Music industry newsletter claims Universal Music Group will be first major label to ban practice of artists offering exclusives to services such as Tidal and Apple
Just two days after Frank Ocean’s Blonde, one of the biggest releases of the year, was released on Apple’s iTunes, Lucian Grainge, CEO of Universal Music Group and widely regarded as the most powerful executive in the music industry, has reportedly ordered the company’s labels to stop the practice of making “exclusive” distribution deals with streaming services.
Good, everyone wants to be exclusive on different platforms, some Tidal, some AM, etc, if people aren't buying CDs, they're not going to pay $10 monthly for Spotify, AM, Tidal, and more, that alone is $30 bucks, a month going to something that's not a necessary bill
hope more artists get out of these deals and release the music the way THEY want to and collect their coins the way THEY want to , so stupid tryna regulate everything down to such dumb ass details
