I guess streaming really is the future.  

[iHype.]

You're combining its 2016 and 2017 sales and using them as receipts of 2016 sales

 

2016 sales ended in 2016, it's the third best selling album of 2016.  

[Shelter]

Great that it passed Drake overall in sales. Didn't he debut with over 800k

Would you prefer me to put it outsold Views? 

[Agenor]

This is an "alternative fact". Your thread should be called: "Lemonade is the best selling album released in 2016".

Exactly.

 

By that logic, we can EASILY say that rihanna sold the most digital singles of any 2016 release when we combine her 2016/2017 sales.

I would prefer you to put something that makes sense, not adding March 2017 sales to 2016.

OT: Congrats. Next up it needs to pass Views almost 3 million SPS difference in order to become the top album of 2016.

Yup. Atrl had a field day too so many Views vs Lemonade threads and bandwagoning...

+ Drake's sales are really impressive considering he also has like 3 billion streams

[QueenBeyoncé]

So Lemons overtook Views in the long run but ATRL was sure it wouldn't happen. & did it without several discounts.

All it's saying is that of all the albums that were released in 2016, Lemonade has sold the most.

Pretty simple.

On it's way to 1.7M pure sales in this climate and at $18?! Bey always wins.

That's what's always done, though? Best selling album of (year) includes the sales for that album the year it came out and all other years

He edited the title after everyone pointed out he was wrong. It originally said "LEMONADE second best selling album of 2016". Pretty simple
