After the album 4:44 streamed exclusively on Tidal for a week, Jay-Z has brought his newest title to other streaming platforms including Apple Music, Amazon Prime Music, and Google Play, leaving out Spotify.
Jay Z’s decision to leave his album off of the leader in music streaming services doesn’t come as a shock. In April, he pulled all of his albums from Spotify leaving none of his work behind. The musician is part owner of Tidal and recruited other high-profile artists to join his efforts in allowing artists to maintain more control over their music and a higher share of revenue.

Likewise, other artists including Taylor Swift and Adele have chosen to leave their work off of Spotify due to the company’s practice of allowing paying and non-paying customers to access music.
Earlier this year, Sprint invested $200 million in Tidal, valuing the company at $600 million, and purchased a million copies of 4:44 in bulk, which sent the album into platinum status within six days of the release. Sprint also offered customers a six-month free trial of Tidal and allowed customers to download the album for free.
