You're gonna have to BUY!
QuoteRepresentatives for pop star Taylor Swift told streaming-music partners that her new album won?t be available through their services during its first week of sales, people familiar with the matter said.
The services are still negotiating with Swift?s team to determine when ?Reputation? will be made available, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private talks. The album will be on sale in retail outlets as well as online stores like iTunes starting Nov. 10. A Swift spokeswoman didn?t immediately respond to requests for comment.
For most of the music industry, streaming is the future, helping propel global sales to 5.9 percent growth last year. But Swift and a handful of other high-profile acts gunning for the top spot on the charts still find sales of physical and digital records more lucrative. Beyonce only made her latest album, ?Lemonade,? available on one streaming provider, Tidal, which is co-owned by her husband Jay-Z. Adele shunned streaming for months after the release of ?25? in 2015.
It?s still possible Swift changes her mind at the last minute, but she has been one of the most vocal critics of streaming, saying in a column for the Wall Street Journal that the services devalue music. Spotify, the largest of the streaming providers, offers much of its catalog for free, supported by advertising. Paying subscribers get the full library, including new releases artists have chosen not to offer to everyone. Apple Music, the second-biggest, doesn?t have a free version.

Girl what?
Drake's "Views" got like 240M streams first week which was the highest first week for streams in history and that only translated to about 400k from streams.
There's no way she would've done 1M first week from streams alone, especially considering all 4 tracks she's released are flopping on Spotify.

1. Fuck Drake
2. Taylor is more powerful than him, so it's definitely possible
Sis could've possibly had the biggest album opening in HISTORY with streams...
oh well...
when you're so powerful and streaming is running the world
but you don't give a damn. lolz
Can't wait for this era to come and go.
I'm tired of the think pieces dragging her and the negative press more than I am these lackluster songs she releases every week.

Taylor is CERTAINLY not more powerful than Drake when it comes to streaming, what the fuck are you talking about?
All of Taylor's songs are flopping on Spotify.
Today's Spotify US update:
#37 - Call It What You Want
#70 - Look What You Made Me Do
#78 - Gorgeous
#93 - Ready For It?
Her second single is about to fall out of the Spotify Top 100.
This rude awakening she?s about to get
Ffggggvgvg
She better get them streams
I read yesterday that this bitch is at 400k in presales alone, so I can see why she doesn't give a fck about streams

That's because no one wants to buy Drake's albums, they'd rather stream it
people actually DO want to but Taylor's seeing as all her recent albums debuted with over 1 million
you are foolish if you think Taylor wouldnt outsell Drake's numbers 1st week in streams.

1 million.
And with it not being available to stream 1st week
she has 1 million on lock because it forces the gorls to buy
she successfully secured the BAG!
Oh no. This is devastating.

You know what
I really can't @ her being perched on iTunes at #1 since the album went up for preorders in SEPTEMBER!
BITCH IS SO POWERFUL!!! It did not fall to below #1 once
even with all the big names and artists that have released albums since she put her's up
