I definitely agree that 25 is the bigger era btw, but you guys' arguments are so poorly reflected. I just can't help myself

Omfg.
If 20 million people cared to BUY it, you realize that it means the Internet was going CRAZY too, which it was right ?
There is nothing poor about an argument that
25 sold more in its first
DAY WW than Lemonade will have sold in 2 years there isn't A POSSIBLE argument about the latter " feeling bigger"
use any source u want
Google is basically the internet and it tells us that the interest in 25 was at least tripple of that of Lemonade and this is considering a lot of people didn't even have to go to the internet to hear Adele/Hello/25
And yes it does tell us a lot about demographics.
Adele being listened to by EVERYONE and Beyonce not
Like do you really think only older people bought 25 and Hello ?
Everyone was doing vines, reaction videos of Hello and so on.
Your argument about "accurate way of measuring interest" would be better if you talk about Lady Gaga/Britney's peak versus Adele's
Not something as small as Lemonade (which sold less than 25 did in a day).
what even
OT: their both even to me. Both of their lead single and album release week were events and made headlines.
