Who else but the queen of streaming?

LITERALLY HOW

And all through Tidal

And that Miley-Rihanna stan got banned too.

Fishy? 33,3 streams per user in 5 days is fishy?
6 streams per days is fishy? 5 minutes per stream max, honey you have 24 hours a day.

Ok but then you're assuming EVERY user is active. All 3 million. C'mon now, this is common sense. Something seems off.

Don't Tidal have 3 million paid subscribers ? I'm on free trial.

Queen of both albums AND streaming

the last time they had 3M paid subscribers was when Pablo came out. Prince passed and Bey's album came out so we don't know how much they have now and how much signed up for trials. These numbers could very well be fictitious but until I see HDD and Billboard question it, you might have to take your anger somewhere else.

Tidal have been called out before for falsifying numbers. This seems very unlikely just given the fact that almost everyone with a US subscription to Tidal would have had to have streamed the full album at least.

Was I? Do you really think Hive only listened to her new album 6 tracks per day? They could give it 60 streams per day. I will wait for Billboard numbers. Right now it's not official yet.

Edit: I played Sorry 156 times already.

A lot more people subscribed to Tidal solely to listen to Lemonade. Of course these numbers are ****ing realistic!

You're trying really hard to discredit these facts. Sad.

Legend. 18 years into her career

I personally think that Tidal has reported inflated numbers (wouldn't be the first time they do this), but it is undeniable that the album brought thousands of new listeners to the service.

And still being able to sell 500k digital copies is impressive.

A fuUcking LEGEND

If the numbers were inflated and not proven unequivocally then they wouldn't be counted, just like Kanye's album. Billboard wouldn't just accept fake numbers with no proof. That's not how it works.

Justin Bieber got 200M streams FW with "Purpose" on Spotify, a service 20x as big as Tidal with an album that had multiple hits that boosted his streams at that time.
Tidal said that "The Life of Pablo" got 250M streams in its first 10 days, which would put it on the same level as "Purpose", which I really doubt.

My brain tells me that there is no way that an album available to only 3M people is streamed as often as an album available to 70M people, that's why I assume that Tidal is inflating numbers.

And Billboard isn't that powerful. Bieber's team managed to not report the sales of "Journals" to Billboard, therefore Billboard was forced to not include it in their charts, because they rely on the reportings of other parties.
Billboard doesn't track numbers afaik, they make charts based on the numbers they receive.

And since they can't control Tidal, they have to accept what Tidal is reporting to them.

Because of all of this I personally am in denial with these numbers.

People are still on free trials from the ANTI premium membership sign ups. That could be why and they probably aren't counted as the 3M paid members.

sigh. how about you go read again?
justin team didn't force billboard to not chart. lol

"However, Billboard has been informed that iTunes will not be reporting sales for the set to Nielsen SoundScan, therefore it will not appear on Billboard’s charts."

everybody can do this. no report to nielsen. no sales , no chart.
this is same as kanye west tlop. there was no reported number from beginning.
