Riha'love Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Did he do 1.5 B streams on Tidal? Or was it on free downloads or something like that? I'm trying to understand, I don't consider that as cheating whatever he did anyway since RIAA has it rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did the same deal last era with Samsung and still opened with 528k pure sales with MCHG. exactly its not "rihanna's impact"...jay z secured the same deal for her that he already had on his last album but unlike her...he still opened up with 528k in real sales and did 1 million in pure sales...which we're will still waiting for anti to do over a year later Edited July 5, 2017 by giRLbye.

It's not cheating..you just have to know how to work the system. you guys call it cheating, I call it SMART. TIDAL doesn't have enough subscribers to guarantee him 1M units in streams though, especially since you had to be a subscriber before the album came out to even listen to it. There's literally no way this could be legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL still don't understand after all those years.. lol and yes, they do audits before certification. Where is the 1M in SEA though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Plus, do people actually still care about Jay-Z for anything other than the fact that he's married to Bey? I mean, I obviously know he's like, a rap legend and whatever, but it feels like the only press he gets nowadays is something related to Bey or his family life.) This is why I can't take 90% of this websites opinions seriously. This is embarrassing lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vrx. Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Him lying saying that he's getting 300M streams per day on Tidal Those Programmers and IT staff better be getting a FAT check for fabricating those numbers in that database Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that he's done a lot for the music industry and is a rap icon and everything. I'm not trying to discredit him from that. And maybe I'm a bit too far removed from the rap genre to really fully understand his impact, but it just seems like nowadays, he gets more press for being married to Beyoncé than for his own career. I know people don't only know him as "the guy that married Beyoncé," but he doesn't get nearly as much attention for his actual music career anymore, which is unfortunate because he is a rap icon and I think musicians should be more known for their music than for their celebrity status.

NickARTPOP Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I'm not surprised, can't wait til Tidal reports record breaking streaming numbers that just don't match the demand he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap10Planet Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I can see Jay-Z doing 250-300k pure sales first week and 400k SPS. I don't think his album will have much longevity (at least not in sales) without a big hit, though. He probably won't even promote the album.
