I know it's probably up to 2 years away but with the 25 era officially over () let's get the ball rolling with discussing Dame Adele's next world saving collection!
What do we expect from her? I'd really like her to expand out the sound she had going with River Lea and I Miss You out more - easily two of the best songs. Could we even get a HAPPY album?!?! Sweetest Devotion was fab and I think with some more polished instrumentals a happy album could actually work for her. Maybe she will come back and shock everyone with a happy banger? Hopefully there will be less pressure on her this time, now she's proved 21 wasn't just a fluke success for her.
In terms of date PLEASE before 2019 but I can't see it happening I reckon she'll go for a February release date in 2019 like her first two albums, but I hope for Autumn 2018.
Adele is coming with an album influenced by Kelis's 'Food'
Ahhh the finale was spectacular, cancellation of the final two dates aside. That taxi :pic:
As I mentioned in the Pink forum, I'd love Adele to go into songwriting for other artists until the release of her next album. I loved her work wit Sia and Tobias Jesso Jr on Alive and branching out with others for writing might lead to her discovering new producers like she did with 25. It's unrealistic but I can hope I would love a Q4 release as she's more than capable of dominating () and ensuring first week sales. Rant aside something in the lines of Water Under The Bridge would be fab - I think an upbeat lead would really surprise people! #SelfTitledAlbumPlease
Sweetest Devotion is AMAZING
An album like that would be
That ikonek taxi shot makes her look like the Spices.
Think 25 will be her last album. Just can't see another one coming.
If she is releasing... then I doubt she's started writing it yet. I just hope we get another Hello type song with the album getting a Q4 release. Although saying that she may get a bit lost if she released Q4..
Adele.
Lost.
In Q4.
Adele.
Adele.
Lol.
Lol.
Her last album when she has specifically stated she will release more lmaooo.
I was joking of course
Damn it, thought there was a proper annoucement or even a surprise Xmas album when I saw this thread
Speaking of which, I would love it Adele did a Christmas album for next year. It wouldn't be too difficult to record - of course she would want a bunch of originals, but a decent amount of the songs would likely be covers. It'd be a great way to keep her name out + voice out there every year whilst taking a long while to record her studio albums. Plus I'd just love to see the jawdropping sales it'd have and to finally knock Bublé off his Christmas throne!
Not related to new music (sorry!) but I am absolutely screaming at Adele's Halloween outfit that she posted on her Instagram!! I actually thought she was a Drag Queen until I saw her username attached 😬😂
We won't get new music from her until Autumn 2020 I think!
New music coming very soon!!!
......October 2019
I'm hopeful of February 2019 or sooner. I don't think Sony will be happy signing her for £90m and then having to wait so long for an album
I think after 25 she will be pushed for Q4 releases. Interesting point about Sony though, they’ll definitely be more pushy than XL.
She would definitely release the next album in Q4 for those huge opening sales.
Wonder if the next album will be bigger than 25.
I’ll guess it will be bigger than 19 for certain.
Hope it does well
Can't imagine it being bigger but you never know!
If she achieves another 20 million selling album I am going to be so impressed! She is surely guaranteed to have a hit album but whether it will be a colossal album like the last two who knows.
This thread is about 3 years premature Have to hand it to her though - she always waits the right amount of time between albums and keeps herself out of the limelight in between so there is always a bigger demand when she does return.
Is she releasing Fastlove then?
Rumours on twitter since early October claiming a December release.
?! about 9 months late if true
Think it’ll be similar to Gerri and her George track, more of a commemorative piece than a commercial piece.
omg okay I just saw the studio snippet on twitter and already slayed. The full version better be released!
Fresh rumours of an imminent "Fastlove" release are circulating as Adele's odds of being Christmas #1 have shortened. The Daily Express have written an "exclusive" article and 'Freedom' (the George Michael documentary that the studio version was recorded for) is due to be repeated on Christmas Day. Very excited to hear the full version, thank God that Kevin didn't win X Factor to ruin her chances!
I heard it wasn't coming now I guess we'll find out in a few hours! Adele to be our Christmas miracle and save the charts pls
https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/5141408/adele-rumoured-to-be-releasing-tribute-song-for-grenfell-victims-and-favourite-to-be-christmas-no1/
I know it's The Sun but they're speculating a Grenfell tribute too! Queen of rumoured releases which never materialise *_*
23 being Album 3 was my favourite of fake rumours
So is it true???
For the bookies to slash it that much they must know some inside info? Especially by tht much, the rumours might have shortened the odds a bit but that's huge!
I'm excited if true, another number 1 for her and on Christmas too!
She would SO deserve it, especially over Ed bloody Sheeran, and ao would the Grenfell families - and to do it with a George Michael song!!! Wow.
The Sun is trash, but second to none on celeb inside info...
Knew it
Things have been very quiet from her lately. Could she drop an album on us next month? I personally think it’s coming next year but it’s already almost three years since 25.
It's definitely going to be 2019
And the album title will be 29 if the release date is for next year
Could it beat the opening week sales of 25 here in the UK? I wouldn't bet against it. The hype will be so big.
