She's never taken this long to release an album? She must be scared as hell.

Yeah, this fall would be her best bet if she wants to make a big comeback. If we don't get the album this year or EARLY 2016 at the latest, I don't know when we will get a new record from her. I could legit see her taking a Shania Twain-esque hiatus.

I could legit see her taking a Shania Twain-esque hiatus. A what? Explain for those of us who are not familiar. Shania took a 'break' after her last studio album (Up!) in 2002 and greatest hits in 2005...and hasn't released any music since. I guess one could count her recent Vegas stint as a return to the business, but other than a spot on Lionel Richie's country duets album a couple of years ago, she hasn't done anything new. I would hope Adele wouldn't play us like that - at least Shania DOES have four whole albums under her belt; Adele only has two. Rather than Shania, a JT-esque hiatus wouldn't surprise me either...the one upside to that being that JT came back to tremendous hype himself, so there is a possibility that even with a wait much longer than expected, Adele could still return to much fanfare. I am impatient, but fading hype isn't a reason to be concerned IMO. If the music is not on point then the hype only sets people up for disappointment anyway. If the music is on point, then she'll snatch any fading hype right back with the proper launch. (Honestly, the single and album launch are what concern me more than the music - I've seen too many good or even great projects flounder b/c the marketing was jacked up, but I've also seen several mediocre ones get more credit than they really deserve because the label handled the roll out just right.) She probably is rather scared, there is no denying that; she's not your typical superstar but you can't help but feel the pressure after the kind of success 21 brought her. However, I don't think her being scared or holding back is indicative of the actual quality of anything she has made, really.

I could legit see her taking a Shania Twain-esque hiatus. A what? Explain for those of us who are not familiar. Shania's last album came out in 2002, aside from her Greatest Hits which came out in 2004. She hasn't put out a new album since, despite telling fans for years that she's been writing new music and had a new album in the works. She did go through a lot of personal and medical issues with her voice which contributed to her being away for so long though (however, she did do a stint at Caesar's Palace in Vegas for 2 years and is now out on tour again for the last time but promises us a new album by next year). So basically, what I was trying to say is that I can see Adele just laying low for quite an extended period of time like Shania did if she doesn't put out an album soon. She could just get used to being "normal" and decide she wants to focus on being a Mom and perhaps even have another child. I feel like Shania definitely waited too long to put new music out, and I'm hoping Adele doesn't wait THAT long to give us a new album.

Honestly, Columbia just gets it with every single format and artist for the most part. The team over there do a tremendous job on the marketing end and from a branding standpoint . Her worldwide campaign will honestly probably rival something we haven't seen in a very long time.

She's got a name that'll automatically pull attention, regardless of how long the wait may be. I definitely think that waiting another year will lead her into the "hype is fading" territory, but I still think she'll be able to pull in numbers that most of her headlining contemporaries couldn't. She's in a very solid and sturdy place right now. All someone would have to do is say "The woman who brought you 'Rolling in the Deep', 'Someone Like You', and shifted the music industry with her album 21 is back." (or some cheesy subtitle like that) and all eyes will be on her. She's left SUCH a mark that I don't think she'll have any issues with getting right back into the top tier of the charts with whatever she releases next.

I'm not sure where the Shania Twain comparisons are coming from. After the GH, there was never any mention of new music being worked from what I remember between then and her and Mutt splitting. The JT comparison also has its weaknesses, largely stemming from that Justin remained visible and regardless of how much more Adele sold, he's always been a "star" and has worked to maintain that. The FS/LS project pretty much extended its lingerings through Carry Out hitting in early 2010. That's a very very different approach to Adele's.
There's been multiple confirmations from her and others that work on new material has been done. The surprise is the continued delay on the album's completion.

THE DUCKS LINE UP: Adele’s album in progress is being mixed at a legendary Hollywood studio, and those who have been permitted to hear it say it’s as brilliant as hoped. It has yet to be determined which of the 20 songs still in play will make the final cut, or whether the album will make it this year; it’s hoped that it will get a pre-Thanksgiving release. Can Adele do 1m in her first week, given the fact that she won’t tirelessly promote it in the Taylor Swift manner? If Adele and a rumored Beyoncé album are released in Q4, along with 1D, Rob Stringer’s Columbia will be ensured another big year, perhaps the biggest since 2011, the year Adele’s 21 was released. hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=297242

I'm guessing we will probably get the first single right after Labor Day. She probably will perform in one of the November SNL slots, and release the album right around Black Friday.

Well this is exciting. I can't remember being this excited to watch an album roll-out from a numbers perspective (maybe Born This Way). Also simply excited to hear new music. Should be good...
