I like "When We Were Young" better than "Hello" and find it catchier.

Coming for NYSYNC's record... She's going to blow 1D/Justin Bieber out of the water come Friday, can't wait!
Haven't heard it in full yet, trying to resist the temptation.

Yeah thought I was the only one who didn't like WWWY. The chorus is way too wordy.

I think 25 is divine. I just think it's missing the explosive/swagger track equivalent of Rolling In The Deep. As an album I think it's her best.

Lord. This is great. "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)" and "Water Under The Bridge" are blatantly obvious single choices.

I like everything except Send My Love, Remedy I Miss You and River Lea. I think Send My Love is way too immature for someone like Adele, it reminds me of a Taylor Swift song from Red.

Man, "When We Were Young" is just a triumph. The theme of every school dance in Spring 2016, and every class reunion until the end of time. I think the only reason Remedy seems weak is that it has to follow WWWY, and am weary after that beast.
There's a lot going on here that differs from 21, some 90s R&B, the 70s Streisand ballad, some very modern pop, but it all feels authentic.

www.billboard.com/articles/news/6769320/adele-25-sales-shipping-projections-nsyncAdele's '25' Will Ship 3.6 Million Units in U.S., Could Top *NSYNC's Historic Sales WeekBy Ed Christman | November 18, 2015 8:53 PM EST Sources reveal that Columbia Records will ship 3.6 million physical copies of the singer's new album 25 in the U.S., which would probably mark the largest number of new-release CDs shipped in the past decade. The last album to ship more than that would have been *NSYNC's "No Strings Attached, which shipped 4.2 million units back in 2000.As of Nov. 18, insiders tell Billboard that parent company Sony Music is projecting first-week CD sales of 1.5 million, while Apple digital sales are expected to be about 900,000. Overall downloads should come in at about 1 million units. Sources also suggest that preorders at iTunes will wind up at about 450,000, while Amazon’s pre-orders have already topped 100,000, for both CDs and MP3s. Industry prognosticators add that the split between CD and digital downloads will probably be around 60/40, a shift from Adele's last album, the 11.2 million-selling 21, where digital only accounted for 28 percent of sales. If the digital and CD projections are hit, that means Adele would be selling about 2.5 million units in her debut week, which would make it the largest-selling album in a week in Nielsen SoundScan history, which began monitoring album sales in 1991. That record is currently held by *NSYNC’s No Strings Attached, which sold 2.415 million units back in the week ending March 26, 2000. At press time, nearly 28 hours from the album's Friday, Nov. 20, street date, it's still unclear if streaming sites will have the album. One service source says the album is not expected to arrive to streamers until the Wednesday after street date but could not say if that applied to all services or if one of the services was getting an exclusive. In addition to the initial week-one projection of almost 2.5 million, sources add that Sony projects it will sell an additional 1 million CDs over the following three weeks. By Christmas, 25 could be at 4 million units total.
