Adele's highly-anticipated album "25" won't be available on streaming services like Apple Music and Spotify. According to New York Times, the "Rolling in the Deep" songstress has been "personally involved with the decisions about streaming", which come one year after Taylor Swift withdrew her music from Spotify.
While a spokesman for Adele declined to comment, Spotify responds to the report in a statement, "We love and respect Adele, as do her 24 million fans on Spotify. We hope that she will give those fans the opportunity to enjoy 25 on Spotify alongside '19' and '21' very soon."
"25" is being released by Columbia Records in the United States and by XL Recordings in Europe and the majority of the rest of the world. Music executives expect the album to sell about 2.5 million copies in its first week, shattering NSYNC's "No Strings Attached" which was sold just over 2.4 million in its first week in 2000.
Previous report said "25" leaked early at Target. A spokesperson for Target, which is selling an exclusive version of the album with three bonus tracks, tells New York Times, "We fully expect this to be one of our best-selling albums ever."
