Who would have thought that just seven months after its release, "30" would be struggling to remain in the upper half of the Billboard 200. "Bad" was not as successful as "Thriller." "Dangerous" was even less successful than "Bad." But, Michael Jackson's label kept each album's momentum going with the steady release of new singles and videos. For all the money that was invested in Jackson, I can't imagine his label was not seeking a return on its investment. For that reason alone, I am stumped by what has happened with "30." You would think Adele's label and management would have mapped out a far more comprehensive and longer range marketing plan than just two singles and a few television appearances. The residency may have backfired, but enough time has passed that an updated marketing strategy should have been implemented by now to sustain interest in "30" and Adele. It should only be about the music. But, this is also a business. Adele's label has the right to expect to profit from "30" which I don't see how they can accomplish when interest in this album has waned so significantly.

Published today:
As Adele’s Massive Hyde Park Concerts Approach, Layoffs In Las Vegas With No Word on Residency Rescheduling by Jim Aswad, Variety (https://variety.com/2022/music/news/adele-hyde-park-concert-las-vegas-residency-rescheduling-1235301036/)
As Adele’s massive concerts in London’s Hyde Park next week approach, workers at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace — where she abruptly postponed her Las Vegas residency on Jan. 20, just a day before it was set to begin — were told this week that they will be laid off for the summer, according to a report in the Las Vegas Review Journal.
The move, which will see 11 full-time employees furloughed from the end of Morrissey’s residency on July 9 through preparations for Rod Stewart’s run beginning on Sept. 23. The venue is currently dark for most of July, all of August and three weeks in September.
While a source recently told Variety that Adele’s residency will “definitely” take place this year, there has been no official comment from reps for the singer, Caesars Entertainment and promoter Live Nation. According to the report, Adele’s image remains on the side of the hotel and also on Caesars’ official website, although there is not another opening on the schedule until November.
It is possible that Adele could schedule a residency at Zappos Theater, which is also owned by Caesars Entertainment, although there is no opening until mid-December. Other suitable venues in the city are similarly booked. While Adele has said she plans to fill all 24 of her postponed dates at the Colosseum, she also has said that she wants to have a baby with her boyfriend, agent Rich Paul, next year.
Adele addressed the abrupt postponement of her Las Vegas residency in February in a pre-recorded interview on Britain’s “Graham Norton Show.”
“I tried my hardest and really thought I would be able to pull something together in time,” Adele said of the Vegas postponement, which was announced just hours before the first show, after hundreds of fans had traveled to the city for the show, according to reports of the interview in the British press.
She seemed to lend credence to reports that the show was called off over creative differences with designer Esmeralda Devlin and the venue, Caesars Palace, rather than crew members testing positive for Covid-19, as she’d originally stated.
“I regret that I kept going until that late in the day. It would have been a really half-assed show and I can’t do that,” she said. “People will see straight through me up on the stage and know I didn’t want to be doing it. I’ve never done anything like that in my life and I’m not going to start now.”
She said a new show is in the works and will “absolutely” be rescheduled for later this year, although that was nearly five months ago
“We are now working our asses off, but I don’t want to announce a new set of dates until I know everything will definitely be ready,” she said. “The sooner I can announce the better, but I just can’t in case we are not ready in time.
“It is absolutely 100% happening this year. It has to happen this year because I’ve got plans for next year. Imagine if I have to cancel because I am having a baby!”

The Vegas residency cancellation mess really killed this era which until now is unresolved!

It wouldn't be that hard to re-promote around the holidays 2022. Release the Target bonus tracks version to digital and streaming services, maybe tack a single extra new song on, promote "I Drink Wine" with another single waiting behind, and open the Vegas residency to rave reviews.

Yeah she sounded sincere and can't help but be charmed again, her power lol
But she really needs to get that Vegas residency mess fixed, it was really handled poorly. I'm confident she'll do an amazing show but first, schedule it now

Glad to see the era looks to be getting back on track. When the new dates are announced I hope they push the next single. I assume "I Drink Wine" will be pushed this autumn/winter.

I think the era being "back on track" is a reach. She did two shows and has nothing else scheduled that we know of.
The shows did prove how easy it would be for her to promote. She did two shows and social media were all over it. She just needs to get out there again.

With some more promo, the era could be something in the long run.

Are you talking about Vegas? Obviously she cared or she wouldn’t have been in tears about it. They’re not cancelled, we’re waiting on new dates. And we also know she doesn’t like to travel/fly a lot, if I remember correctly, so I wouldn’t be surprised if she didn’t tour but did a residency somewhere going forward.
I know I’m too scared to fly, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to travel, I just do it within my comfort zone.

Adele is a special artist and out of her generation, she deserves to be EGOT winner the most.

She’s gonna be in Vegas right through Grammy season!

Great. Maybe they will start promoting the album again with another single and some TV performances in September/October/November.

From those sale dates announced so far, it looks like only people who previously had tickets or were on the pre-sale waitlist (or whatever it's called) for the cancelled shows will be able to get tickets (which is fair of course), but they mention adding 8 additional shows, so I wonder if new people will ever be able to sign on and get tickets? I would consider going myself, assuming there are some cheaper seats that aren't too exorbitant. Does anyone know the price range for the tickets?
