Spock 20,290 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 On May 4th, the day Adele turned 26, the multi-platinum singer tweeted, "Bye bye 25... See you again later in the year." The tweet seemed to suggest that Adele's much-anticipated follow-up to the Album of the Year Grammy-winning 21 would be arriving at some point in 2014. However, according to the New York Times, that is no longer the case. A financial report from Adele's label XL Recordings reveals that there are no plans to drop an album from the "Rolling in the Deep" singer in 2014. The good news is that XL made $15 million net profit this year, but further down in the report the label sent to regulators today, they added this sobering note: "There will not be a further new release by Adele during 2014 and consequently there will be a fall in XL’s turnover and profits. Nevertheless, the directors are confident that by pursuing management policies...XL will continue to achieve success with other artists." In the report, the label note that the singer's back catalogue accounted for a "significant proportion of the sales and profit" during 2013. 21 sold more than 25 million copies worldwide, so the quiet revelation that 2014 will be Adele-less comes as an equally disappointing update to both XL's distributor Columbia Records and the singer's fans. In a holiday season set to feature big album releases from Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, Pink Floyd, Foo Fighters and possibly Kendrick Lamar, Adele's new LP was expected to be the marquee event and a dire shot in the arm for a music industry that has endured record low sales this year. However, as we enter the fourth quarter of 2014, Adele hadn't made any announcements – she hasn't even tweeted since July – or rolled out any new singles, which implied that the tentatively titled 25 might have to wait until 26. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/adeles-new-album-not-due-until-2015-20141009 Our faves are safe who will love me when the night is over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray of Light 8,134 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I should be afraid, expecting her to scalp my faves. But no. I don't think she'll be extremely successful again. Hype sales and hype Grammys. After that, nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry 26,836 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 She'll open huge and trail off quickly with the new album. It won't replicate 21s success, no way. That was once in a lifetime success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelduuh 232 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I think she will do like Beyoncé. She will release the single all of a sudden. Or maybe she will announce the single like a day o two before, something like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is safe Not everyone is going to be so desperate as to have their producers and label lie just to create front-loaded buzz for their front-loaded album. Beyonce is not a standard, such a sad illusion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haroon 49,685 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Who knows We did hear that they wanted to just release it whenever without promotion or whatever so they could just be saying this to dash our spirits, so when it is dropped on us like a behemoth release that it makes the effect that much larger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
