Adele When Adele releases new music, get in or get out of the way.
That happened at the stroke of midnight, when the superstar singer dropped 30, her highly-anticipated fourth studio album.
An Adele album release is a global event, a world party. And everyone is invited. The celebrations — and tears (so many tears) — spilled onto social media, where Adele trended for hours after 30 arrived, as fans turned in and shared their thoughts.
The new album features the single “Easy On Me,” which smashed Spotify streaming records en route to hitting No. 1 on both sides of the Atlantic and on sales charts around the globe.
30 is the followup to 2015’s 25, an album so massive, the North Londoner was crowned IFPI Global Recording Artist of the Year, an award which recognizes the top artist across physical sales, downloads and streaming.
Red Carpet Romance! Paul Mescal, Phoebe Bridgers Seem to Confirm Relationship
Always right there! After sparking dating speculation, Paul Mescal and Phoebe Bridgers have seemingly gone public with their romance as they cheerily posed on the red carpet together. The Normal People star, 25, and the “Moon Song” songstress, 27, attended the LACMA Art+Film Gala together, even posing together on the red carpet on Saturday, November 6. Bridgers stepped out in style at Los Angeles festivities wearing a red plaid skirt, ivory lace blouse and bright red lipstick. Mescal, for her part, looked dapper in a black tuxedo and matching bowtie as he grinned for the cameras. While their LACMA appearance marked the first public outing for the pair, they’ve previously gotten cozy off-duty, most recently in several of Ziwe’s behind-the-scenes snaps from her Halloween party. In an Instagram gallery posted earlier this week, the 29-year-old comedian shared a group snap where Mescal held the musician in a sweet embrace. The “Garden Song” performer also wished the Emmy nominee a happy birthday via Instagram Story in February, writing, “Happy birthday pizza boy @paulmescal.” Mescal, for his part, then reposted her pic onto his page, replying, “Mmmmmm.” (Mescal has since deleted his account.) While the pair have previously remained coy about their romantic status, eagle-eyed fans have suspected the pair were involved for nearly one year after they were spotted together multiple times. Check out some of the reaction to 30 below.

Adele’s ’30’ Reviews: See What the Critics Are Saying
— Jason Okundaye (@jasebyjason) November 19, 2021
Here’s what critics are saying about Adele’s “toughest, most powerful album yet.” USA Today: “After more than a decade in the limelight, Adele songs have become as synonymous with heartbreak as ice cream and rom-coms. But as she wisely demonstrates on 30, it’s never too late to switch things up and fall in love with yourself for a change. I hope Adèlé sees this from her secret account. I get it, friend. This is not just a heartbreak album. It’s a life album

Five Burning Questions: Adele Debuts at No. 1 With the Year’s Best First-Week Number .
Adele’s ’30’ debuts with the best first-week number of 2021 — but given the history she’s following up, does the number represent a triumph or a disappointment?The global pop superstar released her heavily anticipated new album 30 this week — her first since 25 arrived six years ago. With 839,000 equivalent album units moved in its debut frame, the album easily passed Drake’s Certified Lover Boy and Taylor Swift’s Red (Taylor’s Version) for the best single-week number of 2021 so far. However, it’s still about a 75% drop from her most recent LP bow, when 25 opened with a historic 3.38 million copies sold in its first week of release in 2015.
