didn't 25 outsell lemonade in 2016 despite being released last year? adele's singles were bigger too
Yes and no.
25 sold more than Lemonade this year.
Beyonce sold 4M+ singles this year, I doubt Send My Love sold more than 4M this year.
And tour, acclaim, awards are on Bey's side.
Are we talking stats i'd say it's pretty equal between Bey, Adele and Rih.
Bey having the bigger tour gross but Adele also has had 100% sellouts.
Adele #1 in album sales both WW and US. Bey most track/single sales, Rih biggest hits but Adele having huge success also in january with Hello plus a top 15 and top 10 single.
Actually come to think of it, Bey and Adele share #1 and Rih coming in slightly behind
