Beyoncé's 'Lemonade' Now Streaming on Apple Music After Three Years of Tidal Exclusivity

The hate is strong with many of you. MR felt it was a big enough deal because of who she is. Many people did not subscribe to Apple Music because they didn’t get her latest content. The fact that Lemonade and her latest album are now on Apple Music may help people switch from Tidal to Apple Music. If you don’t like her music, that’s good for you. Why waste your time posting? If Pink Floyd had exclusive rights with another steaming service and decided to bring their music to Apple Music, you won’t see me complaining just because I don’t listen to their music
People may not like her music, most of her stuff isn't my jam personally, but gotta respect her success and her skill for the genre. This is probably the one album I'd be into. I think All Night is a great song on Lemonade and you don't really have to be a Bey fan to like it.

How much she made off Tidal is irrelevant. It was all about pushing customers to her hubby's streaming platform.
I didn't realize her husband owns a streaming service. Honestly I'm not even sure who her husband is. Puff Daddy or something?
I had to reply to this. Beyonce is a much bigger artist than Jay Z has ever been. It's not even close. Jay Z is bolstered by her, not the other way around.
what's it like having a superior sense of musical appreciation than most people? sounds like such a cross to bear.
Content is content. Never hurts to have more of it if you're an AM subscriber whether you personally listen to it or not. Other people at least have the option to and that's never a bad thing.

Teenagers aren’t really into Beyoncé. Her demographic is generally much older. So what makes you say this
Yep. The relevance to news about Apple is about the push and pull of dealings in the music/streaming industry, not about the album/artist in the story, but so many here seem to think we really want to know about their musical taste (and funny how the loudest ones are the ones who are in a hurry to tell us they don't like that music, thinking for some reason we care). As if the site was "news about Apple plus bonus music reviews from random people". Her music doesn't do much for me (not that that matters), but even I know that "Lemonade" was an album that had considerable impact - and the album becoming available on Apple Music is a small but valid bit of news about Apple and the streaming music business.

Depends, are you as well known of an artist as she is? Was it a big deal, 3 years ago, that your album (which hit number one on Billboard) was on a new alternate service and not on Apple Music? If not, then why should MR show you any love?
This album is amazing. All the haters commenting clearly don’t understand the album.
"This is music nowadays? This isn't The Beatles, Queen or Pink Floyd!"

Yes
I watched the Metallica documentary on the Black album decades ago, and an insightful fan in it commented on the disdain the older generation for Metallica's music as such:
"Every generation will scorn the next, and their music"
Sadly, I find this to be generally true, and the hate posts here appear to bear that out somewhat.
There's room for every taste in the music industry, folks. Take it easy.

I still do, but most where made before 1990 (or even 1980)... I listened to Animals by Pink Floyd recently.
