TIDAL Fires Execs Over Data Reporting Drama


Jay Z's music streaming service TIDAL fires its Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer in a dispute over streaming data reporting...

From The Verge
Tidal has let go of its CFO Chris Hart and COO Nils Juell, the company confirmed to The Verge. The news of their terminations was originally reported by the Swedish news site Breakit and Norwegian newspaper Dagens Næringsliv. Breakit reports that Hart was let go after a dispute about how Tidal shares its streaming data.
If Hart was let go over a streaming-data dispute, it wouldn't be too shocking. Tidal has not shared streaming data with Nielsen Music on a couple of its recent exclusive releases, including Beyonce’s new single "Formation" which isn’t present on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, and Kanye West's latest album, The Life of Pablo — which failed to crack the Top 20 on the Billboard 200 chart.