I think 2019 is a little too early if we are to go by the gap between 21 and 25. Her team might schedule the album release around the 2020 BRIT's/Grammy's rather than chase the pre-Christmas sales. It'll sell big regardless.
She pens the title of age based on album writing time; in this case rumours seriously flew around this year so if it were to be after her age (which she has denied a few times) then it would be 30.
I just can't see her releasing anything until 2020 at least.
Don't care about the sales. She has more than proved herself on that. She has also proved herself as the best singer of the generation. Loads tried and failed to copy and ended up screeching Hope the album is AMAZING full of Sweetest Devotion moments
I really cant see anything comes from Adele before 2020 either.
Did she not say during her Carpool Karaoke appearance that 25 would be her last album named after her age?
She did
It will be called something else
She did but unless something massively poignant happens I can see her backtracking imo.
There was a post on Twitter that said as she has claimed to believe in trilogies that the next three albums will be Adele, Laurie-Blue and Adkins
I hope so I'm totally ready for new Adele, I bloody love her! Totally gutted I missed out on tickets to see her
Her comeback needs to be as equally iconic and well executed as "Hello"...looking back that was SO well done and particularly compared to how her eras are usually handled.
Is Adele with a new label now or is she still with XL?
Im really intrigued as to what sound she will follow on this album. Of her albums for me 25 is her strongest but I do enjoy her first two but 25 just feels so strong for me. What I love of all her albums though is they’re all relatively short in length but they’re no skippable songs on any of her albums quality over quantity.
I do feel this album we may possibly have a featured artist on there though I don’t know what’s making me think this but I feel we may get one this time around.
For me 25 is her worst and a big drop in quality, especially the lyrics
I actually only like 1 song, All I Ask
Seems to me 25 didnt come from the guts like 21
you can see it in the lyrics
It was like autopilot Adele
I feel like Adele's lyrics have always been simplistic tbh.
But she's great at conveying the emotion with simplicity. I think that's probably her appeal.
25 is actually my favourite album by far.
21 is my favourite album it's utter perfection from start to finish I adore it!
1. 21
2. 25
3. 19
Looks like she's might be coming this year after all...she's been spotted at a recording studio in the past week and the increasing public appearances...
What public appearances?
Wouldn't it be iconic if this album had a chart run of 64-115-OUT?
There's literally zero chance of that happening though.
Adele was in the news the other day cos she was in a gay bar or something,
but not sure how you can extrapolate from that
that a new album is coming
Fans on Twitter are drawing comparisons to 2015 where she walked around with her laptop which she has been doing recently which is straw clutching but would make sense if she has said she is working on new material.
I really hope she’s got a good theme or concept for this album though.
at least we know she3's working on it, who knows when it will be finished
She literally just posted this to Instagram and made it her profile picture:
ain't she just celebrating their win last night?
If it’s coming this year I imagine it’ll be late October / November at the earliest before we do hear anything.
i can't believe that this nov will be 4 years since 25! i remember listening to hello for the first time like it was yesterday. her naming her albums after her age always makes me realise what i was doing when it was released cos i'm always the same age.
She’s split from her husband now.
So I guess there may be a change in sound of this album now due to this.
Or she may have split at the start of recording and only announced it now.
However I do feel this will influence the sound.
Great, now we know what the next album is about and the one after it will be about the reconciliation.
Best news ever!
That means '30' will be an amazing album. She will now have a lot of inspiration.
Someone Like You - Part 2 is coming.
Let’s bask in someone’s misery
Yeah 'best news ever' - bloody hell
I was joking, of course.
I'm sure she will be fine. She is a strong woman.
i feel likes won't actually talk about this break up as much as the ones in the past
Can't wait for her "my puppy died" album
I think her comment on her birthday IG post pretty much confirms she's sticking with age albums and it will be 30
I'm also here for the joke about it being drum & bass...
I want a full-on 90s-esque trance album with heavy vocoder.
2019 has peaked *.*
Her comeback single is expected to be released in November. She has been working with Mark Ronson, Ryan Tedder, Paul Epworth and Jim Abbiss.
O m f g
So excited for it!
Literally can’t wait - bangers or ballads I’m here for it!
Honestly, going with an uptempo lead is probably the best thing she could do right now.
I am so ready for some more Adele!!! Hoping she comes back and smashes everyone out of the water!!
oh didn't know she had worked with Ronson in the past
cannot recall any song cowritten with him
An uptempo lead sounds interesting!
Uptempo lead and big ballad for single two would be a great strategy for release.
Hyped for more Adele, especially upbeat. I really liked ‘Send My Love’ which was quite upbeat, so if it’s similar I’ll be happy.
Ready for Adele's How Do You Sleep moment tbh
I'm excited to see what she will come back with.
wow so she’s really going to come back Rollier than ever before?
It does NOT feel like 4 years since 'Hello' oh my god. I hope she comes back with something fresh and reinvents her sound a little bit.
what I want from Adele is good music, with good lyrics, don't need her to reinvent herself or anything
I didn't really like her last album - hoping this is a return to form!
Ryan Tedder?!
