Tidal has dubbed a newspaper article that accuses the streaming firm of fiddling the figures related to two albums where it had scored exclusives as “ridiculous” and a “smear campaign”. Although said paper has seemingly already pushed back on legal efforts to kill its investigation.
The newspaper in question is Norwegian business title Dagens Næringsliv, which has followed the evolution of the Tidal business particularly closely because, of course, the Jay-Z led streaming service grew out of a Norway-based start-up called WiMP.
