Tidal Denies Fabricating Streaming Figures For Beyoncé And Kanye West

A representative for Tidal has hit back at claims that the streaming service fabricated figures relating to releases from Beyoncé and Kanye West.

Earlier this week, Tidal was the subject of a report by the Norwegian newspaper Dagens Næringsliv which — according to Music Business Worldwide — accused the service of deliberately inflating listening figures for Beyoncé's "Lemonade" and Kanye's "The Life Of Pablo", both of which were Tidal exclusives at the time of their release.
