Adele is done selling her latest album, so Adele’s latest album is finally coming to Spotify

Last fall, Adele broke just about every sales record, ever, with her “25” album. But you couldn’t hear it on Spotify, or any other streaming service.

But that was seven months ago. Now, Adele and her label, Sony Music, are finally ready to start streaming: “25” will start appearing on Spotify at midnight tonight, market by market.

Which means if you’re reading this in Australia, you should be able to hear the album right now.

I’m assuming “25” is also coming to rival streaming services, like Apple Music. I’ll update when I hear more.

Update: Yep, Apple Music is getting it, too, and so are all the other streaming services.

Meanwhile, a reminder that this kind of “windowing” is going to remain pretty rare in the music business, unless things change radically. The music business is moving/has moved from a sales model to a streaming model, and there are only a handful of musicians with the clout to keep their stuff off the big services.

Also! Thank you, Adele, for giving me the opportunity to show this clip again.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
