In An Audience with Adele, the singer and song-writer was filmed performing for a live audience at the London Palladium. She arrived owning her own spotlight, as her single "Easy On Me" had broken the one-week streaming record in the U.K., with 24 million listens in the first week (previously, Ariana Grande's "7 Rings" had owned the title at 16.9 million plays.
Adele's even changed Spotify forever, pushing the streaming service to remove the Shuffle Album button, so people would be encouraged to listen to albums in the official track order. And for listening to Adele's albums on Spotify in greater clarity, the AirPods Pro have hit an all-time low price for Black Friday.
Adele's audience includes everyone from family and friends to one of her former teachers, who sent her into tears on stage. We've even got a cavalcade of celebrities appearing, including actors Dame Emma Thompson, Idris Elba, Samuel L. Jackson and Emma Watson.
The songs performed in the special stretch across her discography, including the recent "Hometown Glory" and "Hello."
