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".

That's still a less well worded way of saying that that of 2016 albums, Lemonade sold the most.

It's kind of shocking that ST, the younger album by 5 years (and the overall less selling album) has spent 19 weeks longer on the Billboard 200 than IASF.

omg i hope so!

 

Imagine there are other tracks recorded for the Lemonade film that she ultimately cut?! Like fully formed videos too?! Maybe not since it's so concise and the story already fits, but then maybe that's why she cut others.

 

I'm here for another Formation style bop, something that goes with the theme but doesn't try to add much to the story, but not as separated as 7/11 was for ST.

I'm hoping for Runnin (the original ballad version that she recorded before Naughty Boy came on board), the song she worked on with Clean Bandit, and (*fingers crossed but this is a long shot), the Ivy Park Melo-X instrumental.  That would add a nice ballad, something hopefully summery that could play on Rhythmic/Pop Radio and, and finally a summer urban single. All bases covered.
