Jay Z’s TIDAL streaming service now has 1 million people, according to a tweet from the Brooklyn, New York artist. He did not specify if he means users, paid subscribers or something else.
The Roc Nation businessman also said in his tweet that there will be a celebration on October 20 to honor the achievement.
TIDAL launched March 30 as an artist-driven platform that offers hi-fi audio and exclusive content. In addition to Jay Z, Beyonce, Rihanna, Coldplay, Alicia Keys, Calvin Harris, Jack White, Madonna and Usher are among the reported equity artists-owners involved with TIDAL.
In April, CEO Andy Chen left the company. That move was followed by the departures of Zena Burns, TIDAL’s project leader who dealt with label and artist relations, and Jeff Geisler, Roc Nation’s Chief Marketing Officer.
Jay Z’s TIDAL tweet is as follows:

nice. smart. now can we get a hard old school album from ya jig?
Yo ma mans.. Thanks for the love! You won’t get an album in a while ‘cos the game flooded with shit. “niggas want my old shit.. Get my old album”.. No disrespect buh I will when Tidal hits 10million subscribers. #Isshyourboi
Damn he has a looooooong way to go to compete with apple,spotify and Google play..any love Jay z but tidal has had so many L’s that 1 million just seems like another L. He is gonna need a lot more users like over 10 million to pay artist for exclusives and special events.
Right, can’t count jay out though, people stillll buying rocawear, he may have something in a couple years
@ jo88 lil stan talkin bout taking a l then we must talk bout snitchy cent, dude has a big l over his head rite now
That tweet doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.
yo yo its the kid snitchy cent, fuck you jay z you and diddy may run new york, but ive gone platnum shineing shoes, yeah shoe shine curly is back
Another cunt prolly high off xcessive molly
I wonder how many of those millions are family & friends of the artists on Tidal that have free or paid for memberships…if you think about it extended family, friends, entourage of the 20 or so exclusive Tidal backing artists can make quite a dent on that 1M…and really 1M users is not that much Windows Phones have more and they hitting L’s left and right.
@AG stfu and count your own broke ass pockets, Tidal was launched and is thriving, stop hating and figure out a plan to get out yo mom’s basement.
What is it with idiots like you on the internet who automatically go to the “get out your mom’s basement” stereotype/ad hominem? whether or not thats true, it has nothing to do with whether or not AG’s argument has any merit. If you have an actual argument, make one and address what he said and stick with that. SMFH @ internet niggas who employ dumb played-out ad hominem attacks that assume the person is either a basement dweller living with moms, broke, unemployed or is a virgin.
Nas stans still hating on the king. Everything Hov does turns into a big W for him. Everything Nas does is a big epic fail. Watch Nas’ next album go 2x sawdust, and Hov will go platinum, again.
The Camel ethered himself this time with Tidal.
yes Shawn carter, if it’s unreal it does not exist. And now we know why it only had a million subscribers.
sry dude. Without Drake or Kendrick Lamar, who the hell cares.
OVO Fest will forever be bigger than washed up Carters stupid tidal fest.
NOT!!
I pirated music for over decade. Now that I’m a college graduate with a stable career as an Civil Engineer, I don’t mind paying to stream music. Big Ups to Jay-Z and all his partners. We need more black own distributions in the entertainment industry. Black First!
100% real….. same here buddy… I used to buy Cd’s like crazy, then I just stopped and joined the world of pirating, purchased one or two Cd’s every few years. How could I possibly complain with artists wanting to be paid for their work. I sure as fuck don’t work for free. I’ve been enjoying Tidal since day 1.
I’ve pirated for years and Jay Z’s wack ass service won’t stop it. Y’all idiots for paying. It will fail
Why you ain’t sign me to Tidal? And why ain’t J Cole on the bill?
DX how are you naming everybody but not PRINCE!!!! PRINCE will be without a doubtm the biggest act that day. FAIL!
