I completely disagree with your first paragraph. If Adele releases tomorrow at 11:59p the song will be every where world wide for at least the first week which will be enough for Grammy voters to notice. Even still, if they see anything Adele on the ballot they will go out of their way and listen first before passing it up. No way the Grammys will pass up the opportunity to recognize the biggest female artist on earth especially coming off The Weeknd mess.

Forget the Granny eligibility - at a minimum - she'll be on that stage. Dropping the single now is a great choice. If it somehow underperforms, which is possible - there plenty of time to issue another track with the album. Let's face it: RITD and Hello are incredibly high bars for lead singles.
WUTB was such a wasted opportunity - should've been the 2nd single to provide a contrast to Hello. WWWY was confusing to average person - being titled after similar/memorable lyric from 'Hello' - 'WWWYoungER and free.' Terrible choice. Yet WWWY is one Adele's Top 5 'Popular' tracks (#3) on Spotify, BUT HELLO is NOT in Top 5. That's CRIMINALLY insane.

That's another way to look at it, however it will have to be as big or nearly as big as Hello, truly standing apart both in quality and chart success, smashing hard right out of the gate.

I think whatever Adele releases (whenever) will peak out of the gate. Whether it can sustain its peak for a period will be based on how people respond (plus radio and any possible competition that follows). If it comes out tomorrow, we can expect it will be falling down the charts by November so any impact it will make will be made pretty well right away. A song doesn’t need a chunk of time behind it to get love from the Grammys.

Yet WWWY is one Adele's Top 5 'Popular' tracks (#3) on Spotify, BUT HELLO is NOT in Top 5. That's CRIMINALLY insane. I think there's several reasons why WWWY and WUTB under-performed besides poor marketing choices by her label (not releasing a proper music video for either or releasing in the right order, etc.). I think 25 came out at a time when we were starting to see post-album hits becoming harder to achieve, with the way streaming and the front-loadedness of albums becoming much more apparent (While 25 wasn't available to stream for quite a few months after its release, iirc it was eventually released while the album was still in its promo cycle, so that would've had a minimal effect on it, but maybe somewhat, especially by the time WUTB became a single). Also, because 25 had such gargantuan physical sales, especially in its first few weeks (over 7 million copies over the Holiday period!), which would have been remarkable in any sales climate, but ESPECIALLY so in 2015, that surely would have eaten into its later singles prospects, as many people who would otherwise buy or stream any single later on simply already had the album.

So Adele didn't need the singles success with 25 but it would have been great seeing her have it anyways (I mean it was still a successful era singleswise) I agree with y'all saying the missing promo really hurt her and also the single choices.. WUTB should have followed Hello, Send My Love for the summer and a final single could have been another ballad maybe River Lea/All I Ask/Sweetest Devotion (I think either of those would have worked) Anyways, I'm not expecting big chart success for her singles, I just want to Hear her damn album

Glad Adele's coming on the 19th and not the 5th like it was rumored. It'd be a mess to be competing with Taylor and ABBA.

I love how Taylor bowed down to Adele like that. SERVE. I mean, it's not that I think she would beat Adele (even with her new release), but Red is basically an old album. Mostly fans cares about it and we know Taylor is a chart geek, she wants that 'most #1 albums' record.

When Taylor Swift, one of the biggest pop stars in the world, has to move their release date - you know that could only mean one thing. Miss Adele Laurie Blue Atkins is awakening from her slumber.

Did people really think Adele and ABBA were going up against each other? Internationally, ABBA is going to do massive numbers based on pre-sale - Adele would likely win in most markets, but not a clean sweep.
ABBA, Taylor and Adele each get the spotlight and that's a good thing. It makes 3 consecutive weeks pretty exciting.
Patiently waiting for the single....
I've said this before: Adele is quite like Sade - timeless music that'll always be a consistent seller not just over years, but decades.

Happy to see some confirmation finally! I can't believe she's coming *_* It'll be really interersting to see the streaming numbers. I assume they will put the album up for streaming right away this time round.

Ain’t nobody scared of that hack Adele!! That’s not the reason ms Taylor changed her release date. Please!
Besides, people are catching up on that British hack and her one trick pony ass. Actually I won’t be shocked if she flops this time around. Y’all just watch!!!

I assume they will put the album up for streaming right away this time round. Her label would be quite stupid not to. I think Adele is one of the few artists who will have people streaming, but could still maintain astonishing sales. Plus, it would be amazing if Adele could smash Drake's streaming records (probably far-fetcheddream...). Plus, I will take an Adele-filled Top 10 on the Hot 100.

Adele could bring a new group of people to stream :) And I know this was discussed in a Hot100 thread, which I read too late to comment on, but if BB had a formula to estimate consumption of tracks by album buyers, Adele would have had a huge album bomb with 25

Queen Taylor basically confirmed Adele is coming lmaoooo.
Her rerelease was never going to match up with brand new Adele so good move for everyone involved.

Lmao you KNOW it’s something when one of the two biggest physical album sellers *moves* her own, long-standing, already-confirmed-and-publicly-scheduled release date of an album, completely out of the blue. There is literally no other reason to believe this isn’t Adele. And I’m so fucking inexplicably READY.
