Adele's album is better. Beyonce has a few different sounding songs on her album. But Adele's music has an air of class to it. "Hello" is a great song. But she has so many amazing songs on her album. It is a stellar album. "Hello" is way better in terms of quality then "Formation". "WWWY" is far more sophisticated than "Sorry". Quality wise Adele >. A lot of people kiss Beyonce's azz. Outside of the visual video, her album is good. But that's all. There's also David, Rihanna, RADIOHEAD, ect.. So.... Heck Justin B. might even get a nod for the success of his album. Then there is this underdog called James Bay. Alicia, Pink & the other Justin might come through too.. Drake may also be the urban artist too to fill that last nod.
