Lemonade by Beyoncé
Lemonade is an album by Beyoncé, released in 2016. 6 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 21 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Formation”, on 8 lists with a best position of #179.
Lemonade, Beyoncé's sixth studio album, dropped without warning on April 23, 2016, on Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia, arriving as a visual album with a film of the same name. It's a concept record and a song cycle, built on the Kübler-Ross stages, that tells a story of marital betrayal and healing and uses it to open up a much bigger history: the experience of Black women in America.
The music refuses to stay in one lane. Producers including Mike WiLL Made-It, Diplo and James Blake help her move through R&B, rock, country, blues, hip-hop, gospel and funk, and the guest list says it all: Jack White, the Weeknd, Blake and Kendrick Lamar. Her voice goes from raw to raging and back. It was the best-selling album in the world that year, won Best Urban Contemporary Album and Best Music Video at the Grammys, and picked up a Peabody Award.