Halo Part 3 incoming then.
no way, agree it's her worst, totally uninspired, don't like a single song
21 is her best for me
Don't you listen to Taylor Swift?!
It was veeery inspired and a great album.
November 8th seems to be when Twitter sites think this will be released.
Although there’s absolutely nothing been said from Adele herself.
Surely 19 is by far and away her most inferior album?
I can't at the suggestion 25 was uninspired. Wow.
really? so soon? we should have the single by now if true
I was thinking late November to coincide with Black Friday
I think the 22nd or 29th feels more likely.
I wonder if we’ll get another advert out of the blue style though during X Factor or some other big show.
On the topic of what’s her best / worst albums I think each album has got better.
25 is my favourite.
Wasn’t there also rumours that the lead single is uptempo?
Only four weeks away! Surely that would mean the lead single could be released as soon as next week if this is true. I guess it's possible as 'Hello' was first teased on October 18th and was released the 24th, then the album 4 weeks later, but just seems crazy that it could be so soon!
for me 25 is my least favourite, barely like 1-2 songs, so hope it's a return to 21, with songs coming from there guts, unlike the ones in 25, which lack something
Adele albums ranked for me: 21 > 25 > 19
25 is my favourite album by far.
It does feel like we're in that stage where Adele could drop a teaser or even the single at any moment!!
Omg imagine her on like a heartbreak on the dancefloor banger!!
I reckon it's gonna be something similar tho sam smith - dancing with a stranger
that would be different but still wouldn't put her fanbase off
Single coming Friday apparently (Ultimate Music)
Wow so that's the Christmas top album sewn up and year's best seller too if she releases. Hope it's as good as 21 and 25.
EDIT. 8TH November for album according to same source.
25 is her best album by miles!
Is it a rumour still that it will be self-titled?
Can’t it be called Godele instead
Well that's why I was underwhelmed by the release lists - the record industry knew this was coming!!
Prob why Ed released in the summer too!
Really hope she takes a creative risk with this album
There might be an uptempo lead but there'll be a standard ballad too!
So here for this and all those Q4 faves missing out on #1
I bet it’s Adele ft. Skepta
I am excited to hear new Adele material.
I did not expect a release this year.
Adele will easily sell hugely in this quarter and take top selling album of the year very quickly.
From a Music Week article today
is it really gonna be Adfele ft Nicki Minaj? can that woman retire for real please
She's obviously lying
sounds fishy indeed
Nicki Minaj and Adele have teamed-up on a collaboration, Entertainment Tonight exclusively reports.
"But Adele made me swear to secrecy that I'm not allowed to tell anyone that I'm working with her. And that we already shot a video. And it's an epic song!“ - Nicki Minaj
I'll believe it when I see it, but also don't really want it. I don't think the two of them together on a song would work.
I'm kinda surprised Adele doesn't have her own artist forum on here.
she used to but it became very inactive as she takes long breaks between albums and doesn’t do a lot of promo/social media between eras.
I hope we get another iconic massive song like Hello From The Other Side. Unfortunately, we won't have KoA for another genius parody
I just swallowed a thousand leaaaves!
I think the collab sounds more like Adele is gonna be a feature on a Nicki track
When it comes to Adele’s album I don’t think we’re gonna get a lead single being a collab
I’m a bit gutted that of all the people to work with though she chose Nicki!
Speaking of Adele, she has got some new relevance recently with ha song being used for this vid:
It's Make You Feel getting incidental promo just before she returned to remind everyone of her all over again!!
She should say all this to Ed Sheeran tbh. Very jealous!
Have we ever had an Adele singles rate? Did someone want to do one to capitalise on the news of her bringing out something new?
I would, but I'd rather an actual stan/fan host it (I take her more on a song by song basis lol)
i think it’s pretty lame of artists to keep dropping her name to bring some hype to their projects.. regardless of who they are.
it’s the 2019 celebrity version of saying something on msn + then going “that was my friend”
I’m so happy it wasn’t true!!!!
Although it was probably Nickis best chance to ever get herself a US #1 or a Grammy x
Thank God its not true
What sn attention seeker, really hope she retires
Told y'all x
Still no announcement. Hmm
Has Radio 1 said anything this week?
Lmaoooo I knew Nicki was lying...that would have been random af
If the single doesn’t even up coming tomorrow
I never believed it anyway, I feel like those who did are pretty gullible.
haha I believed it 100% but Im pretty naive
but what artist in their right mind would like about being featured in another artist's album
plus it made sense cos Adele mentioned being a fan of Nicki Minaj's rapping, she did he3r Monster part win the Karaoke driving thingie
boo nothing happened
was it just rumourology :/
She must have heard Harleys in Hawaii was coming out and got cold feet.
Is there an outside chance that the album is just gonna come out of nowhere without a single?
Maybe we’ll get the entire album plus a video for the song she’s pushing as a single on the same day.
Is there not a chance it could still come later today? 'Hello' wasn't a midnight release.
any chance no new music before 2020?
Artists like Adele thrive on Christmas sales, I think it would be a strange desicion to release it early next year.
Nicki Minaj has confirmed she’s filmed a video for Adele what’s an upcoming single
What a let-down.
