hmm interesting, I was told lemonade was dominating, but as its era is over and Anti is still performing well, it will surpass it easy soon, due to the small gap
I guess talent does win in the end

It's already game over if you combine multi-platinum singles FourFiveSeconds and/or Bitch Better Have My Money. And Anti is stomping on Lemonade on the Billboard 200 despite being like 3 months older.
That's the difference between relying on gimmicks and letting the music speak for itself.

Can a Rihanna Stan be a dear and point to where Anti is above Lemonade the Year-End list?

The key word here is IF
In any alternate reality, anything could happen. Heck, I could be Frank Ocean's husband.

I need the Top Artist chart too. We all know that Rihanna slayed but we were told by some of the specimens here that she would curbstomp Bey thanks to strihming, did something happen ?
Already starting the "gimmick" corny nonsense even after Billboard clocked their asses  , whew Navy

I guess a gimmick "relationship" can only do so much...

And in this instance, it wasn't the Hive who mentioned ANTI or Rih, but as soon as their lil wigs get tugged they will play victim. Anyway, congrats to Bey and her non-hits for slaying.

Lemonade is Tidal-exclusive and still outsold Anti.
And i believe the Navys always brag about how streaming is essential to chart success nowsaday

I'm trying to find the drag, because as they have reminded us the whole year, Bey had not hits. So, it's truly amazing that she sold on par as someone who had multiple hits. Some people really need to learn when to pull their punches. Bey gave them slight lead way. They should be thanking her.

Lets not flat out lie now, its perfectly easy to buy or stream the album on itunes or with a free trial
And if we are going to twist and play the 'limitation' card, then we can add those 1.4million copies of ANTI that were downloaded to the table  either way, ANTI era as a whole was bigger (and is still on-going), there is no ignoring that at this point.

I've seen him say Bey can't sell songs but she sold around the same as Rihanna so I guess she can't sell either.
Rihanna had pop support so she should be selling more than Bey.
