Yea with preorders a month in advance, she's definitely breaking Britney's record, and maybe even Nsync's.

Knowing I'm going to have a new Adele song in 24 hours is seriously making me reconsider whether I should get drunk tonight. I need to be prepared and in my right state of mind for this.

Is there a cover on the album like her previous two?
And I can't at people instantly thinking that she is going to break records and sell nearly 3 million copies of her CD in a week lol this is 2015. If artists couldn't even do that in 2000, how will they do it now? Yes, it will be huge, and probably sell over that through out the year, but it a week? That is not a done deal by any stretch of means. Taylor Swift is a MONSTER and still could not do that. Even if you double Taylors first week its barely enough. So let's calm down

But it isn't just a "week". It's a month AND a week, so yes it's possible.

I can't wait!
Is that face shot really the cover though? I would've liked some text and maybe a different photo. That fan-made one that's been going around is so much better.

LOL. I will reserve my excitement until I actually hear the music. For some reason, as much as I have loved Adele's releases, they don't seem to age well. 21 is, by all accounts, a great album but I don't consider it a classic, i.e. I never get the urge to play it anymore.

21 is for sure a classic. It defines summer 2011 very well for me. The way it slayed in sales alone makes it a classic. Please.

I'm just saying...I played it to death the year it came out but it just doesn't have that timeless appeal that I feel the true classics do - albums that people will always remember for decades. Granted, that is a rare feat but that's what I mean when I say "classic." For the record, there are albums that have gone diamond in sales that don't belong in the classic category, so I wouldn't exactly say that sales alone defines a classic album. This is not meant to take away from the quality of the album though.

There's soooo many records, new and old, that I have zero interest in personally, but it's not up to me to feel important enough to turn my own listening habits into a factual statement. As the saying goes: World populartion: 7.3 billion. Just in case any one person starts feeling too important. :)

I always felt some type of way with "He Won't Go". I LOVE that song. Make no mistake, 21 (start to finish) is one of my favorite albums of the last 10 years, for sure and I am excited for 25. Adele doesn't make bad albums, period.

Wait, in all these years she only managed to scrap 11 tracks together? No. We're not going there.

I just listened to the album for the first time as an album probably since 2011 or so (because I got so burnt out on the singles) and most of it still gave me the feels. Do You Remember will always be one of my favourites this decade but Turning Tables, I'll Be Waiting, her cover of Love Song. I think it's not just a want for me right now, it's a need. I need new Adele. K, Going back to crying now.

Either Bieber or 1D will secure a #1 album the week of November 28, then Adele will make sure they never see the summit again the week of December 5. That's how much anticipation there is for 25.

I've got to prepare myself for the video premiere this evening. I'm going to go to Yankee Candle or BB&B (because those 20% coupons never expire), get me some votive samplers, probably a glass of red wine, and I'm going to immerse myself into the song for the first time.

Every time I hear 21 I'm reminded of someone whom I was involved in during that exact time so I rarely play it. I'm hoping this album is more up beat cuz lord knows I cannot take another album from her getting me all into my feelings and making me drunk text all winter. :'(

Omg they are coming HARD. I'm kind of surprised honestly. Part of me thought Adele had no interest in another successful era and that she would just drop music with no great promotional effort.
Yet we're getting: TV teaser, her joining Instagram in time for the release, music video from acclaimed/cool director, big promo deal with NBC, a huge cast of super-producers, etc.

Oh man. I LOVE RCMH! It's a great venue, especially for a strong vocalist like Adele.
