Adele is in particular very old-fashioned in the way she promotes. I don't expect her Backyard Sessions to happen anytime soon, for example.

I’d be so frustrated to be a stan of hers. I love her, but more of a casual listener myself. Why would you basically go completely silent mid album era when you are a huge star and the album is performing well.

She's allegedly fired her creative team for the show and drafted in a completely new team for it!

I mean put her in a black dress, give her a microphone stand and stool and shove her out on stage. The stager she fired has worked with huge name artists and even staged an Olympic ceremony. Surely an Adele concert was not out of reach for her.

Not saying there isn't more she could be doing now with promotion, performances, etc., but I really think they shouldn't try to force anything too much too quickly, now that the era seems to have unexpectedly slipped after the strange underperformance of OMG, and the album falling down to about #50 after less than six months on the chart. The thing is it's going to be hard for them to determine what's best to push next out of an overall radio-unfriendly album, and especially when OMG was considered to be the most radio-friendly of the bunch but they released that and it failed (or it could also be that they just pushed it too soon when EOM was still at its peak), so I really think their best bet now might be to take a more hands off approach and see if any song picks up interest organically by going viral or through some performance or TitTok meme, etc., and then push that song, and this doesn't necessarily need to happen super quick, it can be 2 or even 5 months from now if the song is strong enough and resonates enough with the public.

"Adele is close to finalizing a deal to bring her Vegas residency to a new home ... with her sights set on a premiere date in a few months. Sources with direct knowledge of the singer's plans tell TMZ ... she and her team are in serious talks with the people over at Planet Hollywood, and will do the show at Zappos Theater -- barring any unforeseen setbacks." www.tmz.com/2022/04/30/adele-las-vegas-residency-zappos-theater/Adele also has the "I Drink Wine" video somewhere in her vault.

^ Yes, Adele has been offered to perform between July 4th and Labor Day. So, if she turns this down, no Vegas for her.

What a joke.

That's good news regarding her Vegas show. I assume once it's finalised they will announce it later this month as well as announcing/pushing the next single from the album.

So do y'all think the album era is done? I feel like if it wasn't we should've gotten a single by now, no?

I would say they've called it a day at this point. "Oh My God" flatlined at radio three months ago and they haven't tried with anything since. Honestly, following the Vegas fiasco it's just better for her / her team to go silent at this point and try to push a tour / residency when the time is right and they have all their ducks in a row. Not sure if they're even going to bother at this point, though.

So crazy how an era that was basically delivered to her in a gold platter was messed up so badly by her/her team/her label/etc.

Yeah, this whole thing is completely insane. This album could have had 2-3 number one singles, minimum. And that’s more ridiculous when you consider how much less radio/single friendly this album is than 25. I think the truth is clear, she and her team are not chasing numbers or charts. And that’s fine, but I’m not sure how her stans feel about that in combination with the Vegas debacle, lack of promo beyond the first week, etc. I casually follow her and while I didn’t enjoy this album as much as the last, I still expected big things from the single releases, although I have no idea why given her history there. At the very least she added another career highlight with this album. Easy On Me over-performed and that’s truly saying something given the sky high expectations.

The rollout is a bit messy but they will restart it in H2 of 2022. The silence feels calculated at this stage due to the PR mess she's in. - July: Hyde Park - Sep-Nov: I Drink Wine - Vegas makeup will happen sometime this year - Hyde Park Netflix film in December - Grammys in March 2023, no sweep, she either performs EOM or she can break her vow and get the GP back with a watershed performance of TBL.

I think they'll push I Drink Wine in September/October, just because she already filmed the video (and to have some buzz for the Grammys). I think that's far too long, why not sooner? I think within the next couple months, along with the Vegas reschedule announcement (if there is one) and whatever other performances/appearances she has coming up would be a good time to quietly push a third single, with mild expectations of course - if it's a surprise smash, that would be terrific, but if it ends up doing nothing, just gracefully let this era die and call it a day. I've said this several times before, but I also think planning some type of re-release with new material would be an option worth pursuing, because it's gonna be bloody damn hard to create a hit out of something many people already own or streamed on-end for the past six months.

The fact the only promo the album is now getting is whenever she watches basketball. :'(
I really do hope they release a single for the summer but I think they'll go with "I Drink Wine" September/October then Grammys performance of "Easy On Me" 2023 (possibly sweeping although not so sure about that) and end it there.

Hard to believe '30' promo/singles bungled far more badly than '25' - Adele sure did a lot of pre-promo - through her weight loss photos, going to NBA games with a date, etc. I absolutely don't get it. Maybe she would've tried harder if EOM underperformed. It seems like she's not hungry anymore, but I suppose we knew that after the way she treated her Vegas-ticket buying fans.
That said, she has tons of goodwill with the public. Mariah, Christina, Lady GaGa, Taylor, etc.came back from a string of bad PR/career moves. If Adele wants it, she can fix it.

I still don't understand her unwillingness to perform "Oh My God" (or any of her more uptempo songs from the album) live at award shows. Fans (or at least me lol) want to hear those songs live despite what she may think.

The way my girl has her second fanbase on ATRL (aka the Taylor stans) constantly foaming at the mouth still lmao. I'm glad I, on the other hand, stan quality/talent over success - and 30 is excellent.
All of her albums could have been managed better singles-wise, but I guess Adele doesn't care about that much. The fact that we've never gotten more than 4 US singles in an era. It would be great to get more music videos and performances (from having more singles). She has a lot of great songs that were robbed from being singles. And "I Drink Wine" isn't listed as a single on Wikipedia, was it never officially released in UK or something? But I guess a half-ass single release isn't worth it anyway.
And she should be more willing to perform bopS live tbh, like schnetzka said.

Overall, not tragic, but she was definitely perceived as an artist on the downswing. Fortunately for her, she had The Voice lined up and MWJ feature. It didn't really change her fortunes when it came to music - Your Body was barely a hit and SS was a feature, which is perplexing considering her talent.

It was also her performance of Genie 2.0 with a Gaga-like imagery while then responding not knowing whether Lady Gaga was a female or male -at a moment where there ridiculous comments online that Gaga could be a man or an intersex person And the Not Myself Tonight song and video being panned by critics. MLJ was definitely a good step toward some sort of recovery. Say Something and Feel this moment we’re great hits that added to her discography
