However, new research has revealed fans have just a one in 400 chance of seeing her perform live on her upcoming tour. It could – and it did, two days ago.
Pandora is now the envy of all the other streaming sites because Adele’s latest album “25” is now available on this radio website and not on any of the other popular online streaming services.
Fatone seemed pleased that Adele was the songstress who has broken their record as he recently opened up to Billboard magazine.
Yet romantic tumult clearly still has a hold over Adele. Rather, it feels like an American country song. “And I’m sorry it took so long but, you know, life happened”, Adele said about the album’s lyrical content according to Wikipedia. Her timing makes flawless sense because people love Adele and people love the holidays.
Adele owes her success in no small part to her unpretentious, non-rock star image. There is a new maturity in the voice and the lyrics, compared to 19, released when she was a teenager.
The thing is, with or without Adele’s sales, the conventional music industry is still in trouble. The singer has just stated, however, that the album will probably appear on the services sometime in the future.
The ‘N Sync first-week record has held strong for 15 years, and has always been considered unbreakable because music sales have dropped dramatically in succeeding years as consumers have shifted away from traditional sales to file-sharing and, more recently, to streaming services. Its video was also recognized on Vevo as the most-viewed within 24 hours of its release, with 27 million views.

The shipment numbers are the highest since No Strings Attached by boy band NSYNC in 2000, which was the year before Apple’s iTunes shook up the music business by mainstreaming digital sales. The album is already certified double platinum by the BPI. It is not only exciting fans but also breaking records and impressing billboards, which creates the platform for music Adele as an artist.