I had a feeling it wouldn’t get released today. There’s been no teaser or anything yet or even rumours from credible sources like radio stations teasing it...
I'd say there's a decent chance for week-apart single/album release next month.
I genuinely believe Adele is the one artist where it won't matter what period she releases, right now. Aha. It's crazy. Ofc I'm sure we're all expecting a dip in opening week sales etc.. Even if it was Q1 or 2, I feel like she'd get such a huge opening and just have ridiculous longevity to grab herself another 3m+ selling album in total.
I reckon for bigger artists it makes more sense to release in Q1/Q2 tbh, they get huge sales early on in the year then a huge Christmas boost just as their sales are beginning to slow. Whereas smaller artists or “only buy as a present” artists benefit a lot more during Q4.
true, people like Alfie Boe I'm sure he's always released in November or Westlife
Yeah!!
Adele is someone who’d do really well whenever released.
Ed’s never had a Q4 release either has he and he’s the only person this decade who I can match to being on Adele’s level for album sales.
I do think her team would try and push for a pre Christmas release though.
Another week and more rumours...
Apparently she's been booked to appear on Jimmy Fallon tonight and Kimmel tomorrow...? Hmmm. I guess we'll know VERY soon if that's right or wrong.
I hope it's real, I hope it's not just gonna be a case of a new rumour that comes to nothing every week
At this point it just feels like people are making up rumours every week because it's fairly believable she's coming any Friday now
last week I believed it all, even the Nicki Minaj duet so this week I'm being more cautious
doubt she'll release same day as Coldplay
Seems to be a lot of news articles abuzz today that there's a new video currently set to 'Private' on her YouTube channel... could she be about to pull a big Q1 surprise out the bag?
I hope so! I’ve really missed her and I’ve been listening to 25 a LOT lately!
For me so far all of her albums have gotten better so hoping this follows that trend. Plus with what happened in her personal life too I’m guessing that would provide plenty scope of material.
September!!! That’s AGES away!!
I'd say it was earlier than expected tbh - I was fully prepared for another Q4 release. Hopefully this means we'll get a lead single in the lead up to the summer.
Thats great news!
I think Gaga's return is imminent
not Rihanna though, for what I understood she just went into the studio with Pharrell last week
September sounds pretty spot on with what to expect, means the album has time to sell through the build up to Xmas with 2-3 singles.
Yes as Medellin says expect a single in July then. Adele is t one for releasing 5 singles pre album!
I'm shook with her transformation...I don't recognize her any longer lol
OH MY GOD. She looks STUNNING. She was beautiful before the weight loss but she looks incredible tbh. I'm floored.
She looks like Sara Cox
I'm really flabbergasted at her change tbh! I always thought she looked quite natural at the size she was. I think this has got to be one of the biggest celebrity transformations, up there with MJ & Lil Kim
I love the new look
She was always pretty before though, particularity in the face area but she looks great now!
What a transformation. I like that she’s pretty much done this for her now as well it’ll actually be interesting to see how the next era does though with this new image
She looks amazing
She looks iconic
Will be strange seeing her performing looking like this as she looks so different.
A transformation! I just hope this was a healthy weight loss and isn't to do with any external pressures, she looks completely different and she was pretty beforehand!
She looks great! Don't think she would be the type to be pressured. She was quite obese and although she looked great a BMI of over 30 is not great...diabetees, heart problems, cholesterol etc..she probably did it for her.
^ Can we not? You cannot assume someone’s BMI and health issues
took me like 3 hours to understand the post, I couldn't figure out who the person was
her face has totally changed
Her body transformation is stunning. However I think she has lost her facial looks imo, she looked more “pretty” the way she was - controversial but just my opinion.
I also think she looked prettier before, but of course she can do whatever she wants
To look at her in her 19 era days and to look at her now... indeed like a completely different person!
The public neeever respond well to drastic image changes. Well, at least she dominated music for a few years!
She looks so stunning! From what I've read, it was her decision to lead a healthier life style for her child - which is quite respectable.
Can't wait for the next album - I hope it's still coming this year and hasn't been delayed due to covid-19.
Wow she looks incredible
As long as she’s happy that’s the main thing, irritates me when people are like ‘she looks great NOW’. Her weight and looks don’t define her. She’s a beautiful woman all round. 💙
Sure, looks aren't the be all and end all, but let's not pretend they're not a significant part of a person. I don't see what's wrong with saying how great she looks or applauding her for the hard work and dedication she's put into losing weight.
She does look gorgeous and seems so happy with life right now, it makes me happy for her.
Really hope it's out this year, really craving some new Adele
Adele's musical comeback delayed, her manager confirms
https://www.digitalspy.com/showbiz/a32982160/adele-album-delayed/
i believe she is feeling blessed and highly favoured
I'm glad the manager furthered on her comment a bit... as I thought it came of as a bit conceited? Like the music wasn't going to come out during covid...
She would sell loads without the tour but im sure they are holding off to get the maximum from the new album whenever it comes but i think that will be next year, i cant see anything coming this year.
Adele pls! Save 2020 and release the album
Anyone think that potentially she’s gonna do a Taylor / Beyoncé and just drop it or realistically is it not coming anytime soon.
Not my optimistic opening post from 2017 thinking it would be here by 2019 at the latest and now here we are entering Q4 2020 still without any news of an album or even a single...
It won't come out until she knows she can safely tour stadiums all over the world.
I love how we have nothing from any new album but have 12 pages already here 😂
Change the topic name to "november 2020"
Hopefully she releases on the 27th blocking Gary
I believe it when I'm able to stream it x
It would be quite nice for her to drop the lead single on 23 October (i.e. exactly 5 years after Hello) and then album a month later like last time...
I'd still want Steps as high as possible tbh
Bloody hell it's happening
what a week next week would be if Adele and Ariana both happen to release their lead singles..
(but yeah, when it comes to Adele's comeback I'll only believe it when I see it)
omg
She's hosting the show, H.E.R. is the musical guest
Yeah, I can't see her releasing anything (maybe an announcement or something to get people talking?) but we'll see. Her being a host is intriguing enough though. At most she'd have a collaboration with H.E.R. maybe?
Adele hosting is a bit odd since she's never really shown interest in such things?
Apparently Album coming 30th!!
Album is 100% coming, no way Adele comes out and does this with nothing to promote, she doesn’t do anything publicly unless it’s album related.
She literally said on Instagram she is just hosting SNL as a stand alone kind of thing didn't she?
I'm here for new music though.
As the Twitter replies say
Yasss end Ariana x
She’s just not the type to do promo without music so it must be imminent!! 😭
even if new music doesn't come out next Friday
sure this is the start of the roll out for the new era
Something is 100000000% being announced next week
Adele stopping Kylie and little mix, the gays of he site remain broken
The 30th is just rumours based on one story putting 2 and 2 together and making 7, as usual. However, I seriously hope we are now well on the path to something new
It's never happening.
I'm not getting my hopes up, I see it being 2021 at this rate but I'd like to be proven wrong
October 30 seems possible for a single release but not an album!
I’d say the album must be almost ready to go and the recording should be done though. She’s very smart Adele she’d surely have something setup to go and she’s just waiting for the best way of announcing it.
I’m thinking either a November 20 or November 27 release date for the album.
If an album is coming next month, it should be November 27. There's no way that she will drop the album the same week as BTS because Columbia is handling the promotion of both of them.
In that case it would be wise for BTS to go first as Adele would sell like crazy in her initial weeks.
Her week two sales will still probably be way more than what everyone else this year has done in week one (bar maybe Taylor in the US). So BTS should still get the #1 if they release that week and Adele goes the week after.
I'm excited to see her on SNL!
Very excited to see her hosting, she is one of the funniest singers out there, so I am sure it will be a blast (although it will be a challenge for her not to swear!).
And I am sure something music related will come soon as well, Adele always disappears between albums and it would be very unlike her to do SNL out of the blue, with nothing music related to be released anytime soon. Just hope she won't go for November 5.
There's no way she's going to perform on SNL... that would be so disrespectful to H.E.R. (who I'm unfamiliar with).
New picture on SNL.
She confirmed during her monologue that 'the album is not finished (yet)' at SNL.
So as expected, it's not happening
She was great on SNL.
The album is most likely finished from her part but not mastered yet and it's no wonder if it's coming late November.
And I can’t see her releasing outside of Q4 either so that’ll be next November then
I just love her personality, it's electrifying.
Tbh I don't think she's releasing anything this year
I was really expecting an announcement but I do think it’s coming fairly soon!
I wouldn’t be too shocked if she opted to release this early next year tbh. It all depends on if the album is in the process of mastering or if she’s still recording etc but it’s great to see her again anyways
She moght premiere it around the Grammys
There's no way the album is not finished yet. She is probably sitting on it in the hope that the pandemic will be over soon, so she can tour stadiums.
There's a lot of money on the table to be made from this album, hundreds of millions of dollars from ticket & album sales. This album will also be her first for Columbia & Sony. They need to make sure everything is ready for her official return. Heads will roll if mistakes in the campaign happen.
That moment when people still think this is imminent when she literally said it's not finished
All the speculation is helping get a few extra sales of 21 and 25.
She could release the album as stream version this Q4, then release CD in January-February, and announce the tour together seeing the atmosphere around COVID next year.
Otherwise I can't understand this one-off performance at SNL. Everybody remembers Adele. There is no special need to give this appearance just to remind people that she is still here.
Anyway, we will see
Is she not allowed to do something just because she wants to do something for fun? She’s never done this type of thing before so it’s a new challenge and she probably wanted to focus on it outside of an intensive promo schedule. Not everything is about promo!!
There’s no way an artist like Adele does a split release schedule either given she’s one of the last remaining artists who can sell tonnes of physical copies.
love how everyone has direct access to >Ade3le's brain and know what she thinks, what she wants to do etc etc
Adele isn't even allowed to her own social media... there's no way SNL wasn't a calculated move. Obviously when the booking had taken place; the album was going to be released and they've decided to hold back the release but honour the SNL performance?
