Tidal is now selling Prince’s new album on CD

Music streaming service is Tidal now selling CDs of Prince's new album

And it’s not cheap.

Following its exclusive release of Prince’s new album, Tidal — a music streaming service — is now selling CD copies for $25. Aside from going against the basic definition of a music streaming platform, the move seems especially bizarre when digital copies are being offered for less than half that price. Imagine if Netflix started selling VHS copies of Avengers: Age Of Ultron for more than it costs to use the service for a month. We’ve probably all been a little too hard on Tidal, but they’re just asking for it here.

Prince’s HITNRUN is out now. Buy the CD here. For $25.
