Boys Don't Cry

Frank Ocean released his new album Blonde exclusively on Apple Music for 3 weeks and now he's paying the price -- in streams. He followed in the footsteps of R&B poster boy Drake striking up a deal with Apple. Now Spotify is forced to deny burying his album in the Chitlin' Circuit section of the app.

Digital Music News -- If you know what you're looking for, you can find this album. But Spotify definitely isn’t helping people find Blonde. Despite being one of the hottest new arrivals on the platform over the weekend, a quick check of the Spotify desktop app found Blonde completely absent from an extensive list of new releases."

Not everyone can be Drake.

I'm sure that his deal with Apple was lucrative. Ocean probably just decided to stream Blonde on Spotify for his die hard fans that are Android users.
