Industry watchers are expressing a disappointment that the album has not been received with an overwhelming reception.
‘No queues on record stores’ is now a phrase going viral about the album.
Many are of the opinion that Adele’s 25 was expected to lead to a stampede at sales point, but that is far from what is now being witnessed.
Adele’s record label, XI seems to be the culprit according to some keen industry watchers and fans, as their decision not to release the album digitally caught many off-guard.
‘In this age and time, when everyone goes for virtual albums, it is a bit out of place that XI will sacrifice making a few sales in CDs to the millions of purchase it can get online, how do they expect we Nigerian fans to get the album,’ an annoyed fan posited.
We wait to see if the album fulfills the hype built up for its release and becomes a best seller. This is even as many expect a digital release of the album.
