Do people think there'll be a 4th single then? I had a feeling she was going to finish on the 3rd single. Nothing to base that on though.

I think, or maybe hoping more than anything, that Water Under The Bridge will be the 4th single. She seems to have performed it more often than most of her other album tracks and I think it will be good for her to do another mid-tempo single rather than a predictable big ballad in All I Ask.

WUTB definitely - Heart played it a lot after 25 was released and it was one of the better performing cherry picks too I believe. That to be released September sort of time and maybe then Million Years Ago to close the era? I don't see why we wouldn't get at least a fourth single if we remove my optimism for a fifth.

I think maybe like last time there could be a soft/half-hearted 4th single (but then she seems more present promotion wise this era, so maybe not)

'Water Under the Bridge' screams single release but I can totally see 'All I Ask' getting a release instead following the huge reception it's had following various performances. It is a wonderful song as well so I certainly wouldn't be disappointed, but I feel after 'Send My Love' has already gone down incredibly well (and looks set to be bigger than 'When We Were Young') I think it would be nice for her to take another '''risk''' and release something not quite so predictable.

 

I can't see her going for anything other than those two though. I mean the whole album is stunning but I don't see how anyone could look passed those two songs.

River Lea deserves a release :(

The whole album is available to stream now, so maybe that is it for singles? I can imagine All I Ask coming out in the Autumn though with Send My Love being the official summer single through till September.

i want miss you to be released ;(

I love Remedy :'(

She shoulda released Send My Love second as I said all along!! When We Were Young is not great tbh and never got the fuss. Water Under The Bridge should be 4th and shoulda been 3rd with anything else to finish it.

I want Water Under the Bridge or a Million Years Ago

I don't understand the love for All I Ask. It's good but it's not up there with SLY, Hometown Glory, TT and Hello in terms of her strongest ballads. I think the success of SML compared with WWWY shows people want something different from Adele as a single. Therefore WUTB, River Lea or I Miss You would be the best options. WUTB screams the obvious choice but I think River Lea would be pretty decent as well.

 

Maybe then wrap the era up with Million Years Ago at the Brits / Grammys for one last sales push.

WUTB next single, River Lea after and Miss You to finish it - incidentally most of me faves from the album!

Really hoping she chooses 'Water Under the Bridge' next, it's by far my favourite track remaining. :wub: I could see it doing excellently, despite being the 4th single from a 3m+ selling album.

Yeah I'd really like WUTB next too. I think it just about manages to differentiate itself from her usual fodder and it is just an extraordinary song. When the album came out and everyone was obsessed with 'When We Were Young', it was 'Water Under The Bridge' that I couldn't get enough of.

WUTB would be perfect for the run up to Christmas - they can release Remedy/IMY as the last single to coincide with the 2017 Grammys. I don't think they should release AII as a single - it's done its job.

 

In terms of spotify streams, Remedy has the most followed by WUTB. However, Remedy was on the new music playlist when the album was first released so got a boost from that.

I don't agree with the WWWY comments. I love that and SMLTYNL but regardless of what came after Hello, it was always going to seem as an underperforming single.

I believe the first track on the playlist too! It seemed a bit of an odd choice to me, obviously musical tastes are subjective but there's more interesting and more talked about songs on the album that I would have thought would have been chosen instead. 'Remedy' is kinda just Adele by numbers.

I felt like this about Remedy at the beginning but I think listening to the whole album made Remedy grow on me massively especially with links to WUTB, MYA and SD.

I presume in order for people to hear more of the album? "Hello"/"When We Were Young"/"Send Your Love (To Your New Lover)" are singles and "All I Ask" got some key promotional slots which boosted it very well. From what I remember as well, "Million Years Ago" got sung on a couple promo slots and was featured in a Target TV advert in the US (as well as "Water Under The Bridge"). I believe "Remedy" hadn't gotten that much exposure and it was one of the higher tracks on iTunes when the album came out (I believe it was higher than "Water Under The Bridge" on iTunes in the US - although not by much).
