After almost three years of silence from Adele is finally giving us some new music. Her album 25 is slated to drop November 20th and is already expected to sell one million albums in the first week! Her newest single ‘Hello’ has already broken a bunch of records. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Adele revealed just why she was out of the loop for so long. According to her, she was busy raising her son and really didn’t have anything to share with her fans. She said, “When I have nothing to say, I’d rather just not talk.” But when found herself back in the loop, she couldn’t help but wonder exactly what the rest of us are wondering, Where is Frank Ocean’s album?????

Adele is breaking records left to right with her new single, “Hello.” After it was revealed that the UK songstress is on pace to move over a million units of the album “Hello” will live on, 25, now the official first-week sales of the song are in, and they’re also in the 7-figure range! “Hello” kicked off with a whopping 1,112,000 downloads – completely killing the record for most downloads sold in a week, previously held by Flo Rida’s “Right Round” at 636k in February 2009. The song also got an impressive 61.6 million streams in the U.S., becoming the second highest number ever since streaming began being counted in March of 2013. (That record still belongs to Baauer’s “Harlem Shake,” which peaked with 103 million – mainly because of all of the fan clips made dancing to the song.) 25 hits stores November 20.
Just when you thought you seen it all, Adele lets her fans know that she has something else up her sleeves…
Adele is very, very lit right now. The superstar singer hasn’t released an album since 2011’s 21, so the hype around the forthcoming 25 is insane. So much so, early sales projections based on pre-orders have the first week numbers looking to be in the realm of 1.3 to 1.8 million! Yes, million! This would make for the biggest debut from a female artist of all time, beating out the record previously held by Britney Spears when Oops!…. I Did It Again sold 1.5 million in its first week in 2000. N*Sync holds the record for the biggest first week sales of all time with 2.4 million copies sold, though – do you think Adele could beat that? I wouldn’t be surprised! Pre-order 25 on iTunes here. The album hits stores November 20.
Fans of singer/actor Mack Wilds were quite surprised to find out that he has a starring role in Adele’s new video, “Hello.” In fact, even friends of the former Wire star were shocked – as he hadn’t told a soul but his mom and his manager! “[I like] to see the looks on people’s faces when something big like that happens,” Mack said in a new interview. And with over 110 million people having seen the video since its release a mere five days ago, I’m sure that equates to many, MANY shocked faces! As for how he landed the gig? Apparently the video’s director, Xavier Dolan, reached out – and one Skype convo later, Mack got the job!
