The standard she's set for herself reminds me of how at a certain point of her career, a Mariah Carey song peaking in the Top 5 but not going to #1 was considered a flop. This isn't done yet. It may underperform relative to "Hello," but not every single of hers is going to be a monster. She just passed 8M copies of the album in the US. I don't think she's half as worried as a lot of people in this thread.

I prefer this much over Hello. Hello had a high burnout rate for me but I'm still loving When We Were Young and I've been playing it ever since 25 was released.

The song is doing great so far. Performances have not started, radio edit has not been issued, music video has not been released, and "Hello" is still outplaying the song on almost every station. I'm confused by all of the negativity when it had a very solid update yesterday ... Am I misreading!?!? ( 10. ADELE - When We Were Young: 86.979 (+2.294***) ▲) That's great, no ? I think the concern was yesterday's bullet on CHR was only 36..

Looks like Adele will perform this track at the GRAMMYs next week according to the flyer sent through e-mail by Columbia. Also, there will be an upcoming performance on The Ellen Show.

Yassss. Another WWWY performance to add to my video repertoire. I hope she does some minor arrangements than she has in the past.

Whatever kind of success this song ends up having will have no impact on my opinion of the song itself, which is that it's one of the greatest songs of the decade. IMO this is an absolutely stunning, timeless song that feels like it could have come from any era of time. It's a classic in the same vein as songs like "Just The Way You Are" by Bill Joel or "You've Got a Friend" by Carole King and I'm just thrilled that we have an artist like Adele around to make music like this in 2016.

Finally the station in my area has picked it up. Sounds great! Much easier to listen to on the radio.

Even though this is probably my least favorite ADELE single in a long time, I'm glad to see on the building chart that it really picked up a lot of steam week over week. I'd rather have my least favorite song by ADELE gracing Pop radio rather a lot of the disposal and fungible music out there.

Remember when the album was just hours old and everyone screamed how this was the best song ever? I still think it's the best on the album regardless of how it does. Still hope it goes to #1 though.

If the live video was the video for the song though, surely all the music TV channels would have it up on their sites and be playing it, as they have the song playlisted? That makes me think it's getting a proper music video.

With all the money they've made from this album already, with the minimal promo she's put out, the label better damn well put out a proper video for this. You have Taylor releasing a Joseph Kahne COD for OOTW as a sixth single... They better do this song some justice.

The pop bullet is chugging its way back up- acceptable.

Didn't expect negative updates after the release of the remix, but oh well, just a few more days for the Grammys and the retraction hasn't been that bad...

Climbing nicely on spotify, up to #45 with 291k streams. I suspect the grammys performance will not only boost sales but streaming a lot as well.
Release the video tomorrow and Adele can get her 5th #1 on the Hot 100, come on *_*

This will be one of the Grammy highlights. Adele standing there singing this will be stunning and she will not need to lip sync. She will just stand there and belt it out!

According to a new interview in Vogue (which was done in December), she was looking at Todd Haynes to direct the video:

I know some people are concerned at the performance of the single, but if you look at how the album is still selling beyond belief, clearly this single choice has not hurt in the slightest. There are plenty of albums that have sold off the back of singles that didn't go to the top of the charts. Just because this one is flying to #1 doesn't mean it's not doing its job. Despite my first impression of the song being that it was a bit schmaltzy and "been there done that," I now I think the song is absolutely amazing, and I find myself singing it all the time!
