TIDAL has released the total number of streams for Kanye West latest album “The Life of Pablo.”
Ye released the album exclusively on TIDAL for which is he a co-owner. He initially blocked the total streams which prevented Nielsen Music from getting the records, but the music streaming company has now released those numbers showing the Pablo was streamed 250 million times in just 10 days, Billboard reported.
TIDAL will be celebrating it’s 1-year anniversary on March 30. The company has released its subscription statistics saying that they currently have 1.35 million subscribers on its hi-fidelity, lossless audio/video service which cost $19.99 per month. That is 45 percent of their total subscription.
