A music industry source said Adele‘s XL Recording label had made a decision to withhold “25”, expected to be the biggest album release of 2015, from streaming platforms when it is released.

Despite her lead single’s success on streaming services, Adele has chosen not to release 25 to streaming services, not immediately at least. If you take into account the rise of streaming (which isn’t counted in album sales), Adele’s numbers would far surpass Dion’s.
We all know that Adele is slaying the game.
“I Miss You:” When I think of Adele, I think of songs like this.
That voice. The throat surgery she underwent following a vocal hemorrhage in 2011 has done nothing to diminish either its character or power; brassy yet husky, smoky yet clarion, she still sounds like the result of a genetic experiment fusing Amy Winehouse’s vocal chords with Céline Dion’s lungs, or even Tom Jones’s. A collaboration with Swedish producer Max Martin, known for his recent work with Taylor Swift, it’s the one time we hear the flippant, pissed off Adele of 21. I find a theme with the album already that it’s similar to 21 with a bit more maturity in the lyrics. Best line: “And I swear you moved overseas / That’s what you said when you left me”.
Adele even wore long black gloves to cover up the giveaway tattoo of her son’s name on her hand.
‘I’ll definitely do a few shows in England.
Although she was still belting out songs about heartbreak and love, the subject matter seemed more honest and mature.
“I just thought she was a weirdo”.
“Water Under the Bridge:” I don’t know why, but I got a real Whitney Houston vibe from this song.
Industry experts project Adele’s “25” to be in the running for the highest selling album in a week ever, making those tears of yours go toward a great cause. I have a family that I love, and I’m a lioness, and I want to protect them, and stuff like that.
I’m too sad to do anything other than cry and then get tissues and cry again, yet I want to participate in this moment of culture.
Nearly five years after the release of her last album, Adele has released her new album 25 today, led by her smash hit single “Hello”. It’s another song on her album that has a faster tempo.
When You’re Thinking About Your Ex: “Hello”, if you broke up with him and regret it. “I was wondering if after all these years / You’d like to meet, to go over everything / They say that time’s supposed to heal ya / But I ain’t done much healing.” .

The singer appears to be following in the footsteps of Taylor Swift, one of the first artists who took a stand against streaming services, this included Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) Apple Music and Spotify.
