Yeah, I really don't like the album cover. Not only the photo, but I wish her name and 25 were on it. Both are in a circle in the bottom right - check the Target edition on their site and you can see it (and it's elsewhere too, not just for the Target-exclusive edition.

I see it in a red circle on Target's website for their edition, but not in the standard pics I've seen like on iTunes, etc. Am I blind?

Oop you're right - I guess the only other place I saw it was on her website, separately from the cover art. D:

I guess Target is the place to buy it and get the extra songs. Funny how Target does it for most artists. So smart of them!

That will be a great show. With the album out to purchase.
This rollout is flawless.

The album is totally going to sell 10-15 million copies worldwide before the end of the year, I can feel it.
Also, it already has 200k pre-orders in the US in 3 days, just crazy!

It's almost safe to say that she's going to beat Britney's record, but I wonder if they can shoot for breaking *NSYNC's record. That would truly be iconic.

I have a feeling they have a 2-3 year old school MJ style outline for this era, and that all but 3 or so of the album's tracks will be singles. The reason I see them doing this is because, for one I think this album is probably bursting with hits with all the top names in the industry that worked on it who probably also gave it their fullest efforts and attention. And more than that, because it's a great and relatively easy on her way to keep her in the public eye while we have another 5-7 year gap between albums as I suspect we will.

That would be amazing, but not sure it'll be able to go that far. Adele's exceeded expectations thus far though! Also, the second week for the album will have black friday, so maybe she could do the impossible and sell 1 million+ two weeks in a row?

I love the Live at the Royal Albert Hall Blu Ray from the 21 era. Me too. I pulled it out on Friday night and jammed to it. I hadn't seen it for a few years now. "Take It All"!! >>>>

Why didn't she keep the short hair in the video. Makes her look her age.

I'm starting to think 21 may have only been the warm up to this era. It may be 5-6x multiplat by year's end. If this has any kind of longevity after the New Year, it could potentially bulldoze right past 21's sales on its way to best selling album of the Soundscan era EVAH!

So basically she is losing her sound for more mainstream stuff, oh ok, got it? This album sounds like overthinking for hits when she had an audience locked down with her sound

This album sounds like overthinking for hits when she had an audience locked down with her sound A singer doesn't have to stick to one sound though, changing it up is a good idea, especially to help avoid comparison to 21, although it seems some of the album will be in the same vain ala "Hello". The album sounds like it could be genius though based on the descriptions of some of the songs and have very strong single material to keep carrying the album, I can't wait!

I never said anything about her keeping a sound or showing growth, but it feels not geniune when a supposedly "artist" is chasing after hits. That excerpt from the interview kind of implied that these songs are intended to be mainstream hits. There is no need for her to water down her sound because that is what being sold to the public. Even "Hello" is a generic one from her other hits, not saying that is not excellent; however, it doesn't excite if the rest of the album follow through as the same.

If read the full interview you will see that all of the generic pop songs were scrapped due to both Rick Rubin and her management feeling like it wasn't her. She has work reminiscent of both 19 and 21 on the album. It's a great read.
