Qobuz

Qobuz is a music streaming and download service that specializes in high-resolution audio. It was founded in 2007 in France and has since expanded its services to several countries worldwide. Qobuz distinguishes itself from other streaming platforms by offering a large catalog of CD-quality and high-resolution audio tracks, often in formats like FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) and WAV, which provide better sound quality compared to the compressed formats used by many other streaming services.

In addition to its emphasis on audio quality, Qobuz also provides editorial content such as reviews, articles, and playlists curated by music experts. It caters to audiophiles and music enthusiasts who prioritize sound fidelity and appreciate a curated music experience.

As of March 2021, Billboard includes Qobuz's US streaming data into its charts.
Digital Single Track purchasing is available. If there are 2 digital versions available (CD version &/or high-resolution), purchase 1 per transaction using different payment methods. Do NOT purchase both versions in the same transaction.

Tidal

Tidal is another music streaming service that stands out for its emphasis on high-fidelity audio quality. It was launched in 2014 by Aspiro, a Norwegian company, and later acquired by rapper and businessman Jay-Z. Tidal offers a large catalog of music tracks, albums, and videos, similar to other streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, but with a particular focus on providing lossless audio quality.

TIDAL NO LONGER HAS THE OPTION TO PURCHASE SONGS OR ALBUMS, IT IS STRICKLY A PAID STREAMING SERVICE NOW. IT IS STILL CONSIDERED A PAID STREAMING PLATFORM, SO STREAMS DO COUNT TOWARDS BILLBOARD, BUT AS OF OCTOBER 2022, YOU CAN NO LONGER PURCHASE OR DOWNLOAD FROM THE PLATFORM.

Do NOT sign up for Tidal through the Apple App Store. If you want to subscribe to the service, make sure you do so on the Tidal website and not directly on the iOS app. Tidal passes on Apple’s 30 percent App Store fee, meaning you will pay extra if you sign up on Tidal’s iOS app on your iPhone or iPad. Sign up at Tidal.com, then download the app and log into your account.

To sign up for a TIDAL account, you can use your email address, Google account, or Facebook.
Go to TIDAL.com and select Start Free Trial. Only new users can access a free trial.
