Its central accusation: ?Beyonc??s and Kanye West?s listener numbers on TIDAL have been manipulated to the tune of several hundred million false plays? which has generated massive royalty payouts at the expense of other artists.?

The newspaper?s investigation was ignited by its receipt of an illicit hard drive, which it says ?contains ?billions of rows of [internal TIDAL data]: times and song titles, user IDs and country codes?.

The veracity of the data on this hard drive has been strongly challenged by TIDAL, but according to DN, the numbers match exactlywith information received by record labels during the dates in question.

To set the scene, DN interviews a series of TIDAL subscribers, presenting them with logs of their individual play-counts of both Beyonc??s Lemonade and Kanye West?s The Life Of Pablo.

One of these subscribers, Copenhagen-based composer Halfdan Nielsen, is informed he supposedly listened to songs from Lemonade on more than 50 occasions. He denies it, calling the figures ?nonsense?.

DN also tracks down a law student in Washington D.C ? Tiare Faatea ? who, according to the data, played tracks from Beyonc??s Lemonade 180 times within 24 hours.

Faatea is perplexed. ?No, that can?t be right,? she says.

Another TIDAL subscriber, music critic Geir Rakvaag, supposedly played tracks from Kanye West?s The Life Of Pablo 96 times in a single day ? with 54 plays in the middle of the night.

?It?s physically impossible,? he says.

The list goes on.

[Opposites Attract.]

Atp they just trying to tear down this black business because Tidal?s numbers didn?t even do nothing substantial for either album.

Sidenote I?m more than sure this same mess is happening on Spotify with payola to manipulate streaming numbers to effect the charts.

This isn't that much of a surprise and it's not that big of an issue.

Click fraud is what's really screwing a lot of these streaming sites.
