Apple may have a number of carrots with which to lure users to its forthcoming streaming service, but the biggest-selling album of the past two years isn’t one of them.
Taylor Swift’s 1989, which has not been released to any streaming services, will not be available at launch on Apple Music, either, representatives for both Swift’s label Big Machine Records and Apple confirm to BuzzFeed News. Only Swift’s back catalog, which is currently available on many streaming services that require users to pay for a subscription — including Rdio and Tidal — will be found on Apple Music, the Big Machine rep said.
Is 1989 only on TIDAL / Google Music because no one uses them?
It's still selling very consistently. You can scoff that she won't put it up for streaming but no one else right now is selling like her. The lack of streaming is helping it, in my opinion. It will be up there eventually.
Great
i think she is waiting to see how it works, she probably desn't want to be involved in a mess like TIDAL was
By the time she releases her next album, streaming will be bigger, so I can see her going with Apple, if their streaming service works really well
