3. Beyoncé, Lemonade, (2017)

With this impactful album, Beyoncé explored themes that most artists would not dare to touch on. She explored a plethora of deep political themes, including feminism, gun rights, and racism, while also including other themes of heartbreak, Southern Roots, revenge, forgiveness and, ultimately, redemption.

Despite winning the Grammy Award for Album of the Year for her album 25, Adele herself admitted that she felt that Beyoncé was more deserving of this award. Considering that this album featured a broad range of genres, from her Pop/R&B roots to the countryfied Daddy Lessons featuring the Dixie Chicks, one can hardly blame Adele for her statement.
