why is everyone going crazy about this? It was just a business deal. Rihanna was smart for doing this especially now since she has her Masters! That's 1 million sold without Itunes taking their cut. Not to mention the deal Tidal must have offered her to release the album via their site/app.
also alot of people doubt she sold 400k via Tidal. I don't. when the link to the free album went down and from that point on you had to pay to download/listen, people were still rushing to the app expecting a free album. I'm sure their were plenty willing to pay. too bad those can't be counted. Im hoping they release some proof
