I’m so peeved at the way her label is handling this era so far. This could have been avoided if they weren’t trying to appeal to Tik Tok. They should have never picked OMG as the follow up to EOM based on initial reactions. I’m sure Adele would have gone with something else but the label is clearly trying to appeal to the streaming crowd with generic uptempos. 30 doesn’t need any bumps in the road with the way things are going. It literally 25 all over again, only difference is they launched WWWY too early and that became a fan favorite only because it was a popular album cut. They should have halted the follow up of any single until the 2nd or 3rd week of March. Maybe OMG would have done better in the spring. It obviously isn’t a bad song, but I always campaigned against it being a single because it isn’t very Adele. If I were a fan of Adele’s, why would I want to buy 30 based off of OMG? It’s head scratching. OMG was the perfect follow up to EOM. It's a side of Adele people wanted to see, and clearly it clicked with people. Sure, it wasn't a streaming Monster, but it lasted on Spotify's Top 50 for almost 10 weeks straight. The error was with sending it for adds last year instead of January at the earliest and 2) failing to properly promote it. Recording a video only does so much in today's music world.

Lol OMG was absolutely the correct follow up to EOM.

It’s sad yet predictable what Radio is doing to ruin what could be a big superstar era. Now Radio will just cling on to 1 song for 6-9 months and any of the follow ups will just hit roadblocks and stall out trying to climb the charts. It makes It so much harder for any artist to have more then just 1-2 hit songs per era. Adele should just strategize for a relaunch at this point with the 3rd single. Maybe by the summer, radio will finally accept a new single from this album to climb the airwaves. They just need to wait it out a little like how The Weekend did between “Blinding Lights” and “Save Your Tears.”

It’s head scratching. Not all her fans are old people that want ballads. She obviously has a wide fan base and you can’t please everyone. I absolutely have no regrets about OMG being a single, people have enjoyed upbeat Adele before and OMG is a bop. But yes, it might have faired better in Spring/Summer. Cry would be a nice spring/summer single, but I think it could perform just like this, because radio is dumb.

EOM will be officially over soon and launching another full on single will work in a month or two, which will also coincide with the Grammy’s. This is exactly like 25 but I genuinely don’t know if they could’ve done anything else for this song besides a performance or something, or yes, an adds date later on… but having it as the release week single made a lot of sense and got it it’s Top 5 peak so what can you do?
