Lemonade was introduced on April 23 through its same-titled film, which was soundtrack by the album’s songs and premiered on HBO. The 12-song visual album was released by Parkwood/Columbia Records following the film’s debut, initially a Tidal exclusive. By April 25, the album -- which is bundled with the film -- went on sale through other digital retailers. A physical version of the set was issued on May 6.

Lemonade is 2016’s third-biggest-selling album and one of only two albums released in 2016 to sell at least one million copies. Drake’s Views, with 1.196 million sold, is the other. Adele’s 25 -- which was released in 2015 -- is 2016’s best-seller, with 1.334 million sold this year. (In total, 25 has sold 8.774 million.)
