What was unique about Adele's 2021 PR campaign?

Adele's team changed her Twitter and Instagram images on Oct. 5, 2021, and uploaded a new music video for the first time since 2016. Her team replaced Adele's old website with a link urging fans to sign up for information, raising speculation that she is about to release her first new music since 2015's "25" album. Over the weekend, the number 30 was projected onto the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Colosseum in Rome, Berlin's Brandenburg Gate, Amsterdam's Nemo Museum, and New York's Empire State Building. The logo reportedly appeared in Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Poland, Ireland, Italy, Canada, Malaysia, South Korea, and the UK. Although not officially confirmed as being linked to Adele, the images appear to use the font featured on her previous albums.

Spotify has removed the shuffle button from album pages after Adele commented that the order tracks were placed in was supposed to "tell a story." The shuffle option, signified by two crisscrossing arrows, was removed from the album play button but is still available when users click to view the album tracks.

The host of Australian Channel Seven's Weekend Sunrise, Matt Doran, conceded during the interview that he had only heard one track from Adele's latest album, 30. That was enough to abort the interview - which was reportedly part of a $1 million package including broadcast rights to Adele's One Night Only television special. Doran told the Australian he was "totally unaware" he had her album, which was only publicly released a couple of weeks after Doran's London trip. "This is the most important email I have ever missed," he said.

"Weekends With Adele" was supposed to find singer Adele performing two shows every weekend between Jan. 21 and Apr. 16, 2022, at the Colosseum at Las Vegas's Caesars Palace.

"I'm so sorry, but my show ain't ready," Adele said in a video posted to Instagram, blaming "delivery delays and Covid." Adele later announced that her "Weekends with Adele" concerts start on Nov. 18, 2022, running to Mar. 25, 2023, taking in 32 shows.
