Adele may be dominating worldwide with new single ‘Hello,’ but the British bred belle is ensuring she’s covering her home base in a big way.
After launching the campaign on the X Factor UK two weeks ago, it’s been announced that the powerhouse will tape a one-hour special for the BBC.
Details below…
Filming on November 2nd (and likely airing later in the month), the show – aptly titled ‘Adele At The BBC’ – will see the songstress perform a selection of tracks from upcoming album ’25,’ as well as from its blockbuster predecessors ’19’ and ’21.’
Hosted by Graham Norton, the spectacle will also feature a sit-down interview with the Diamond certified diva.
Speaking on the special, Adele said in a statement:
“I can’t wait for the show. The BBC has been wonderful to me over the years and Graham and I get on great so it’s going to be a laugh.”
Norton followed saying:
“This is the music event of the year and I’m thrilled to be part of bringing it to BBC One.
This opportunity to spend an hour with Adele, her music and her stories is a truly rare treat. If I wasn’t hosting this special I’d be sat at home watching it!” {Source}
The news comes on the heels of confirmation of the singer’s US plans – which include an NBC special (taped at Radio City Music Hall) and a performance on Saturday Night Live.
Needless to say, ’25’ is being worked as a global event record. And if its material is as epic as its launch, the world is in for the most tantalizing of treats.
’25’ hits stores November 20th via Columbia/XL.
Yup Im here for it 100%!!! Adele slay my soul please!!!!
Hurricane Adelephant is coming for Taylor, Bey, Rihanna and any other industrie B****!!
Hello is too overrated. I got bored after 5 times. The song makes me feel suicidal. Next? 🙁
Calm down she has AMAZING SALES!!! But those women you mentioned are all past 100 million record’s sold. When she passes 100 million and is still relevant ten years from now then we can praise her in such a way. For now sit in the corner and stop riding Adeles sales m’kay.
P.S don’t be rude STOP CALLING HER ADELEPHANT!!!!
I really hope she doesn’t let down. So much hype.
This woman is taking over.., wow! Not mad
On itunes, 25 is #1, 21 is #6, and 19 is ironically #21! That’s bad b*tch status!
It’s so refreshing to see how she will promote the album and gets specials everywhere. That’s how you promote an album! Too bad that times of big promotion seem to Be over, as everyone is just releasibg his/her album and then tweets about it…no gigs, no specials, no performances…how times have changed
SMH She’s too much 4 muah rite now. I already kindly handed her my wig with the Hello slayage that she served. Wat else does she want from muah?
Are you referring to yourself as the sound people make when they mean kiss, or are you looking for the French equivalent of “me”—moi?
The sound. I speak French due to my Grandmother, so I understand the difference. Merci de demander et de la brève leçon .
Slayage.
Sis aren’t you afraid that she might break Mariahs record for having the longest number one? I don’t mind atleast the song is timeless
She just betta be singing downe. #ThatIsAll
Sick of her already guess the next 3 years we will have to see n hear her a$$ everywhere to bad we can’t promote black soul singers like this sad
maybe if you buy their music you wouldnt have to make stupid comment like this
Hello, its me…gave me chills but thats just abt it nothing special, didn’t she say no more sad break up songs? Well why fix it if it ain’t broken ryt?
She has a great voice, and it’s great to see quality her quality work getting attention, but Adele does nothing for me. Her songs don’t catch me. They kind of bore me. She doesn’t make enough to fun songs. She can still give fun songs and still give vocals and great writing.
I missed this kind of promo. It’s sad that record labels only finance it for sure-thing artists like Adele. They might get more break out artists and big album sellers if they took more risks.
