Why Adele's New Album '25' Is Not Streaming Online
. It will be available digitally; you can purchase downloads of the individual songs or the entire album on sites like iTunes. But why avoid the streaming services? It's almost expected, at this point, that nearly anything you'd want to listen to is available for streaming, without the financial commitment that used to be necessary to hear music on demand. You know, back when you used to have to pay for an LP, cassette, CD or even a mp3 file. Billboard is reporting that the album will ship 3.6 million physical copies in the United States, and that it could sell 2.5 million units in the United States in its first week. Adele's representatives haven't commented on this, but the answer probably lies in the unique position that the British singer finds herself in right now. Coming off of the 11 million selling 21, the response to 25's first single "Hello" was overwhelmingly positive. It created a pop culture moment that we don't experience very much anymore: everyone seemed interested in the song, from the youngest music fans to the oldest across many demographics. In the three weeks since the video has been posted, it has been viewed over 419,000,000 times on YouTube. That's four hundred nineteen million times. Read more here.
