Lemonade is literally almost perfect (bar for Sandcastles)

It's so FULL as an album story concept. That alone gives it enough standing to make it the AOTY.
And none of this "oh but the movie!", the movie is part of the album.

It's more like the movie IS the album, but she made the individual songs available. It's why she uploads all of them to YouTube with the poems. Cause that's what it's supposed to be.
