Drake's 'Views' Album Target: A Test of Exclusivity in Music Streaming

The music streaming landscape is undergoing a significant shift with the rise of exclusivity clauses between popular artists and streaming services. Apple and Tidal, two major players in the industry, are betting big on this strategy to attract customers away from Spotify and Pandora.

One of the most anticipated albums of the year, Drake's 'Views' will be available exclusively on Apple Music starting Friday, with a global streaming debut on Apple's Beat 1 radio at 7 p.m. The album is set to drop after a string of successful singles, including 'If You're Reading This It's Too Late,' which was released last year.

The exclusivity deal between Drake and Apple marks a significant shift in the music industry. With popular artists like Taylor Swift and Adele already aligned with Apple, and Tidal boasting a lineup that includes Jay Z, Rihanna, Kanye West, and Beyonce, it's clear that exclusivity is the name of the game in music streaming.

But what does this mean for fans? Well, they'll have to wait until the album drops on Apple Music if they want to stream 'Views' without resorting to other methods. However, the album will be available for download on iTunes later this week.

As fans eagerly anticipate the release of 'Views,' they've already begun sharing memes and speculation about the track listing and album art online. But one thing is certain - Drake's highly anticipated album is set to make a big impact in the music world.
