You need to deal with the fact Lemonade outsold Views, cupcake. 

"Deal with it" as in I would have a problem with it? In case u have not noticed Im a huge Bey fan 

[Calypso]

what the hell is wrong with some of ya'll...yes it's for 2016 releases only! 

 

Bey was #2 WW for 2016 (only behind Adele). Lemonade has had better longevity and thus now is a higher selling album (from 2016) than views. 

 

not too difficult.

 

anyway!! slay Bey!

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.

Lemonade still sold more than views worldwide in 2016 so it doesn't really matter 

[Drake Lindo]

sales only in 2017 

[Pepo]

Finally 

[Dreajae]

That's great for an album selling at $17.99

 

Im ready for steady streaming equivalents though. 

[Beyonce_runthis]

2016 end of the year list.

25 - 4,668,000

lemonade - 2,674,000

I said sales, not SPS. They add SPS now. 

Views is 3 million SPS in the US alone, those figures aren't SPS.

They only started adding SPS a few months ago. They didn't add the SPS total from release.

It did 4.14M SPS in 2016 here (that was in the Nielsen year-end report). But I have no idea what it's at WW.

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.

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.

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

 

 

The meltdown  It outsold Views WW ages ago

STILL the biggest selling album of 2016 in the United States of America no matter how you put it  

 

Congratulations KING B

right? why would 25 being cut at 2016 and lemonade continuing  

[lil-whateva]

Better sales, more acclaim more impact and was clearly the better album. 

 

Views was trash and didnt deserve a fraction of the sales it had.
