As part of a deal worth $30m, Samsung would give away 1m albums while Tidal would stream the album on Thursday, 1/28. But then the album leaked, when Tidal itself made ANTI available to purchase, even though only for a few minutes. This resulted in less than 500 units being sold—not enough for the album to chart on its own, but when combined with track sales and streams, it landed ANTI in an inauspicious position just outside the Top 25.
In any case, the reality is a less than stellar chart debut for one of the world’s biggest musical brands—delighting the Beyoncé-obsessed BeyHive fan site, of course.
