Kanye West Tidal streams won't count towards Billboard chart

Billboard has confirmed that streams of Kanye West's new album won't count towards their chart.

The rapper recently released his latest effort 'The Life of Pablo' on the streaming service.

Confusion remains about whether the record will be put on sale elsewhere.

Billboard has said in a statement, however, that Tidal streams won't contribute to its albums chart because of its exclusivity.

Sales management company Nielsen Music have not received any data from the platform.

The statement added: "Billboard has been informed that Tidal is not currently reporting streams for tracks on Kanye’s album to Nielsen Music."

The streams will also not count towards the UK albums chart.
