And I won't argue that Beyonce isn't bigger overall or even bigger this year (though her music is frontloaded and Rih will surpass her after releasing three more singles this year), but Rih is the third biggest artist this decade.

-Formation is not the lead single, it was never released for purchase until after the album was out. It is the definition of a buzz single which was used to launch a tour, and which is in fact not even in the Lemonade film until after the credits, as a bonus.
-LEMONADE has 1 music video not 12. It's just an hour long.
-12 singles were not sent to radio, 3 were.
-Prior to the film premiere on HBO, no one knew what LEMONADE was, no one knew for sure if an album was coming or when, it was never stated, nor discussed.
As far as comparing it to Anti, that is something I had not done, so I'm confused as to why you're bringing that up. But let's not forget the year long buildup for the album, the three singles, videos and performances for singles that were implied to be on the new album and the weekly promotion it got by partnering with Samsung.
The OP changed the damn question tho
