Greedy multi millionaire pop stars want even more of our money!
So they've launched their own streaming music service today to rival Spotify , because they think they're n ot creaming enough money off us. How sickening and u nbeleivable is that? Greed is alive and well ion the pop music industry !
Excuse me Madonna and Jay Z - some o f us have to go to food banks in case you didn't know ! We don't all own yachts and mansions ! |

Whilst I kind of agree that it just screams greed, they haven't 'launched their own streaming music service' at all. Have you actually read the stories

I agree with the original poster. These pop stars get enough money as it is. It is just pure greed on their half.

Also, its $20 in the US AND £20 in the UK. It should be about £14 for us. |

I am sorry, but a REAL artist is always an established one. Cream always rises to the top as they say!
No need to hate on successful individuals. I think Tidal is a great option that offers a HIGH quality output. |

All I know is they want a lot more money off us hard pressed consumers, when we're all having to cope with the minimum wage and austerity. It's just taking the pi** !

I'd rather the artists get paid for their work, not faceless companies who have no link to them or their record labels.

![]() I pay a subscription to spotify because I want better quality and no adverts and complete freedom across multiple platforms that's my choice. Will I switch to tidal yes most probably because I would rather the artists relieve a fair amount for the work they do and not the pittance spotify, you tube pay out. Before Internet you paid £10 for 1 cd for a £10 subscription you get an entire music library. Why do some people expect to get things for nothing the entire time and think everyone is trying to rip them off. When the only ones ripping off are the ones stealing music and not paying for it. Whilst the artists involved may have a lot of money they earned it. No one is forced to ever buy music. It's a choice if you want it you should pay for it why do you think these artists should work hard on creating music and paying out a lot of money for studios etc so some scrounges can think it's there right to listen to it for free. |

I really can't understand all the fuss.
Anything to which you want to listen, is likely to be available on YouTube. Much of it added by the management of these artists. |

Well maybe you should work harder and spend less time complaining then you might get a promotion and maybe climb the ladder to success just as most these artists have. Your the one taking the pi**! .
Your austerity doesn't mean you don't have Internet then! When they changed from vinyl to CD, the production costs fell dramatically. So what did they do? They made CDs far more expensive than vinyl. Doh! |

Can't tell if you're joking or not. I doubt there was a single real artist on that stage.

You really must be joking with this post. No one is being forced to pay anything. People have choices if you want it pay for it if not use another service. This has nothing to do with ripping people off but is another service which offers a far superior sound. If you have an expensive system you want the best quality sound. If you have a cheap speaker you will just be as happy with a lower quality steaming service.

I normally buy all my songs from iTunes.....I have given up on downloading music illegally due to poor quality, PC viruses etc... Is it better to use a streaming service like Spotify or Tidal than it is to buy the actual album from iTunes....what is the difference (I know this sounds like a stupid question!) |

I also don't get this attitude that because the people who are shareholders are millionaires, it gives them any less right to be paid for the work they put out? the fact that you're paying a maximum of £20 a month for lossless quality audio, and millions of tracks REALLY doesn't seem like a big deal - considering that you will pay up to £20 for two new CDs. If I was a business man, reached a goal of earning say £3m, I wouldn't turn round and say "oh I'll work for free now, I have enough money". People are right that we live in an age where too much is expected for no money at all. I honestly don't see the problem with it, it's an option and it's not something that is suddenly going to replace Spotify, iTunes or even CDs. If you're happy with a certain way of listening to music, then stick with that and stop moaning about a new service that you're probably not even going to use. |

They already earn up to 70m a year? These arent struggling artists. Madonna's tour made about £340m (not the exact amount but it made A LOT)

Is it better to use a streaming service like Spotify or Tidal than it is to buy the actual album from iTunes....what is the difference (I know this sounds like a stupid question!) However this article cites an artist who made only $300 from Spotify in six months but made $45,000 from iTunes over the same period. So for some artists iTunes is clearly a better option. |