Adele's confirmed on Instagram that she's not releasing anything this year
Lol
Let's play a game... what will come first: Adele's album or the new Bond film?
Now can we please stop with the entirely baseless assumption that she simply MUST be releasing an album imminently if she does literally anything in public. xxxx
Her Instagram caption did say 'peace out til next year' - inb4 that's just her doing SNL again next October
The periodic 'Adele is coming in the next couple of weeks' rumours are back
This time we can blame Hits Daily Double who've teased a few times that she's planning a return at the Grammys. We'll know next week if that's true or not
I would love a surprise release with her launching her lead with a Grammys performance. Please be true!
Caption 'Thirty Free' on her bday IG post...if that isn't her album title I'll be fuming x
Apparantley there are rumours of Adele releasing something this month. I don't have any confidence in them given every rumour has been false the last year or so though.
This is literally like the 5th time there have been rumours of Adele releasing something 'this month', it's honestly just tiring at this point. I wish people would can the speculation until she actually announces something herself.
I agree, though I tend to avoid most speculation. I’ll be excited when ever something is officially announced.
i don't expect any new Adele music until the ability to tour again comes up...
Adele plans Christmas comeback with new album and first live gig in four years
https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/adele-plans-christmas-comeback-new-25017075?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mirror_main&fbclid=IwAR3OdsJUIoKVdJIW-iGw4DpYzulV16se1oR2goEn2HWIPFmbTI60J1UrekE
Oh my what a final quarter it’s going to be!
I just want to know why we're getting multiple articles mentioning that Sony are 'believed' to be releasing the album in November when Adele / Sony themselves have yet to directly say anything. Surely at this point they might as well be confirming the rumours if they are true?
in The Mirror as reliable as the Sun?
Tbf the amount of times Adele has been rumoured to release just before Christmas in the past few years, the papers will eventually be correct!
I assume the papers are just finally picking up on the internet rumour that was doing the rounds about AMC scheduling the Adele concert special on December 10th.
with the ability to tour again, it is possible.
November MIGHT be a thing as 'Hello' was released at the end of October.
Well i hope it's for this year.
I don't want to give dates, but these ones, which have been mentioned by different sources, have been floating so far.
• Insider #1 (from ATRL): Single: 08/10 | Album: 05/11
• Insider #2 (from Pulse Music Board): Single: 15/10 | Album: 19/11
The latter also mentioned that the album is titled 30.
fingers crossed it's finally coming, would be crazy if it were released on the same day as ABBA
19th November is definitely more likely for the album I’d imagine.
Can’t see her releasing same day as ABBA but imagine the chart battle if she did!
Adele vs. Abba would be a bloodbath 😭
I wonder if Adele’s gonna be on streaming from day one this time.
Thinking it’s probably more than likely she will as streaming counts for way more than it did back in 2015. But really intrigued at how her single does in pure sales as I think it could be the biggest selling non charity release for a while.
IF Adele releases i want it to be a seperate week to ABBA, Ed Sheeran etc, let all the big releases get their week/s at number 1 as the albums market needs a good sales boost and Abba, Adele and Ed Sheeran are 3 releases that can do that. I miss the days of big album sales or weeks when albums consistently sold 100k plus.
she always had her singles on streaming
Adele & Taylor would be a huge selling top 2 in the US if 19th November is the actual release date.
Didn't she say at some point that she wasn't going to be continuing the pattern of naming her albums after her age though?
I really hope she does go the same week as ABBA just to watch the insanity unfold.
It’s true that releasing Ed’s album on the 29/10 is a huge sign something must be coming in late November or he would have pinpointed that date as it’s closeness to Christmas would mean even higher sales!
None of Ed's previous albums were even released in Q4...
yeah i don't think we can underestimate 'red'... even though there's been a slight Taylor overload, with the 10 minute version of 'All Too Well' coming, I imagine 'Red' will be HUGE.
Why on earth she calling it 30, she's 33....
The Taylor album is definitely on the 19th, that was announced ages ago.
she said in an interview a while ago that album 4 wouldn't be called after her age (at the time of recording it)
I think calling it just Adele would be an even stronger statement
I’m praying for an Adele release in November. It’ll be nice to have a proper sales boost in Q4 with her, Coldplay, Abba and Ed all releasing! How exciting!
Rihanna can wait now! Far too much going on
Rihanna is going to be indefinitely waiting regardless tbh
Which year?
guess its a single not the album?
I believe the 15th of October, don't think it's out this week? The announcement may come this week though.
Looking at the level of radio teasing and social media about this the single must be this Friday or next Friday unless we're in for the longest single build up in history.
2.5 weeks if it comes out on October 15? Aren't you exaggerating a bit
Where are you getting 15th October from?
Several "insiders" on discussion boards have said "november 19th for album and mid october a first single"
They have also attended the listening sessions.
Although, the GRAMMY cutoff date is in fact Thursday at 11:59pm so they might aim at that.
release same week as ed plz
i wonder who would win
From the rumours i’m seeing, i’m starting to expect the lead to be out this Friday (or at least an official announcement)! I’m so hyped
Surely she's not releasing a single this Friday? I would've thought her team would put out an official teaser or something to start the deluge of hype similar to the week before "Hello" was released.
