Adele is the one artist who can get me excited for a ballad. I hope she pulls on our heartstrings.

I’m beyond ecstatic about this. She writes a mean piano ballad (and the video gives me “Someone Like You” which I absolutely adore).
I can’t wait to play this on repeat on my birthday🥳

I wish it was coming this week, but they want to build the hype.

Yeah no, there's no way she doesn't clear 1 million first week. That would be one of the steepest album to album drop for any major act as she would need to drop over 70% from 25's 3.3 million to not cross 1 million. Even if the lead single underperform, I seriously doubt that Adele still wouldn't clear 1 million first week on hype alone. Taylor still cleared 800k with Lover and folklore even though Lover have two stinkers for lead singles and folklore is a surprise release. I definitely expect Adele to clear 1 million, but I also wouldn't be surprised at a steep drop. It's been 6 years since 25 and the music industry has changed wholesale in that time. It isn't the same as when major artists release albums within a few years of each other and in similar sales conditions.

A Cassette Tape!
Her steering wheel is on the left!
She's driving on the right side of the road!
Has anyone paused the video and zoomed into those music pages to play that music?

And there goes the "taylor is letting her have her moment" narrative. I am glad swifties snapped out of it and decided to bow down to the real queen of music.

...I might actually cry. This is the greatest thing to happen on my birthday in years. She's one of my absolute favorites ever and I am so unbelievably, unreasonably ecstatic for this. That piano melody is killer. It's just heavenly and it's already in my head on a huge constant loop. I just...F**K, I can't wait to hear her voice again!!! It's been six years. I have waited six years for this.

I’m excited for this but I do hope there’s at least one dance bop on her album, maybe something Kylie-inspired. I’ve been waiting for something dance-y from Adele for a very long time.

It isn't the same as when major artists release albums within a few years of each other and in similar sales conditions. I just expect the unexpected when it comes to Adele and I don't set expectations. We talk about a sales decline but that only pertains to certain areas in the market. For example in 2016 25 was the highest selling vinyl that year pushing between 110K-120K units. Taylor recently broke the first week vinyl record after evermore was already on the market with 102K units the first week. If Taylor can push that kind of number what do you think Adele could do if they pressed enough for her first week?

I just want at least ONE acoustic ballad for my nerves. Million Years Ago is one of my favorite songs off 25.

Maybe she’ll drop a double single much like Beyoncé did with If I Were A Boy/Single Ladies. It feels like she sticking to the tried and true with a piano ballad, same B/W, same font which I’m not mad about but I do hope we get something different in the long run. I would have loved a mid-tempo TBH.

I imagine a decent number of people will still buy an Adele CD, especially with great in-store placement at the mass merchants and other outlets. Not to mention vinyls. And, the streaming should be decent; doesn't have to be record-breaking in that regard. Even a 60% drop from the last one's opening sales would mean 1m and change.

Maybe what we hear is an intro and the song is itself is midtempo or uptempo?

Honestly, as long as she surpasses Morgan Wallen for biggest album of the year, her sales number can immediately fall off a cliff and I'd still be satisfied

Ey, what if the cities that Adele put the billboard in are the ones she’s gonna tour?
