Definitely. 25 was just numbers lets be real.
Lemonade is a cultural phenomenon. It's big in real world, not just charts and radio. I know this will get laughed at, but it's true. Beyonce in last 3 eras is an absolute goddess in terms of impact and success. The charts simply fail to reflect that because her songs are not your standard radio fodder. And no, the same doesn't apply to all your flop faves. Only very select few.

Lemonade was definitely culturally relevant, especially during its release. Both may feel around the same level of relevance, which honestly is a noteworthy achievement for Lemonade considering it has less sales than 25.
Yes. Even though 25 pulled in immense numbers that Lemonade will never pull, sales aren't everything, thats why when you think in retrospect what felt bigger 1989 or 25, 1989 comes to mind, because it dominated in terms of having consistent relevancy. Adele practically just put her album out and went back into hibernation. Beyonce's Lemonade era has brought her not only memorable moments, but also pulled in universal praise, which 25 lacked.
No, I mean you want people to own an album, right? Lemonade is great and influential for sure, but it's not for the masses at all. 25 is for the masses.
Lol at people saying 25 didn't feel as big as its chart success was
The Hello era was truly monstrous, and Lemonade or no Beyonce era can offset it no what how much longevity they had. Although, I don't believe the Lemonade era even has longevity either. 25 and Lemonade have similar trajectories, except 25 is way above every time.

"Just numbers"
Each one of these numbers represents all the millions of people who rushed to buy 25 within moments of its release (more in the first 24 hours than have ever purchased Lemonade). Now that's what I call a "phenomenon."
The delusion some members have is just
I wont even bother bringing in the reciepts.... to "defend" 25 cause it doesn't need to in the real world.
Lets just say that on atrl any album ever release fekt higher than 25, had mire impact, is mire remember we etc cause the same threads every month are tiring
The entire 25 era can be simmered down to two lines "Hello, it' me" and "Hello from the other side". There was nothing else culturally relevant or memorable from the era. Just a one song era.
Not when Send My Love is bigger than any Lemonade single.
I'm a Beyoncé stan and I'd take Lemonade any day over 25 but let's not be delusional.
25 is bigger than ANY Beyoncé era and that's a fact.
