Could Adele's new album finally have a release date? New reports indicate that the long-awaited follow-up to the top-selling record 21 may be arriving as soon as November, and the "Skyfall" singer has inked an exclusive deal with NBC to promote the LP.
Hits Daily Double reports that Adele's new album - rumored to be called 25 - will be released on Friday, Nov. 20 via XL/Columbia Records. Though the news is unconfirmed by Adele or her camp, the Nov. 20 release date falls in line with earlier reports of when Adele's third studio album could arrive.
The lead single would precede the release, dropping in early November.
Adele doesn't plan to release the new album quietly or with no promotion, either. She has also reportedly inked a lucrative exclusive performance deal with NBC, which will include four big performances as she promotes the LP. She's reportedly set to appear on Saturday Night Live and The Today Show as a musical guest. Adele is also reportedly in talks with NBC (and the BBC overseas) to air a one-hour prime time special surrounding her album. She also has one other NBC performance, potentially on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Despite being a constant presence on NBC, Adele will also be allowed to appear at the 2016 Grammys, which air on rival network CBS.
Adele's new album will be her first release in over four years. Featuring the singles "Someone Like You" and "Rolling in the Deep," her last effort 21 has sold over 11 million copies in the United States alone.
