Good, Bey didn't but Self-Titled up either. I think we need a few other major artists to take their music of Spotify alongside Taylor (Beyoncé, Rihanna, Eminem, Drake, Katy, Gaga) because Spotify and other streaming is hurting the industry too much

Oh please. Yes she worked hard on it and I admire her work ethic. But she makes music for the consumers, and that doesn't mean she should make it harder for people to have access to it.

Yeah of course, the money for her team, all the people who helped her making this masterpiece, you think Nicki Minaj can produce her own beat by herself? you think Nicki minaj can do everything by herself? Nicki Miinaj can get money for shaking booty in a dark room for 30 minutes, but what about her team? all her reps that help her created and produced a music and album?

Artist can get rich with commercial deals etc, but what about the writers? the label?
You'd think you want to see nicki minaj recorded her song in the bathroom with android phone and put it up on spotify? Nicki Minaj needs her team and her label to even produced that trash song like anaconda.

get my point? or are you still lost?

Spotify ceasing to exist would hurt the industry monumentally. Do you really think people will pay a premium for albums if they can't stream music?

Billboard (via a Spotify source) reveals that Taylor's catalog was removed in an attempt to increase the worth of the Big Machine label which is currently on the market:

"This came as a complete surprise. Big Machine is in the process of selling itself, and that can't be forgotten here. [They're looking to] increase the multiple for the sale of that company. Scott Borchetta is a very old-school thinker. He's wrong."

Streaming services aren't just competing against iTunes, they are competing against Radio and compared to Radio there rates are so much better.

I completely understand her doing this and reference Thom Yorke's article on streaming as to why.
