Have you hopped on the 25 train yet?
Remember when Adele dropped her single and moody video for Hello onto the world? After 5 years of being on hiatus, there were faint murmurs that she was set to release an album this year, but those murmurs were then quieted by a financial report that delivered a ghastly blow to Adele fans the world over: no new album would be released in 2015.
With all the back and forth cleared, and the teasing of 25, new songs and more, a release date was finally set for November 20th. Since the album’s release, 25 has blown up to be the best-selling album of 2015, beating out 1989, TSwift’s album (one we never thought would get booted out of first place).
In usual fashion, Adele fans LOST IT over her gut-wrenching, heart-breaking, I-hate-and-love-you track listing with songs that stung the heart, drudged up the ugly muck of nostalgia, and made you relive that one relationship that ended much too soon.
Yeah… we’d have to agree with you Chelsea Marie (excuse me while I cry my brains out)…
In his defense, who doesn’t cry over Target commercials?
By Monday morning, 3 days after its release, 25 had already sold over 2.3 million copies – a number that far outweighed Taylor Swift’s 1989 record sales, which is good news for Adele fans (it’s no competition but TSwift’s album had been at the top of the charts for 2 years straight).

When asked about the significance of 25 and why it took so long to release another album after 21, Adele so eloquently responded:
