Yahoo: The numbers don’t lie: Jay-Z’s Tidal music service is already a spectacular flop

[Jesse Pinkman 4,660]

Backed by a MASSIVE marketing campaign and endorsements by some of the world's most powerful musicians, poor Tidal couldn't even crack the iTunes top 700.

Tidal has always felt like a wave that wasabout to crash, and the numbers reportedtoday by BGR revealed that it was a Justin Guarini-level flop.

Two weeks after Tidal briefly cracked the U.S. iPhone top 20 download chart, the app has crashed out of the top 700.

A dang QR code reader is currently #96 and Tidal can’t even break the top 700!

This would all be quite sad if Tidal hasn’t been founded by some of the industry’s wealthiest most successful musicians as a way of squeezing even more money out of their devoted fans, but because it was, there’s nothing to cry about. The people have spoken and they prefer Spotify and Pandora.

That TIDAL promo video was hilarious though. Its pretentious as **** then has people like Nicki Minaj and Rihanna telling their fans "we believe in quality" and a dose of other bull they read from a script

​How can they believe in quality when they release music like theirs?

To think so many ppl were poking fun at Gaga, Katy and so many others for not being a part of it...who's laughing now...?

I mean I know you're able to get a free trial but who the hell is going to pay 20 dollars for a music streaming site every month?  and practically artist that contributed to this tidal scheme are basically label puppets lol.

[holy scheisse 20,282]

lol tidal is a mess. they have so much money and want even more..... if it was endorsed by little names, maybe the story would be different, but these rich ass 1% people expecting us to pay them even more in the name of "equality"? Hellll no
