Yeah, I'm really hoping this means the era will be getting back on track and we finally get a third single.

I forget, why was it originally cancelled? She canceled on opening night because she claimed the show wasn't ready. Many people had already either landed or were about to land in Vegas and had already paid for hotels causing lots of people to be angry/annoyed. It took her months afterwards to say anything and she basically went back into hiding in between.

The VMAs are happening at the end of August and "Easy On Me" is nominated. Is it wishful thinking of me that she might perform/debut the video for "I Drink Wine" then and push it as a single? Not too disimilar to how they pushed "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)" with the video premiering at the BBMAs.
I do hope we get the album promo running again soon in some form. I feel that she has much less of a chance of a Grammys sweep the longer this period of quiet continues on for.

It took her months afterwards to say anything and she basically went back into hiding in between. Wasn't ready? I thought some of the crew had COVID. That was one of the reasons she gave but it was so much more that. When she announced the reschedules last week, she made note of wanting to get the right logistics of the show and that's why she postponed it. Besides, canceling a whole residency scheduled for months because a few crew members had COVID wouldn't have made sense. Canceling a few dates, sure. Canceling months worth of shows, no.

Adele has a long way to go to get right with the US fanbase. The news of the residency couldn't even get '30' into Top 100 iTunes. Think about how far she's 'fallen' - less than a year ago in anticipation of '30's' release, '25' flew into the Top 20 (or maybe higher).
The era *can* be salvaged: 1) release the 3rd single next week; 2) shortly before Vegas starts, drop a deluxe version of '30' with a promoted 'new' single to hype the residency and all the way through the Grammys. You know she'll certainly get some nominations and a performance slot. By that point, the residency disaster will just be a blip.

Press about the new dates had been nonstop in the news and on social media. Tickets are even going for $40k in resell on Stubhub. So no, she hasn’t “fallen” with US audiences, it’s simply that she isn’t actively promoting any music right now.

I think Adele is above the VMAs. I don't see her engaging with them. And she shouldn't tbh.

She will be fine and does not need the VMAs. The only awards her works have gotten from them have all been technical (Art Direction, Cinematography and Editing for 'Hello') with none directly applying to her. EOM and OMG will most certainly lose this year as well (Song & Art Direction, respectively). MAYBE OMG for Art Direction is in play, but because of the reduced impact I highly doubt it. She is not a huge spectacle artist in that sense, so none of this is surprising.

This era is done. Adele just bought a house with Rich. Sis about to collect her coin via her residency and peace out. I don’t know if Vegas going well would have changed anything. I’ve said it before, Adele is an anomaly in the current industry. There’s no room for an artist like her. She seems like a relic (a fond one) in a landscape that seems to only want two things: ratchetness and microwave pop. I can’t get upset with her. Why try to compete where you don’t care.

Even though 30 has been pretty lite on streaming, Adele has been underestimated on the streaming front overall. She has about four more songs that could reach 1 billion streams on Spotify alone by next year.

The material just didn’t live up to the hype this time, imo, and I think they knew that which is why they went overboard with the pre-release promo. Still some great tracks from the era though.

^Same. Second time I never made it off the waitlist. The demand to see Adele live must be higher than any other artist out there right now.

It's definitely interesting that after Oh My God underperformed, they just sort of stopped any promo at all. I actually expected OMG to do much better - it is certainly catchy and a pretty good song. It'll be interesting to see if they attempt any sort of third single.

the UK cover (on the right with the white coat) did her dirty. so many better shots they could have gone with! or maybe this is British taste :kii:
she also filmed this video. it's interesting hearing her thoughts on her songs, particularly the "Someone Like You" bit:

In the article, she talked about the cancellation and how it was the nadir of her career and also stated it was because she felt the show lacked "soul."

I assume they're gearing up for another promotional round for the album with her Elle covers/interview. She looks great on the US cover. I don't like the UK one though.

^ that's gotta be album equivalent units, right? her pure album sales globally should be closer to the 60-65 million range.

Neither covers are that great, tbh. I’m surprised.

She canceled a residency over a water feature?
