It took one , very simple , 30 second song snippet , showing only lyrics , and appearing during the ad break of The X Factor.
Adele has fuelled further excitement ahead of the relase of her third album said to be in November. The snippet was her first new material in over 3 years.
“Hello, it’s me / I was wondering if after all these years / you’d like to meet to go over everything / they say that time’s supposed to heal ya / but I ain’t done much healing ...”.
It'll be no easy feat following 21 , the biggest selling album of the millennium. But if the new album is scheduled for November 20th , expect it to become the fastest selling album of the year and break first week sales records in the UK and US.
Its been over four years since 21 stormed charts worldwide and made Adele an international icon. The album of heartbreak and torch songs spawned instant classics like Rolling In The Deep nnd Someone like You.
Now ahead of the long awaited third album , heavily tipped , to be called 25 , The Playlist counts down Adele's 10 greatest songs.
10. Skyfall
The 2011 Bond theme nabbed Adele and long time cohort Paul Epworth an Oscar in 2012 for best Original Song.
One of the greatest Bond themes ever recorded , its soaring orchestral sweeps , also nabbed it a Brit Award
9. Take It All
One of many stand out cuts from 21 , this is as gorgeous and heartrending as Adele gets
8. Rumour Has It
The brassy stomper was a kiss off to rumours of a romance fro the singer. One of only three upbeat songs on 21 , it remains as classy and catchy as ever
7. Turning Tables
Produced by OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder , this is one of the clear stand outs from 21. Fragile lyrics mask a defiant chorus.
6. Chasing Pavements
Adele's breakthrough single is a soaring anthem that trailed debut album 19 in 2008. It instantly showed that Adele was one to watch.
5. Set Fire To The Rain
This barnstorming track from 21 , was a huge smash in the US , completing an unprecedented hat rick of Number 1 singles.
4. Make You Feel My Love
This Bob Dylan cover has become an X Factor staple. Its chart reappearance ein the winter of 2010 was the perfect springboard to the 21 album campaign.
One of her most recognisable songs , Adele's tender take on Dylan;s track , remains one of the centuries great ballads
3. Someone Like You
When it comes to Adele this is THE song. The ultimate heartbreak song became an instant classic with Adele's now iconic BRIT Awards performance from 2011. It sent the song straight to the top of the UK charts and later the US Hot 100. Her signature song , despite is ubiquity , remains a moving and momentous classic
"Sometimes it last in love , but sometimes it hurts instead '
2. Hometown Glory
Adele's debut single and the one that set taste makers abuzz. This spine tingling tribute to London has been used in TV shows from Skins to Greys Anatomy. That haunting piano intro , the vocals , the sheer goosebump inducing scale of this track. Its my personal favourite from the Tottenham singer and still reduces me to a sobbing wreck,
1. Rolling In The Deep
A modern classic that kicked off the phenomenon that was 21. Described by the singer as a dark , blue-sy , gospel disco. Mammoth sized thumping piano and a sweeping chorus make it a pop classic
