Did TIDAL Lie About The Life of Pablo Streaming Numbers?


Last week Jay Z and TIDAL celebrated their one year anniversary boasting 3 million paying subscribers and that Kanye West's new album The Life of Pablo had racked up a mind blowing 250 million streams in just six weeks [click here if you missed that].

Did TIDAL greatly exaggerate the number of times TLOP has been streamed...?

Hits Daily Double seems to think so.
“We took off our shoes and socks so we could count on both fingers and toes and our rough calculation is that 3m goes into 250m about 80 times. Which means that every single one of Tidal’s paid subscribers have played Pablo in its entirety eight times a day every day for 10 days."
