Love is a Game is definitely my favorite of the other three songs from 30 that she performed. I'm sure she did not give us the best songs on the album (although, with Adele everything is still pretty good), but I would definitely choose Love is a Game over the rumored 2nd single I Drink Wine.

I Drink Wine will be a single? Doesn't seem a good choice to me.
Or maybe it'll be the one to be put on NMF on the release day and the proper next single will be something else.
I'm not 100% sold on the new tracks but need to hear them on the album context.

“Love is a Game” sounds amazing. I have to watch the special later, I really enjoy those interviews!

Brilliant special. She’s a revelation, really. How lucky are we that we live in the same lifetime as her career’s real-time progression?

I don't like getting new songs live before I hear them, so I wasn't totally excited for the ones we just heard. But I hear the potential.
I Drink Wine is too inspirational/anthemic for me, so I really hope they change their mind for that as next single.

Not a fan of any of the new songs based on the live performances. They’re not bad, but I don’t have any interest in hearing them again. “Easy On Me” grew on me but still don’t like it anywhere near as much as most of the singles from the last two albums.

Not many, if any, broadcast shows, get a 1 or higher live rating in the 18-49 demo, so that's a pretty good result.
"Easy on Me" holds at No. on the Hot 100 for a fourth week; first single to top two of the metrics and rank No. 2 on the third since "Mood." The last single to top all three metrics was "Despacito."

I'm not a fan of anything I've heard off of this project so far. Adele's songs all sound bland this time. Something is off with her songwriting more than anything else. Based on what was previewed so far, everything is very boring. The songs just don't go anywhere... sound like they don't fly melodically, vocally or any other way.

Maybe they are choosing a risky track like I Drink Wine as the second single because they think it'll perform like WWWY?

Maybe they'll wait for Easy On Me hype to die down before launching another potential hit single? Whether IDW performs well or not, the album will sell tons so maybe they're keeping the ones that would sell the album for later.

I assume they'll push the Max Martin/Shellback track as single 3. This era might be similar to 25
"Hello"/"Easy On Me" "When We Were young"/"I Drink Wine" "Send My Love (To Your New Love)"/"Can I get It"
The first two singles being ballads/slow-midtempos with the third single being a more commercial/radio-friendly track.

If it's gonna follow 25's footsteps it's gonna be boring to follow as a fan. She kinda abandoned that one after "Hello", barely making a live video for WWWY and a very simple one for SML.
EOM is doing well but it's not pulling huge enough numbers that they would have to settle for a modest performer for single #2. Especially in the streaming era when people have like 3 active singles.

"Hold On" > "Love Is a Game" > "I Drink Wine"
I hope the label didn't make the wrong decision with IDW just because it got attention based off its title. I feel like they should go with which every song that gets the most attention this Friday.
On another note, why do y'all think "When We Were Young" was such a disappointment commercially but has become sort of a "cult classic"?

I like Love Is a Game the most of what’s been heard so far but I’ve yet to love anything.

I am LOVING the new music - all three new songs are miles ahead of Easy On Me IMO. This is the first music i’ve cried to in a longggggg time. Love Is a Game is definitely a new classic. Im getting very 70s vibes from this album so far which I’m living for.

Personally I don't want to hear any song live before hearing the studio version, so I really think people should just wait to hear the actual version. There's a lot of hot takes in this thread right now that are .... v questionable

On another note, why do y'all think "When We Were Young" was such a disappointment commercially but has become sort of a "cult classic"? was it really a commercial disappointment? it still charted fairly well with no music video and all. I think part of the reason why Adele's singles "underperformed" that era was that she literally sold 335 copies of her album per minute (in the US) within the first week it came out. had she released a second single before the album, I have no doubt it would have also smashed on the charts. that's a stark difference from the album prior, when she was having her commercial breakthrough. I don't really expect Adele to score another number-one from this album, tbh. "Easy on Me" is almost certainly going to be #1 the week her album drops, and she should have no trouble getting some debuts in the Top 10. her entire album in the Top 15/20 would be legendary. beyond that, unless she's willing to play the chart game, which I don't think she is, I can see some songs sticking around, and the second single having a trajectory not unlike Olivia Rodrigo's "traitor"—debut in the Top 10, hang around the chart as streaming slows down and airplay kicks in, and re-peak or get back into the Top 20/10 when the airplay peaks.

Excluding Easy On Me, Hold On is definitely my favorite from the songs we've heard so far.
I'll probably be buying and streaming the whole album.

The show itself was great and she sounded fantastic. But I do have to admit, none of the new material grabbed me at all.
