How are those things irrelevant? The Album of the Year is by and large always the best selling albums of the year, with one or two obscure/alternative/Indy albums thrown in.
There's no official criteria that I know of for AOTY. You can't say "this album sounds better than this one" when comparing two completely different genres of music.
So what's the criteria? If you asked me off the top of my head what I think it is, Id say it is what was the best, most impactful and culturally relevant album of the year?
No doubt that was Beyonce.
