From Elton John to Barbra Streisand to "Girl From Ipanema," those descriptions make me think I will NOT like the sound of most of this. But then I remember that every step of this project will be calculated to perfection, so somehow she'll make those influences work.

It is VERY common nowadays for an artist to chart with nearly all of their albums tracks in the first week. In a way it is silly that Billboard changed the rules to allow this since when an album charts nearly all of their album's tracks in week one it sort of cheapens the Hot 100. Charting nearly all of the tracks for the first week is now the norm for big artists or at least younger artists. What will set Adele's 25 apart from the rest is that she will get multiple weeks at #1. Nowadays most albums debut at #1 due to all the pre-sales and hype then fall from #1 usually after a week or 2. In Adele's case I bet she hangs on to #1 for a long time.

My apologies to the 'Adelettes' I was so wrong in my predictions. Alanis who? Norah what? I won't make any more predictions. I'll just bow to the Queen and buy HELLO again.

Adele Plotting Arena Tour With An Old-School Booking Strategy, Sources Say
Adele's return to music after four years on the sidelines (save for "Skyfall") has been record-breakingly triumphant so far. The 1.11 million first-week purchases of lead single "Hello" broke digital sales records and her third LP 25, out Nov. 20 via XL/Columbia, is expected to sell well over a million copies in its first week and could even pass two.
But despite her mighty chart and sales record -- 2011's 21 has sold 11 million units in the U.S. and stuck around in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 for 80 weeks -- the singer's touring history is less established. The 2011 Adele Live tour was plagued by cancellations and postponements as the singer battled laryngitis, then a chest infection, then a vocal cord hemorrhage that required surgery and forced her to cancel her 16 remaining U.S. and U.K. performances.
Adele's 'Hello' Has Biggest Sales Week for a Single Since Elton John's Princess Diana Tribute in 1997
Finally fully healed, sources tell Billboard Adele is plotting a tour to support 25 using a strategy that's rare for an artist of her stature: her team is working on deals on a market-to-market basis rather than cutting a single tour deal with a promoter like Live Nation or AEG Live.
It's a more complex and time-consuming approach that is common for club circuits but has fallen largely out of practice on the arena level. But it can lead to competitive bidding in each market and better terms on hall rental and merchandise percentages. Plus, it can provide individualized attention in each market, as promoters focus on working their own shows independently rather than a tour as a whole.
For all its potential benefits, the tactic also puts much more work on the plate of Adele's booking agent, William Morris Endeavor's Kirk Sommer, who now has potentially dozens of deals to negotiate. Though less common for a superstar artist, the practice is not unheard of, and is the model for agents like Dennis Arfa, CEO of AGI, and his flagship client Billy Joel.
People Played Adele's 'Hello' Video About 1 Million Times an Hour for 2 Days
Still, it makes sense for an artist like Adele, who doesn't have an expansive touring record and could require the extra attention each market will provide. And while working market to market means independent promoters like Another Planet Entertainment, Nederlander Concerts, Jam Productions and Bowery Presents -- each of which promoted shows on her last tour -- are contenders to be involved this time around, it doesn't rule out partnering with Live Nation or AEG Live on select dates. Ultimately, it puts the focus squarely on who can offer the best terms in each situation.
While Adele's touring track record is not particularly strong -- Billboard Boxscore statistics report just 31 shows from 2008 to 2011, bringing in a gross of $2,765,455 -- that "doesn't matter" in this case, says Debra Rathwell, senior vp at AEG Live in New York.
"It's totally about pent-up demand," says Rathwell, who also believes Adele's four-year absence from the circuit won't come into play. "People just love her, they've never seen her, and they're going to see her. Sometimes being elusive and unavailable so increases your demand -- a thousand-fold in this case."
Adele Teases Tour, Talks About Her 'Squad' & Clears Up Marital Status in 'Rolling Stone' Cover
She's also expected to target arenas, a big step up from her previous tour of theaters and smaller venues, though that isn't expected to be an issue.
"It's going to sell out every show on planet earth," says another concert industry source. "As many shows as she wants to play, every show is gonna sell out. You can tell with what happened with the single. It's going to be a record breaking album."

I kinda wish she released that light pop album that got shelved. I think it "wasn't good enough" because it was too happy.
Instead we got "Hello" and it's just dull. I know she has all the hype in the world but I wish she returned with a better song. Or at least something completely different. Her music would sell regardless of what she released.

How does it cheapen the Hot 100? If anything, it enhances it and makes it real. The Hot 100 is the hottest 100 tracks of the week. So if a random album cut was downloaded enough to make the chart, it absolutely better be there.

Honestly today when anyone can listen before a purchase on SpotappletubeDAL, the complaint against album tracks charting needs to go. The songs that chart higher generally mean that they pulled a larger audience than the others with relatively little difference in the promotional aspects for each individual track.
Many significant huge singles came about from labels seeing the result of traction and changing plans, including one of her own from the last album.

Maybe it's just me but that performance was average. I'm here for Adele and love Hello but when she hits the top of the chorus it sounds like she is literally shouting. Idk...I love this girls voice and considering that this is one of the first of soon the be thousands of performances of this song, it did its job. I just think she needs some control on the choruses.

I believe that the drums needed to be beefed up during that live performance. The live band band needed to increase the intensity more and more as the song progressed to really give it that EPIC feel. Hell the pianist could've been the only one up there and it wouldn't have made a difference. I loved the vocal performance even though you can still sense a bit of nervousness seeing as this was live and in a grander situation rather then when she did it for the BBC on a more intimate scale. This woman still has an air of self-doubt around her and I love it because she's not being arrogant about her stature. Being humble and not forced goes a long way in the public's eye.

I cringe whenever I hear her say "to go over" in this song. It is SO ridiculous and dramatic and white chick basic and I can't.
