One of the best ways for music streaming services looking to bring in more subscribers is to nab exclusive releases from some of the biggest artists in the industry. That’s precisely what Tidal has been doing and it’s believed to be one of the reasons why Apple might consider acquiring it. For now, it has managed to acquire Britney Spears’ new album as an exclusive. The singer herself confirmed that her first album in three years is going to be exclusive to Apple Music.
Britney Spears has a lot of fans and they have been waiting for a very long time for her to release a new album. The only way they will be able to hear it, at least initially, is on Apple Music. This means if they don’t already subscribe to the service they will because they would want to check out Spears’ latest work as soon as possible.
She confirmed on Twitter that her first album in three years – titled Glory – is going to be released as an Apple Music exclusive. Fans should mark August 26th on their calendars as that’s when the album will drop on Apple Music.
It’s unclear at this point in time for how long Glory is going to be an Apple Music exclusive. It won’t be surprising if the album eventually makes it way to other streaming services like Spotify, Tidal, and Google Play Music.
#Glory. My new album & the beginning of a new era. Available 8/26 on @AppleMusic. Pre-order tonight at midnight ET. pic.twitter.com/pkZZkC2QLR
