Jay-Z’s subscription music streaming service Tidal is being criminally investigated in Norway over allegations that it intentionally inflated listening numbers.
From Variety:
Norway’s authority for investigation of economic and environmental crimes (Økokrim) has launched an investigation into claims that Tidal has falsified streaming numbers, the Norwegian publication Dagens Næringsliv (via Music Business Worldwide) reported this morning. Last year, the paper, which has aggressively investigated Tidal, accused the company of intentionally falsifying streaming numbers for Beyonce’s “Lemonade” and Kanye West’s Life of Pablo.
