Wie\u00a0<\/em>is this possible, Kanye?<\/p>\n Up until last week, the only place to download\u00a0Kanye’s lastest offering, Das Leben von Pablo<\/em>,\u00a0was his own website. Alternatively, you could have streamed the album\u00a0on Tidal.<\/p>\n Kanye\u00a0is always at\u00a0the center of controversy. It seems like that strategy is beginning to pay off well!<\/p>\n Based on streaming activity, the latest projections place\u00a0Das Leben von Pablo\u00a0<\/em>at the top of the charts.<\/p>\n Tidal reported that Das Leben von Pablo<\/em>\u00a0was\u00a0streamed over 250 million times in 10 days.\u00a0Kanye\u00a0proclaimed that the\u00a0album would “never be available on Apple Music or any other streaming service”. This action\u00a0sent droves of people to sign up with Tidal.<\/p>\n Of course, there were pundits and Kanye’s biggest critics couldn’t wait to pounce once they saw that\u00a0Kanye\u2019s album didn\u2019t even chart initially. This was because Tidal did\u00a0not immediately communicate streaming figures to Nielsen Music.<\/p>\n Kanye eventually “changed his mind” and made the album available on Apple Music and Spotify. Then, to add to that strategy, he “updated” almost every song on the album. Genius.<\/p>\n That “genius” may have just achieved\u00a0Kanye\u00a0the first No. 1 album fueled by streaming numbers instead of actual sales.<\/p>\n Bilder:<\/em> mastmedia.plu.edu, billboard.com<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