Abba will flop. Taylor's Red will NOT be yuge, ecen if it's by far her best It's a re-recoedinh, Buxzjack, relax your breasts!! And Abba aren't even as big as the Spices or Westshite!! They'll get top 10 I guess. Maybe.
Taylor has just moved Red up to the 12th of November so I'm def thinking Adele is dropping on the 19th now!
That was my first thought too
Adele Nov 19 for sure
Adele getting Taylor to confirm her album release date for her
The UK isn't the reason she moved it. She wants to keep her #1 streak in the US. x
I still can't believe Adele is actually coming, omg *_* Finally.
The shets, taylor swift with a recording and Abba will not do anythin in the charts Like seriously! Assuage your expectarions, Fanjack!
Why are you so intent on hammering home the notion that ABBA will flop?
I can very easily see them pulling up to 200k first week and being a steady Christmas seller.
Has ABBA not already done 50-70k preorders?
The ABBA album already has over 80k pre-orders in the UK and broke the pre-order record. It'll do big numbers. I wouldn't be surprised if the album ended up selling 500k+ by the end of the year.
looks like no single then? but at least we know the release date... possibly
Well tbf I don't even follow the charts to know that Abba scraped the top 10 a couple of times! But it can't be that hard with streaming. Look at some of the dross top 10! 80k pre-orders? Well, ok, Abba fans are old. They probably think they have to pre-order in case there is a shortage of Abba cds next after the fuel and supermarket crises. Thry will do around 100k, which is ok for a week, but Godele will show them who's boss.
Although saying that... Adele is now second fiddle to the abysmal Ed Sheeran. She won't be so big this time around.
billboards of 30 are supposedly starting to appear
We’re definitely getting an announcement at any point now aren’t we.
This is the first time anything in relation to this album has felt real.
She’s really coming
oh Im properly excited now
Just imagine the power you have, when you can put on a billboard that says '30' and everyone immediately knows what it's about
Could this be finally happening?!
Omg those billboards.
THIS IS IT!!
Thie might not be it. Adele said it would be called Adele. This might just be some troll.
^Talking of troll, leave the thread please
Imagine if this isn’t Adele
Why am i the only one thinking these pictures are fake?
Adele isn't 30 x
She's never been the same age as the album titles. She writes the songs about her life experiences and then names the album of the age she was at the time.
Oooh this is all very exciting!!!!
So excited for this!!
It’s happening
She’s coming The blue background appearing on all her socials now!
Exciting!!! Hopefully lead single this week!
She needs to drop the teaser for the lead single already 😭
yes we need the single!
surely coming this friday
it will be interesting to see if she goes #1 on HHUK and TTH
She’s gonna break streaming records isn’t she?
Can easily see this getting 2m possibly on first day streams.
iTunes sales will also probably be really high for this too!
At least we'll know the answer to what does it take to stop Ed Sheeran now? It's Adele, kind of fitting
I think she's just trolling tbh... although I have heard a rumour r.e the new release!! Check the Spice forum for details!!!!
Woooo!!
She just announced this and straight afterwards Whatsapp, Facebook and Instagram are down. The power of Adele.
Looks like there's going to be an interview on BBC Radio 1 whenever the single drops.
Ha at the squid game reference!
I think the thread title can be changed to 30. It's pretty much confirmed.
Website has updated - https://www.adele.com/
I love how all her songs are rising across Spotify/Apple/iTunes etc based on billboards and social media changes.
If she has a lot of vinyls/signed CDs/Casettes/Deluxe editions etc ready, I wouldn't be surprised if this album almost matches 25's first week sales across the world. *_*
Adele turned 25 in 2013 but the album wasn't released until 2015. As stated many times before, the album is titled at the age it was written rather than how old she is now.
'Citing!
Ed must be raging that he's not going to get to beat Bryan Adams' record!
#1. Godele is back stronger, faster, Rollier than ever before. Rihanna and 1D will scream to the heavens: "Save us, oh merciless queen! Deliver us from our eternal void of writing credits and 5 hour stays at #1!"
And Godele will look down and simply whisper "no....”
I genuinely can’t wait for this! It has been so so long. Are any of her songs in the top 200 on Spotify at all with the hype? Twitter was going mad about her last night was so exciting to see!
any concrete news? is the single coming this Friday?
Can't wait to see if she change her music style.
yeah i imagine the original ides was to release music alongside her SNL appearance
Easy On Me. October 15. New Single!!!!
I can't wait!
POP EMERGENCY 🚨🚨🚨
Hide your faves. She’s coming.
Omg so Ed’s gonna match the chart record he’s trying to break and Adeles gonna stop him from breaking it
Poor Dua going to have to settle for another #2 with Cold Heart 😭😭
I don’t mind Ed but I was low-key hoping he’d match it but fall short of breaking it cos I just know he’ll be furious
I love it from the intro already! Welcome back Adele
Well, it is a ballad then. If it ain't broke, why fix it?
I am SO excited.
Can't wait! Also, how on earth isn't there an Adele forum?!
Looking forward to this.
