Which leaves the question: How long will Tidal be the only (legal) place fans will be able to find Beyonce's Lemonade? Sources close to the situation tell Billboard that Tidal will have the streaming exclusive "in perpetuity," suggesting that the album will never be available to stream via Tidal's biggest competitors, Spotify and Apple Music.
But it's likely that the digital retail release of Lemonade will more closely follow the Rihanna rollout -- becoming available for sale widely in the coming days -- rather than West's, which is still only available to purchase via Tidal or West's own website.
