No. "Bigger" era =/= more threads about it on ATRL.
25 is still the #1 album on iTunes WW, and it's still charting higher everywhere. Obviously more people are enjoying and listening to it, and its run isn't going to be over anytime soon. What else do you need? With all due respect, Lemonade might have pulled more headlines thanks to its backstory, but that's basically the only thing it's got going over 25. Stan world isn't everything.
Edit: I see it's an old thread, why would anyone bump this?

I've felt up both albums pretty well and can say that both albums feel about the same size (4.75 in x 4.75 in). I voted Lemonade tho cuz the booklet is thicker which adds extra weight.

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.
'My fave is exempt from flopping because she's my fave and I say so'

Why is everyone bringing up statistics when the question isn't about tangible evidence. The question is does it feel bigger? And the answer should honestly be yes. Beyonces album/era was an actual pop culture event whereas 25s astronomical statistical success is based purely on the hype machine of Adele finally following up her blockbuster 21 album which was, like Lemonade, a genuine pop culture moment. 25 is the Born This Way to 21's Fame+Monster era if you get me.

Thank you for adding another kii to this iconic thread

How is that something thats even arguable? Im not even remotely a Beyonce stan either. In fact the hive annoys me, but this is just blatant truth. Which is why I used that Gaga analogy at the end. Born This Ways sales were huge and its lead single spent 6 weeks at #1 BUT all of that success had more to do with her finally following up her massive Fame+Monster era. Born This Way on paper had massive success but in reality in terms of like being actually "popular" or whatever it was just so so. The proof being that none of the singles, despite all (sans MTN) going top 10, had the same sort of attention or longevity that any of her singles from the fame+monster had. The same can be said for 25 and Adele. If you can't see that it says more about your own bias.
but then again nothing feels bigger than 25, the week the album came out felt bigger than most girls' entire careers
