Yeah I don’t think we’re going to out of ourselves like other fanbases, but it’s still disappointing. Especially with how cohesive and amazing this album is. It’s sad to see how most people think that 25 is better than 30 just because it’s more radio friendly and smashed harder. She was very happy and I’m glad she had a great time with Bey and Lizzo. Hopefully the album has a nice boost, especially physical sales!

I think the bonus track Wild Wild West proves that she can still write potential hits when she wants to. And Adele's choice not to include it on the main album to me says that the storyline and maybe cohesion in the sound of the album was more important than hits. But it's encouraging that there was three bops on this album, if you include Cry Your Heart Out, plus WWW as bonus. She can just decide if she wants more hits and write according to it. And just releasing albums more often would help.

And even in her "flop era" in pure sales, 30 is still the third best selling album in the US and THE best selling in the UK since 2020. It's the streams that have been the main problem. But her streaming presence has been growing with her old songs blowing up on Tiktok one by one. So there's hope 30 also gets to benefit from that.

I am looking forward to her next album. I know it will take a while but we've learned to be patient in this fandom.

Aww. I feel you. But I think we as fans are handling the losses quite well. And I think Adele received the most TV time of all, in spite of not performing. They filmed her reactions so much, lol. She looked happy with her 1 Grammy.

And the album is #12 on US iTunes now. That's quite good considering it didn't win. And Easy on me is #17.

Can EOM re-enter in the HOT 100? If it has points for that, of course. I don't remember the rules.

it just doesn't show up in Kworb's real time chart.

Thanks, I had forgotten about it

[joe2012finn]

Strange for Love Is A Game to be the second least streamed track of the album, I thought it was a fan favourite...

Well, the difference in streams between the album tracks is relatively small, especially if you look at the daily streams. And To Be Loved did receive more internet promotion. And My Little Love had a lot more magazine articles written about it. And Hold On had that Amazon ad.

I'm just happy that the difference between the first and the last track in streams is so small. It means that most people who started the album listened to it all the way through.

I think Love Is A Game would have deserved to be SOTY even more. I know it's just an album track. But I wish more people would hear it. It's so lovely.

I still don't understand why Hold On wasn't nominated for Best Gospel Song, it would have won easily

[joe2012finn]

But EOM deserved to be SOTY, so obvious!

Anyway, Adele - with her seven Big-4 - achieved an unimaginable success for a female singer, no one else did it under 30y.

[zagan0401]

zagan0401 This was the first time ever that Adele lost all the big four with an album. Even with 19 she won Best New Artist. But I hope she comes back stronger again with next album.

yeah, this is unprecedented, no Big 4.

Ok, I know that our socialist lady Bonnie Raitt is a poet and her song a poetry, composing on such an important and emotionally charged topic.

But EOM deserved to be SOTY, so obvious!

[joe2012finn]

Also, 30 is #76 on US Apple Music now.

Sad to see she only won one award last year. I’m more disappointed that she didn’t perform. 30 is her second best album, probably her most cohesive too. Better luck next time I guess

I tried to find other successful artists in the Big 4 (AOTY, SOTY, ROTY, BNA) categories.

In fact, it's really very difficult to be awarded, even for the world's biggest recognized stars.

There's a substantial difference in recognition for women and racial minorities, especially in winning more than three times.

Adele is a crazy exception: the number one tied with Paul Simon and the members of U2.

the biggest winners (only artists):

01. Adele: 07
01. U2: 07
01. Paul Simon: 07

Best Pop Solo Performance really is Adele's strongest category. The last time she's lost it was in 2010 with Hometown Glory, when they still had the category split in two for men and women. And she won the female category with Chasing Pavements in 2009.

And I think it's quite impressive that she beat As It Was by Harry Styles in this category, when it was such a big hit in pop and Harry was so strong in many other categories.
