This year has been rather bad for pop music and charts, especially because of BTS "chart success", if Adele will rule the rest of the year, I would call it the most destructive pop music year ever...

What? I thought pop was dominating all year - even despite BTS’ fans’ cheating.

Piano riff sounds great. Sounds like it will be slower than "Hello," but not quite as depressing as SLY or AIA.

I want another 'When We Were Young' - Also, is it already confirmed that she's releasing her album on 11/19? Reason why Taylor adjusted RED?

Pretty much confirmed at this point, and it follows her usual release pattern of album a month after the lead. Taylor basically confirmed it herself by moving because she wants to secure her week at #1.

I’m sorry but that sounds so lame of Taylor. Lol Why lame? Taylor will likely sell 300k+ with Red… why should she settle for #2 when that number would easily be #1 in most other weeks. I’d say it’s savvy and a great business move. She put in the work, she obviously is a chart geek, what’s so lame about it?

I’m sorry but that sounds so lame of Taylor. Lol not at all lame. record labels coordinate all the time with each other to ensure major releases get their moment before the next one. it's common courtesy - this is also why chart battles for #1 debuts are rare and far between.

Can you all please stop with this tom foolery? Taylor did NOT push back her album because of this phony and her impending flop. Let's get that straight, okay?

Yeah the only ones who see the move as a negative toward Taylor are those who just wanted to see her lose to begin with against whoever possible. Like artists and labels alike do this kind of thing literally all the time.

According to American Vogue Greg Kurstin produced this one and it is in fact a piano ballad.

Let’s just hope and pray it’s better than anything she’s done before.

That’s a tall bar. She’s released several gems. I don’t think Hello is better than her 21 #1s, but it was still great and a big event. I’ll be content with a quality song -Adele has LOTS of those- with great vocals. I AM looking forward to a real bop though! Hey, some dance tune would be great. I wouldn’t even mind a rap lol that Nicki Minaj rapping was cool lol
In any caer I’m LOVING the hype! I was missing this type of earth shattering moment in pop. And I’m ready for an Adele album bomb

I don't mind a piano ballad as the lead single, it's her brand and she's coming back with something familiar. I just hope the second single and the rest of the record in general has more upbeat tracks.

I hope she at least still has that banger from the op on the album, cause I sure can't take yet another ballad

Y'all are setting yourselves up. "Better than anything she's done before", "opening to 300k downloads", "album has to open above 2 million"... I know Adele has set a high bar but still...

I know to expect big, but idk how big. The thing about “Hello” was that it was an instant meme and that helped it go viral. I don’t think this song will have the same punch. But we’ll see.
