It’s kind of crazy that Rihanna, Beyoncé and Adele all released their last albums within four months of each other five years ago and none of them have released since.

But Beyoncé has released a ton of music since, just not her next traditional studio album. She’s at least fed her fans Plus she’s had notable features since then too. She definitely shouldn’t be grouped with Rihanna and Adele as far as absences go. Ironically, Ms. Adkins reminds me of Beyoncé in those shots. Looking great!

Ironically, Ms. Adkins reminds me of Beyoncé in those shots. Looking great! it's Schiaparelli. Beyoncé wore a somewhat similar dress to the 2020 Golden Globes and similar earrings to the 2021 Grammys, both of which were also Schiaparelli outfits. to me, Adele looks so much like Katy Perry—the resemblance is uncanny!

I guess we can debunk that November 5 release date now. Interesting that she's going to be against Taylor Swift though~ Not yet, but they're the source. what i heard was november 19th for album and mid october a first single, everything is pretty secret in label. btw there is a secret album listen party on monday.big ballads with upbeat bop songs

November 19 is a perfect release date, but Taylor's releasing. She'll block Taylor, even though Taylor would probably go #1 the week after. She can't release on the 5th because of ABBA. She can't release on the 26th because of Thanksgiving/Black Friday. Stores don't stock CDs on Black Friday (they didn't stock Plastic Hearts last year). She could release on the 12th, but would she still block Taylor?

Adele and Taylor are not releasing on the same day, no chance. If there’s no suitable date for Adele she can just push it back an entire year lol

Why does anyone think Adele or her label cares when Taylor releases her reimagined album? Adele will set the best date for her, and other acts can decide whether they want to move to accommodate that or not.

Right? If anyone is going to move, it'll be Taylor. Adele's last album holds the record for largest opening ever despite being released long after the peak of album sales. Taylor's last reimagined album opened with under 300k, not even 10% of 25's opening. Even if Adele sees a 90% decrease from 25 to this album, that's still higher than what Fearless TV opened with and I don't expect Red TV to have much of a different opening.
Now if it were a legit new Swift album, there's no doubt in my mind it would be a nail biting week. But it's not. Taylor is either going to move a week earlier or settle for the #2 debut. (She'll find a way to get to #1 later anyway with signed copies or vinyls or whatever.)

while I do think Adele is more than capable, we reeeally don't know how her numbers translate into the streaming era. remember: 25 was released while sales were still generally well (though on the decline), and more importantly, she withheld her album from digital streaming platforms. the only way to listen to her record was to buy it. on the other hand, I feel like Adele's fanbase would be very much into picking up a vinyl during release week. she could very well break the record for most vinyl song in a week, set by Taylor Swift's evermore earlier this year. I would love to see Adele break the million-unit ceiling one last time. but I don't expect it. anything above 500k SPS is pretty legendary in the current sales climate. Even if Adele sees a 90% decrease from 25 to this album, that's still higher than what Fearless TV opened with and I don't expect Red TV to have much of a different opening. unlike Fearless, RED is being released alongside its physical copies, including a 4-disc vinyl. it's also much more of a fan-favorite than Fearless, from what I have seen. so I fully anticipate RED to open with greater numbers. 500k might not be that big of a stretch. she will easily clear 300k. TL;DR — I think if Adele and Swift do indeed release on the same day, I can see there being a nice friendly competition that ends up helping bring both of their numbers up. kind of like the 1D vs. Bieber or the Katy vs. Gaga moments from the early 2010's. I would bet on Adele to come out on top, but still give Swift a 30% chance.

But since she’s already there, Adele isn’t gonna want to just put hers on top of it obviously.

I understand some people are skeptical because Adele's last album was released 6 years ago, and Taylor is obviously a great album-seller...but no one can compete with Adele. She's on another level and one of the few artists who is also popular among the older generation.

My only hope for whenever her next era starts, is that we get at least 3 official well-put music videos. As much as I love the live versions of SFTTR and WWWY, those songs deserved epic cinematic big-budget visuals.

Adele has no need to be worried if she debuts the same week as Taylor. There is no chance in hell a re-recorded old album of Taylor’s (which will primarily only be consumed by her most ardent fans) will topple a new album from Adele. If they were both releasing wholly original albums, the story might be different, but Adele will clearly be the winner here.

Rumor has it :kiii: that Adele filmed a music video in Canada (Quebec to be exact). @pma2015 I know Toronto is quite far from Quebec but can you tell us of anything you might’ve seen or heard? Any information at this time is crucial and it will ensure our survival. What can you tell us?

Adele and Taylor releasing on the same day is a non-factor. Adele will do 1.5 million first week. Minimum.

Even IF Taylor had those 5667676876767 versions of Red re-release immediately, Adele will surely be #1 the week after and have decent Black Friday sales too.
It could go like: 1st week Taylor 500k vs. Adele 490k 2nd week Taylor 100k vs. Adele 250k
or sth
