly cracked the U.S. iPhone top 20 download chart, the app has crashed out of the top 700. Apparently American consumers have limited empathy towards Beyonce and Nicki. Soon after the launch fiasco, Tidal’s CEO was kicked out in a “streamlining” move. The new CEO Peter Tonstad, a former consultant for the Norwegian Ministry of Environment, has his work cut out for him.

    To make matters worse for Tidal, its main rivals are now surging. On April 20th, Pandora and Spotify occupied positions No. 3 and No. 4 on the U.S. iPhone revenue chart, respectively. This was the first time two music streaming services have hit the top 4 in sales simultaneously. In order to achieve the feat, Pandora and Spotify had to push out Candy Crush Saga out of U.S. iPhone top 4 revenue chart, which is a remarkable achievement."

    it will make it to the top of the list, then once everyone's listened to it... they'll leave.

    Hey! It's kind of like SL when a new Eminem song dropped

    You can't expect a business like that to totally take over streaming within 2 weeks. Spotify didn't get as large as it is in 2 weeks. BGR is a awful site, that is heavily slanted in its reporting. The owner is the biggest apple fan boy

    "Kanye West only helped to launch TIDAL back in March, but is the rapper jumping ship already? The future of the music subscription service looks uncertain after it dropped out of the iOS chart – and West has now deleted a host of tweets about the company. As well as deleting all mentions of TIDAL from his feed, West has also changed his avatar from a picture of the TIDAL logo to a picture of his My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy artwork. The deleted tweets included one that said: “Together, we can turn the tide and make music history. Start by turning your profile picture blue #TIDALforALL”.

    Utterly shocked that a marketing campaign consisting of "listen to us we're rich and famous" didn't work
