Kanye West’s ‘The Life of Pablo’ Is No Longer a Tidal Exclusive

April 01, 2016

After a series of delays, name changes, and interesting tweets from Kanye West, the seventh album from the hip hop star has finally become available on all of the major streaming platforms. Previously The Life of Pablo was exclusively released on Tidal, the Jay Z owned streaming service. West even tweeted that his album would be forever a Tidal exclusive:
After six weeks of streaming only on Tidal and reaching 250,000,000 streams in the first ten days of its release, the album has finally become available on Spotify, Apple Music, and Google Play. It’s interesting that West has made this decision, one that will benefit Tidal’s competitors by removing the exclusivity factor. While the album is on all the major streaming services, Kanye West still has kept his promise that it will “never be for sale.” It has yet to become available on iTunes. However, according to Billboard, The Life of Pablo may be remastered and finally available for sale someday very soon.
