Why Adele’s Fans Are Convinced She's Releasing New Music In November

Hot Tub and Stingray Hit List Countdown inspired the recent flurry of Twitter activity. In a now deleted tweet, he wrote, “New Adele. This week.”

So far, that has proved to not be the case. But that same day, Billboard Charts Twitter account shared some of the stats around Adele's past history of album success, making fans think there was some industry collusion around drumming up press:

Yes, Adele has had four No. 1 Hot 100 hits, “Rolling in the Deep,” “Someone Like You,” “Set Fire to the Rain” and “Hello.” Plus, her two chart-topping albums “21” and “25.” The numbers on Adele's album is an important part of the story, because all of Adele's albums until now have corresponded with her age, but she turned 30 in 2019. Recently, however, there have been a series of the number 30 across the globe, which one fan collected in a thread:

The last big clue is that Taylor Swift just moved up her own album release date of her rerecording of “Red” to November 12 from November 19, making people think she and Adele have communicated and the latter plans to release at the end of November. Perhaps on November 30?

In April of 2019, Adele split with her husband Simon Konecki, which will likely make for some more heartfelt break up songs for all of us to weep along with. A divorce, though, will definitely derail plans and the coronavirus hit not long after. It's possible that Adele is still going to release a “30” album, even if it's coming a few years late. Plus, right now Adele is enjoying a new romance with sports agent Rich Paul—maybe she delayed production to add a few happy love songs, too.
