again with this thread.......

BOTH DID AMAZING.

Biggest Female records of 2016.

But Lemonade didnt feel that big BECAUSE NO HITS HAPPENED.

Yes... 'pure sales' are bigger... but SPS are pretty even.... and ANTI HAD 1.4M FREE COPIES GIVEN AWAY.

Lemonade sold well coz its not up for Streaming.... and its sales are not astounding either for that case.

Anti had a huge hit and a big hit + Decent sales + Amazing SPS sales + Great tour + Great impact.
Lemonade had no hit + Great sales + Meh SPS sales + Amazing tour + Great impact.

So... The are pretty much even figures wise... but as Lemonade has no hit.... it cannot feel bigger. Sorry

The BIGGEST FEMALE RECORD of the year is LEMONADE.

Anti decent sales? It hasn't sold 600K and it's been 8 months. That's the "meh"

Lemonade outsold Anti is Sales and SPS. So "meh" that

Isn't it funny how they only use those scrapped singles when it's convenient? They went "platinum" and yet the album did Shawn Mendes numbers first week.

Lemonade era:

- VMAs
+ album movie premiere on HBO

ANTI era:
- BRITs
- BBMAs
- VMAs

You sure?

I mean to go back to 2013 when EVERYONE on ATRL tried it with the "Beyoncé performed at several promo spots before releasing her album WHICH COUNTS AS PROMO!!!1!" talk. (even though she never promoted new music)

So, let's not forget about the singles prior to ANTI which all had videos + the Grammy Awards, iHeartRadio Music Awards, Saturday Night Live, Jimmy Kimmel AND the Anti Diary.

Both have had their promo spots and media coverage leading to their respective eras.

----

Many people on ATRL just try to ignore facts. ANTI is by no means a flop. It's one of the biggest eras this year. And Rih's overall year so far is AMAZING. But Lemonade has the upper hand if you compare the albums

Formation was performed on SB while the song was giving away for free... 3 months later, she got the song inside TOP 10. Be mad by this trolling from the queen

Rihanna performed 4 times at the VMAs, was giving the hightest honor and still managed to be upstaged by Beyoncé (with Britney being dragged in the middle).

Rihanna also toured... didn't she?

Bey "promoted" just as much... the only thing missing for her is a purchased plaque and a giving away of the album

Did people even know formation was being given away for free on tidal?
Formation was performed at the SB and still flopped (1 week in the top10 a true quick little single)

Beyoncé performed at the vmas for 16 minutes which was more than rih (the vanguard winner)..the thirst is real

Purchased plaque? Didn't bey's husband buy a plaque too a couple of years ago? And bey even congratulated him on IG she's a fraud too..

Babe.... Lemonade sold 2.47M WW and Anti sold 1.33M + 1.4M copies given away FOR FREE LEGALLY COUNTED AS SALES

THAT IS WITHOUT EVEN STARTING TO COUNT ON HITS OR SPS.....

Lets not start with that.

i get it... you are bitter coz the poll kicks you in the balls.... Deal with it. Album sales WITHOUT STREAMING or HIT SINGLES..... Do not look that well in 2016. Babe.

Meh

Love how you all forget Anti-dairy (the world did too) which was played during the AMAs, Empire and Scandal. &.The Voice among several things

Pleaseeee, the GP thought AntiDiary was just a Samsung campaign to promote their phones. It didn't feature new music from Anti or anything. Not even a snippet or a release date.

And....The Voice?

The tour is doing less than Kevin Hart's tour
Live Nation refusing to release the remaining dates

LEMONADE ALBUM SALES DO NOT MEAN LEMONADE AS AN ERA.

We are judging the era's success.......

Lemonade has bigger sales. But had ZERO HITS ANYWHERE. Not even in the US.

SPS: Lemonade 2M+, Anti 1,5M ( album sales, single sales, streaming)
Tour: Lemonade
Award, acclaim: Lemonade
Any question?

[sadnews]

lemonade obviously.
we're talking about era. not just hit single.
era meaning everything happened on the album active frame.

only thing anti has is hit single.
lemonade has critic acclaim, album sales, single sales(yes she sold more single than rihanna in us), bigger tour, awards, iconic performances, dicussed for its message in big medias.
lemonade is more famous than anti.

Formation was never released as a single It did what it did being a cute album track Mad?

Not everybody has the stamina to put on a 16 minutes cohesive set while showcasing their multiple styles. Some people needs air to breathe or intermission to make it obvious they are diverse.

I'm confused, did Bey buy a plaque?
