Jay-Z bought Tidal for $56 million in March and relaunched it with the support of fellow musicians like West, Beyonce Knowles, Madonna, Alicia Keys, Daft Punk, Nicki Minaj, Usher and Rihanna among others. Rihanna and Bey later premiered their new videos exclusively on the service.
Tidal, however, has never been a huge hit. In fact, it's been highly criticized as it requires users to pay $10 a month for digital audio-quality or $20 a month for CD-quality sound. The Tidal app briefly cracked the U.S. iPhone top 20 download chart earlier this month before getting kicked out of the top 700, while competitors Pandora and Spotify reached the list's top 5.
