Does she no longer live in the UK? If so, why?

 

She lives in LA.

but the total is counted for 10 songs or 12. not sure i remember, probably 12, which means they are indeed not excluded but their extra streams are not counted and they are based on what the rest of the 10 songs do.

 

The total is for 12 songs.

She lives in LA. Because thats what lots of rich and famous people, who have such a connection to their home town, do when they are rich and famous :lol: . I can't blame her I'd do it like a shot for the weather alone!

Although a lot of them get sick of it or realise it's having a bad influence on their work. Alex Turner's moved to London which is a good sign for the next AM record.

LA is a shithole if your not mega rich!

So many uk artists (whether it’s current, former, successful, one hit wonder) live in the usa, not just LA. Some that spring to mind are Chris Martin, Calvin Harris, Annie Lennox, taio Cruz, Jay Sean, Cher Lloyd, joss stone, Leona Lewis, 80s bands or artists like Tears for Fears, Gary Numan, the vocalist from erasure, Bros, Dave Gahan (depeche mode), etc.

 

Sting, Eric Clapton, Billy idol, have Been living in the usa for so long they’re practically considered American!

 

Adele moved to LA I think in 2016ish but she’s kind of indicated she isn’t coming back. She gave some lame excuse About how she couldn’t afford property in London, so she moved to La!

Do you actively seek out her interviews? I haven't seen any with her. I know she did one with Oprah but that hasn't been shown in the UK. From the occasional snippets of talking I've seen her do she seems about as far away from being a 'Hollyweirdo" as a multimillionaire can be.

I live in the usa and it’s been non stop. She’s doing a lot of promo for both tv stations and digital (like YouTube). These are constantly repeated on breakfast shows, etc. - the times I have TV running in the background. American channels are so hyped up about this record that one station interviewed Oprah on her interview with Adele! Adele has a great PR team but they’re really over working the promo for this release in the usa.

 

Was so funny when ABC showed their interview with Oprah. They still started it showing an aerial footage of London - tower bridge on a rainy day because they probably wanted to make it look like Oprah interviewed her in London ! (Interview happened in la)

Yeah it genuinely seems like a horrible place to live. But it's a massive place and the rich and poor are completely segregated from each other, so for the celebrities, tech people and other "elites" it's probably quite nice. They have mansions and glamorous restaurants and nightclubs in secluded areas, often with literal gates and security guards.

Also, the suburban towns nearby are quite nice, esp as you get into

Orange County

Isn’t Adele’s ex American? I know she said they live opposite each other and share joint custody of their son, so makes sense if that is where he is based. I am sure the fact she can also be more secluded there helps (from my understanding the rate of tax is lower too but whether that is a factor is another matter).

 

Hoping this can be the first album to break 100k in streaming sales. Off to a good start and the special should help keep interest up over the week.

The American dream alright….

Having had a few listens I do really like this album, almost as good as 21 which is one of my all time favourites. Love the Amy whinehouse style jazzy interludes. The backing vocals I found quite amusing too. It’s more diverse than any of her other albums, more uplifting and positive than I was expecting. 25 seemed dark and gloomy despite it was a happier themed album.

maybe you should live in a place before categorizing it as shit

LA has amazing neighbourhoods to live in and it's actually a fantastic experience to live there for a while

I did and enjoyed 100%

just if you like music, you can go to see an amazing gig almost every night

and you get very unexpected appearances, like Britney Spears attending a Damien Rie concert :D

Ok there are first numbers from her sales… and yay you all gonna say I’m dramatic but she did 86k physical sales and 24k digital. 300K is not happening. It’s official that no one can sell anymore. Please save the words on me being dramatic or over the top. This is mega flop for her standards sadly for me.

Uk update

Maybe but I do hate the vast inequalities in the place and I did say ‘if your not mega rich’!

So she’s going to do around 200k then?

 

 

Digital includes streaming sales too?

Around 250K I would say. Let's face it I'm listening to the album since yesterday and I know for a fact non of my friends will ever will, it's really not commercial and it's amazing and long (so many songs above 6min)

Digital includes streaming sales too?

Not AM and Spotify first day.