Like the snippet. It reminds me of hearing the first bars of Hello.
Wonder if it will have that impact? I reckon a lot of people can remember where they were when they first heard Hello on full. I was in a Spanish hotel and blared it out…
Uff, sounds cheesy so far. Sounds NOTHING like Hello, which was really powerful in its opening notes. It sounds upbeat and cheesy, like an Ed Sheetan ballad.
I must be heading a different snippet, cannot really tell anything at all from the snippet
so much for a disco album lol...
i do hope 'put the kettle on' or whatever that rumoured title was is real
Im delighted she will be releasing and her sales are going to be vert interesting to watch, i hope its another huge era for her.
The fact that she is doing an almost two week buildup to the single release shows that Sony is not very confident she will smash out of the gate. They are being cautious after a 6 year break, and rightly so, I'd say.
Oh for Christ sake get a grip..
It's Adele, it would be silly not to give it a build up it's still going to do insane streams even curiosity ones.
As for the chords being weaker, their different which you'd expect after 6 bloody years
It sounds good, I cannot wait!
There's nothing wrong to do an almost two week buildup to release a song in my opinion. Ed Sheeran did the same with "Bad Habits", so...
I mean they had the advert for "Hello" on X-factor 5 days before it was released. There's nothing wrong with a build up. If anything it makes it that much more exciting!
The melody in the brief snippet sounds promising. I hope it's a massive cry your heart out ballad. Perfect for winter.
I'm sure Ed is going to be utterly irate that he might merely match this chart record that literally no one outside of BuzzJack has been talking about rather than beating it. x
(I've tried Googling this to see if it's something that anyone other than certain people on here is tracking and I see results about Ed Sheeran collaborating with Bryan Adams in 2019, and articles about 'Shape Of You' potentially being in contention to beat the Bryan Adams record, but absolutely nothing about the current run - I'd think because it's not really that notable if it's done with more than one song)
It's one thing to say that maybe Ed might be aware and want to break the record but are people really unironically suggesting that Adele chose her release date specifically to prevent him breaking said record? Why would Adele care lol ~
It’s only a 12sec snippet but I’m really liking what I’m hearing.
exactly, no one cares, and sure Adele doesn't
The only people who do care are BJers lol!
So much info to digest!!!! Here it comes:
Very interesting read I am so excited for this album!!
wow the lyrics already look great, she's always so relatable with the lyrics and always come from the hits (unlike Ed)
Does every post have to be a hit at Ed Sheeran Bjork?
Yes, as he is absolute TRASH.
Adele Daily is saying that “Easy on Me” is another Greg Kurstin production
This time next week!! So excited!!
I may need to revisit her other albums this week.
Easy On Me Snippet
Sounds lovely, I can't wait for this
Not feeling it at all, if a boyband and or some female singers previews that you would all be slating it. Really hope for more but sounds very middle of the road average ballad. I will try to reserve any more judgement till Friday.
Love the snippet. I bet it's going to build beautifully into a massive chorus. *_*
The snippet sounds very promising already.
I disagree, I think she reaches so many people cos her songs come from the guts and touches people
by comparison Ed Sheeran's music is like hospital food
Anyway, I sas right. The song sounds ABYSMAL. The chords aren't strong like Hello, and the lyrics are whack. ANYTHING from 25 is better and stronger than it ... and if that is the song they chose to open the album campaign with, then eek, unless it is another Gypsy/ Applause situation...
Surely Ed's music touches many people as well? Certainly his ballads...
All artists touch people with their music. Just not always the same ones. I would just argue that the reason Adele and Ed get such big sales is because they know what people want from them, rather than being particularly experimental.
I'm not even Ed's biggest fan but he has got some incredible songs especially some ballads.
Sounds like it's gonna be more of the same. But meh... if it ain't broke...
It sounds very safe! I hope it builds to a big chorus at least like "Hello" did (and that there will be some more experimental songs on the album).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the chorus already featured in the snippet that Adele has shared?
And the chorus sounds as flat as a pancake and the chords weak as non-cholesterol mayonnaise :')
I think we get your point by now, dude.
True about labels 😂 does make you wonder who makes some of the decisions. To be fair, I didn’t mind ‘Chained to the rhythm’.
the good thing about Ed is at least he has changed up his sound... another piano ballad from Adele seems too safe at this point. They know she's going to sell, why not try something else as the lead single?
'25' sure... as it was the follow-up to '21' and a way to gage if '21's success was a fluke or not.
Global release of "Easy On Me" this Friday at midnight UK time.
10am Australian time!! Excited!!
Missing out on Fridjar neet sales when Ed is planning a surprise release to go head to head and show he is the bigger force mmm
Oo yay glad its midnight UK time. Only 2 days to go *_*
queen knows her audience
no peppa pig collab 😪
Official confirmation of the November 19th date:
At least she finally confirmed what we all guessed anyway 🤣
If that’s the album cover then I love it!! What a lovely text as well.
I’m so ready now for this album her album releases always feel like huge events and I’m hopeful it’s gonna bring some pure sales back to the charts.
Welcome back Adele 5 weeks to go for the album!
