Apple Thinks Exclusive Content Will Make Their Streaming Service Succeed

TIDAL’s exclusives don’t seem to be working perfectly.

Madonna’s “TIDAL exclusive” behind-the-scenes video keeps getting re-uploaded to YouTube. On the other hand, I wasn’t able to find a non-muted YouTube video of Rihanna’s exclusive “American Oxygen” video.<!–/*

According to Bloomberg, Apple has asked Florence and the Machine and over a dozen other artists for exclusives. They’ve also asked Taylor Swift and other artists about partnerships.

Apple’s new streaming service will cost $9.99 a month for individuals and $14.99 a month for families.
