Adele ain't there apparently. Unless they bring her in secretly. She's probably sleeping or drinking wine not even watching lol -_____- Lol. I've made my peace with this being a lowkey era, but it would hurt less if she wasn't taking five year breaks. I'm gonna miss her a lot until 36 drops.

Shame Adele wasn't at the Grammys.
She's performing in the UK on the 1st/2nd of July. So there should be an active single around then. I assume they'll push the next single to radio in May/June if they're going to base the era around the UK promo (which they seem to have been doing so far).

....is she ever going to reschedule the Vegas residency though? Like it hasn't been officially "cancelled" yet right?

Adele doesn't care and neither do I anymore. I'm not wasting time on this bish if she can't even do the bare minimum for her fans. On top of it, 30 was a lackluster album save a few tracks. Girl, bye. I'm handing my Stan card back. I will still listen to 19, 21 and 25 periodically but I'm just not seeking her out anymore in a major way. Enjoy semi retirement or whatever Adele.😈

Odds that the Vegas thing doesn't happen are about 50/50 in my opinion, but there's technically enough time to announce and set the show up for Q3 or Q4.

Is this album getting a 3rd single? They let go of the second single a good while ago.

We love a phenomenal, acclaimed album (Queen of releasing no more than 2 real music videos per era post-debut tho. Annoying, but that and her lowkey-ness/lack of consistent promo isn't gonna make me like the music less.)

Lol this is “When We Were Young” all over again, with this IDW video.
Man, what an odd era this has become.

I still love this album but between the residency cancellation, lack of promo, and still no new single announcement, this era has been a mess since the album release week.

Maybe she's going to perform at the BBMAs on May 16th and push the next single then? And tie in an annoucement of the rescheduled vegas dates?
The BBMAs make perfect sense. "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)" was sent to radio May 13th and debuted its music video on the BBMAs back in 2016. She also performed it at Glastonbury in the UK in June that year. This year she has hyde park festival performances early July...
This era is mirroring 25 almost down to the T. I swear.

And here I thought that because we got the "30" signs all over the world, this was going to be a flawless and perfectly executed era for the ages.

This era has been grievously mismanaged. She pretty much fell off the face of the earth once 30 dropped. Like Adele, where are you, girl?!

I’m just over here jamming to Can I Get It wishing this album was half as good as 25.

mess. the album is predicted fall out of the Top 50, per the latest HDD update. meaning it's now way below all of these old ass albums:
5 OLIVIA RODRIGO | SOUR 9 DOJA CAT | PLANET HER
12 CAMILA CABELLO | FAMILIA 19 BILLIE EILISH | HAPPIER THAN EVER 30 TAYLOR SWIFT | RED (TAYLOR'S VERSION) 32 DUA LIPA | FUTURE NOSTALGIA 45 FLEETWOOD MAC | RUMOURS,
with the possibility that 30 might rank below (or barely above) Billie Eilish's 2019 debut album and Taylor Swift's folklore, which were ranked at Nos. 56 & 57 last week, respectively.
this is tragic. this era was always destined to be a downgrade from 25, but I didn't quite anticipate her camp to let go of the ropes this fast. "Oh My God" received a boring video and no real live performance, and they failed to even push it inside the Top 10 on pop radio. then she sings "I Drink Wine" at the BRITs, and it's been radio silence since. no active single, Vegas residency canceled last minute, and tweets/memes of her at the basketball game don't help out the album much. I haven't heard a single soul talk about this album or Adele's music in a while, which is pretty bad for the album/era that was supposed to dominate 2022 (and started the year ruling the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 in January).

I hear you, but I’m sure her next era will still open with huge numbers. Even if in fact this era is over, her career sure isn’t.

If she takes another 5-6 years to come out with another album, I definitely see another major drop coming with the next album. And who knows what things will look like in the music industry in 2026/2027. She theoretically could release an album that flops from the get go by that time, especially if there's dead silence between now and then for her.

Not surprising. "Easy On Me" has fallen a lot in playlist support and "Oh My God" barely has any now. Hopefully things will pick up again when the third single is released.
The cancellation of her Vegas residency likely contributed to this era feeling so flat. In an ideal world she would be nearing the end of her residency with rave reviews for it. They've likely had to completely replan most of the era around when the residency dates can be rescheduled for.
Fingers crossed we do get the next single announcement next month.

If she were to come back with “35”, I think the interest would still be there. Her core fanbase expects gaps between her releases at this point. Also she’d still be relatively young.

Idk, depending on when her next album comes, I think the honeymoon on Adele might be done now. 30 had good opening numbers but they didn’t last too long, despite how well Easy On Me ended up performing.

If Adele doesn't care, why should we? I mean yeah, we got a fantastic album, iconic moments (Insta live, 73* Questions, NBA, proposal, meeting with her teacher...), great performances, but since the beginning of the year, it feels like she just doesn't care anymore. Zero promo for OMG (I don't count that boring video as promo), I can understand the BRIT performance, since IDW was a solid hit in the UK at that time, but no Grammys? not even SNL? still no 3rd single?
I guess Adele's not the artist we all want her to be, and that's really okay, she's already a legend, with or without the chart/singles game. I'm grateful for "30" and I can't wait for "36" or something, but I'll definitely lower my expectations (at least for the promo part).
EDIT: My guess is that she'll release I Drink Wine as a single in October, just to have some Grammy buzz and because she said IDW video will inspire Halloween costumes. "Can I Get It" would be a perfect summer choice IMO, but if OMG was too upbeat for her, I can't imagine what she thinks about Can I Get It then.

This gets brought up every now and then not just with Adele but any artist who's "past their prime" so to speak. I don't feel like it's fair to say we shouldn't care about chart success and/or sales/streams. For one, this forum is dedicated to such things. For two, we all want to see our faves succeed in that avenue not just with critical acclaim or whatever. It's inevitable most artists eventually lose the commercial success piece, but I don't think any of us would want that necessarily. But you're right in that if Adele doesn't care, there's not much to be done about it. You'd think her label would care more though.

Maybe she wants the pressure of huge success gone from her shoulders, she said many times that she didn't like the fame 21& 25 brought her.

I disagree. It did well all throughout the holidays because she was active - she had the album out, CBS special with Oprah, Easy on Me was huge. The album was #1 for weeks and weeks. It pretty much died after the holidays b/c that's when EOM was ending and she stopped doing anything. The way that 30 has fallen off the charts has been pretty correlated to the effort her and the label have put into it.

I understand her not wanting to feel the pressure that she felt during the '21' and '25' eras, but completely disappearing and acting like you don't have an album out really annoys me with artists. She's not the only one who does that but right now she's the biggest one.

She's not the only one who does that but right now she's the biggest one. Makes me think of Lady GaGa's simile on Graham Norton that an album release is like a c*mshot. That's what these short eras feel like - I know it's hard being a working mother and not wanting your life to be absorbed by promotion and touring instead of being present for your child, but COVID showed us there are ways of doing thing without leaving your house or home city so I think record promotion needs to be reworked. But this is a larger conversation about music industry gatekeepers clinging to old models where they want to work artists into the ground.
