TIDAL has quite a few artist owners, but it would be incorrect to think TIDAL is more pop oriented. When I last trialled Qobuz it had a much smaller catalogue than TIDAL with a significant percentage of my TIDAL favourites unavailable in Qobuz. This was predominantly folk, Americana and singer/ songwriter titles.
I took the TIDAL deal in October 2019 so won’t be jumping ship anytime soon unless the Qobuz price reduction is permanent.
BTW, here’s a list of TIDAL’s artist owners:
- Alicia Keys
- Arcade Fire’s Win Butler and Regine Chassagne
- Beyoncé
- Calvin Harris
- Coldplay’s Chris Martin
- Daft Punk
- Damian Marley
- deadmau5
- Indochine
- J. Cole
- Jack White
- Jason Aldean
- Shawn “Jay Z” Carter
- Kanye West
- Lil Wayne
- Madonna
- Nicki Minaj
- Rihanna
- T.I.
- Usher
