Adele - 30

[Lucille]

What is it with you and pop stars leaving the country?

Why wouldn’t she stay in LOVELY TOTTENHAM?!?

 

[lolly]

So presumably that profile pic is the album cover?

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I hope she sells 500 copies and disappears into obscurity like Dido and Duffy. I don’t think.

Amen to that.

Although let's face it QUEEN DIDO reigns supreme to this day.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Jesus H CHRIST get over yourself will you.

Anyway

Where LA LENNOX LEADS...

 

[K.C.]

Although let's face it QUEEN DIDO reigns supreme to this day.

Not until she is immortalized in the Moopy BANNER!

 

[funky]

Was the 19th always the rumoured date or does this fuck things up for other artists?

Was the 19th always the rumoured date or does this fuck things up for other artists?

As soon as Taylor Swift moved from 19th to 12th November, people assumed Adele was looking at that date.

 

[funky]

Amen to that.

Although let's face it QUEEN DIDO reigns supreme to this day.

I’m not sure it’s physically and biologically possible to slate Adele and Annie Lennox and praise DIDO in the same breath.

The universe is already teetering on the brink, THANK YOU

She's currently got 13 tracks on the Spotify UK top 200, so those 'sales' are continuing to rack up.

 

[funky]

So this is imminent isn’t it?

Are we getting it at midnight like usual or has a radio station got an exclusive in the morning?

 

[Iguana]

Yes it will stream from midnight!

 

[Iguana]

You're so keen

 

[funky]

It’s a musical EVENT

Now if I can just stay awake for it…

 

[rhythmbandit]

I thought Rumour Has It was a big hit but it only peaked at #85.

 

[Tisch]

(does funky realise it's not 19th November yet?)

 

[funky]

That;s the album isn't it?

 

[funky]

I'm sat here watching the ticker on her new video page on YouTube, I didn't know they had holding pages, anyway with 5 minutes to go there are 50,000 people waiting and it's now going up by about 1,000 every 2 seconds

I have joined it just for your entertainment

 

[Iguana]

Oh the chat is impossible to follow

 

[funky]

The chat is giving me seizures

 

[funky]

85K people waiting

 

[funky]

By the time I stopped typying that post it was 101K waiting

 

[Iguana]

252 people have already given it a thumbs down

 

[funky]

oh now we're getting a countdown

how fancy

 

[VoR]

 

[Iguana]

Someone posted "After 6 years of waiting this is going to be a hit I feel it"

WELL DONE MYSTIC MEG

 

[funky]

When it switched to the countdown it lost 30K viewers, weird

climbing back up now

 

[funky]

VoR furiously refreshing Spotify I see!

 

[funky]

WHat is it with her and phones

 

[funky]

This is very 90s

 

[funky]

I like the chorus

 

[Soldi]

S’ALRIGHT I guess

 

[Iguana]

Felt a bit slight, but it was nice. Is her voice a little bit shot on the money notes or is that an intended inflection?

 

[funky]

Yeah not her best, I wanted something a bit punchier. She's going for the Someone Like You vibe, can't say I blame her

JUST A HYPE TRACK (#1 in 250 countries)

 

[funky]

Felt a bit slight, but it was nice. Is her voice a little bit shot on the money notes or is that an intended inflection?

can definitely hear her voice maturing yes

 

[VoR]

Well, she did say she didn't want another Hello...

 

[Pingu]

Hm. It’s nice…
