– J– On the heels of announcing a first-of-its-kind partnership and offer, global music and entertainment platform TIDAL and Sprint (NYSE: S) are excited to share JAY-Z’s new album, 4:44 – the first in a series of exclusives offered to the 45 million postpaid and prepaid Sprint customers and existing TIDAL members. NEW ALBUM EXCLUSIVE TO SPRINT CUSTOMERS AND EXISTING TIDAL MEMBERS In a peripheral note, all Tidal communications about Jay Z in the past 24 hours included a hyphen in his name, which he officially removed in 2013. Jay Z’s official album announcement is just the latest news spike in an extremely hectic two weeks for the veteran MC, which in addition to the elaborate “4:44” campaign saw the birth of his and Beyonce’s twins (according to reports), his induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame (the ceremony for which he did not attend, presumably because of the twins’ births), and his announcement via an op-ed for Time that he intends to help provide bail money for incarcerated dads on Fathers’ Day. 1 streaming service in the U.S., claimed last week to have passed 140 global users and in March said it had reached 50 million paying subscribers its closest competitor, Apple Music, announced earlier this month that it had passed the 27-million subscriber mark. Limiting Beyonce’s “Lemonade” to Tidal took a significant bite out of that album’s chart performance: While Tidal has claimed as many as 3 million paying subscribers, a January report in a Norwegian publication claimed to cite company reports to labels as saying it had just 800,000 subscribers and 1.2 million active users. The length of time the album will be a Tidal exclusive will have a dramatic effect on its chart success. However, both of those albums are available at retail as downloads and physical product there is currently no indication that will be the case with “4:44,” although it seems very likely at some point.
The move is somewhat reminiscent of the release of both Jay Z’s 2013 album “Magna Carta Holy Grail” - which, as part of an estimated $20 million deal between Jay’s Roc Nation company and Samsung, saw 1 million owners of Galaxy devices receive the album for free, three days before its wide release - and Beyonce’s 2016 album “Lemonade,” which is available for streaming only on Tidal.
