Why hasn't Beyoncé's "Lemonade" been put on Spotify yet?

[MichealScott 753]

It's been almost 11 months since she released it. She's slowly been putting parts of the film on her YouTube channel, and the whole Grammys situation happened . It just doesn't make sense to me

Jay-z is her husband. Why even are you making a topic for this when it's so obvious.

Beyoncé retains all rights to her work, and licenses physical / digital sales to Columbia Records.

Streaming rights she maintains fully, and the fact is that streaming companies are still very new and shady, and owned in part by the giant recording companies themselves.

This is why Tidal is such an important venture, because artists own it.

I can't tell you how many reports I've read/heart of artists who haven't seen a single cent from their streaming royalties.

With Lemonade it adds unique value to Tidal's catalog, and she can afford to take this chance on it because of strong sales.
