Beyonce‘s ‘Lemonade‘ has crushed Drake‘s ‘VIEWS‘ and Rihanna‘s ‘ANTI’ to become Rolling Stones’ ‘Best Album of 2016.’
Good news for the triple threat below…
Beyoncé shut everyone else down this year with a soul-on-fire masterpiece, testifying about love, rage and betrayal that felt all too true in the America of 2016. The queen not only made the album of the year (and make no mistake, David Bowie would have been the first to say so), she delivered a confessional, genre-devouring suite that feels larger than life yet still heartbreakingly intimate, because it doubles as her portrait of a nation in flames.
The publication released the statement above to explain why they placed the set at the head of a list made up of some of the year’s strongest releases.
Who made the top ten?
1. Beyoncé – Lemonade
2. David Bowie – Blackstar
3. Chance the Rapper – Coloring Book
4. Car Seat Headrest – Teens of Denial
5. Frank Ocean – Blonde
6. Radiohead – A Moon Shaped Pool
7. Rolling Stones – Blue & Lonesome
8. Kanye West – The Life of Pablo
9. Leonard Cohen – You Want It Darker
10. Young Thug – Jeffery
Any surprises?
