AIA is incredibly overrated. Keep that snoozefest on the album and off the radio.

I hope they send out "Water Under The Bridge". They've already given "All I Ask" some great promo slots and Adele is all about showcasing the album as a whole. Then "I Miss You" as the final single with an amazing cinematic performance on the grammys *_* Tbh they should just make the 2017 grammys an Adele concert. Kinda hoping they give her a 10 minute performance slot to do a massive medley of 25.

WUTB is the only choice for the next single. AIA is too long-winded and tiresome. WUTB is the SFTTR of this album and its perfect for fall/winter.

The performance of WUTB got MSG up on it's feet and was just electric. I hope she goes with it.

Congrats to her. Certified 27x platinum! So who else has 2 diamond albums? Shania, Celine and BSB. Britney?
And yes, I agree "Water Under The Bridge" needs to be the 4th single, if there is one. We got some high-profile performances of AIA, they did their job, but it's boring and IMO, won't sell the album as well as WUTB.
And while I don't see "I Miss You" being a single, I agree that it's perfect for an epic Grammy performance. Unless she does "Hello" since it'll be the nominated single.

Personally I don't understand how people could prefer All I Ask over Water Under The Bridge. WUTB sounds much more unique and powerful, even if it isn't your regular ballad you expect from Adele.

I prefer All I Ask over WUTB and I am absolutely in love with both tracks.

I just noticed that WUTB is on Spotify's Fresh&Chill playlist, which features Adele as the playlist art. That might show us which way her label is leaning.

There is a survey on "Rate the Music". The two songs in question are "Water Under the Bridge" and "All I Ask". I voted for WUTB. AIA is just cringeworthy. Came in here to post that. I said I preferred WUTB, but let's be real here - I gave both of them glowing reviews. I hope they send out "Water Under The Bridge". They've already given "All I Ask" some great promo slots and Adele is all about showcasing the album as a whole. Then "I Miss You" as the final single with an amazing cinematic performance on the grammys *_* Tbh they should just make the 2017 grammys an Adele concert. Kinda hoping they give her a 10 minute performance slot to do a massive medley of 25. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

If this were 1994, All I Ask would be the only option. I love it for that reason. Water is the better choice for today.

"All I Ask" is so paint-by-numbers for her that regardless of whether it becomes a big hit or underperforms like "When We Were Young," it's not breaking any new ground. "Water Under The Bridge" is more of a risk, but I think it has the potential for greater reward.

I swear to Godney, if AIA is next over WUTB then everyone responsible for that choice needs to be forced by the Shame Nun to walk naked through the streets to a jeering crowd.

Adele's '25' Hits Diamond Status in Less Than a YearAdele is once again in a league of her own. In an era when mutli-platinum album sales are typically reserved for an elite group of artists, the British singer has reached a career pinnacle that most superstars are lucky to summit once, to say nothing of doing it twice in a row. According to the RIAA, Adele's smash 25 reached diamond status last Thursday (Sept. 22), certifying it for 10 million in sales in the U.S. alone. She received the 10X Platinum plaque on the final night of her six-show stint at Madison Square Garden. On the strength of the seven-times platinum single "Hello" as well as hit singles "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)" and "When We Were Young," 25 reached diamond in a little over 10 months. Her previous album, 2011's 21, propelled by hits "Rolling in the Deep" and "Someone Like You," took almost two years to hit diamond in November 2012. Adele continues her sold-out North American tour, which runs through a Nov. 21 date in Phoenix, Arizona.

I wish it wasn't an either/or. "WUtB" for the Fall and "AIA" as the final single.

Does anyone know how one can get tickets to the Phoenix show? It's next to impossible unless some people relinquish their original tickets since that date is a rescheduling from the Phoenix date that she cancelled. That date was sold out just like every other and nobody is giving up these tickets. One of my friend's parents flew to NYC from San Antonio for one day just to see her at Madison Square.

They couldn't get Houston tickets? Hell I couldn't get tickets to Austin, Houston, or Dallas during the presale or general sale. They said they used the odds of NYC and LA having multiple dates and they called and were able to secure two tickets to NYC on a weekend and they took it.
