Adele's new single 'Hello' is currently Number One on iTunes in 102 countries. The video for the single has also broken YouTube Vevo's record for most views on the first day of release, with a whopping 27.7 million views on Oct. 23.
The Vevo views for the Grammy-winning artist's 'Hello' has surpassed Taylor Swift's 'Bad Blood' which had 20.1 million views on the same day the video was dropped, reports NME.
'Hello' is written by Adele Adkins and Greg Kurstin, and is the first single from Adele's upcoming album entitled "25", set to be released this Nov. 20th. '25' is the singer-musician-songwriter's comeback album after a three-year break. According to Marie Claire, Adele took the time off from the music industry to give birth to baby Angelo, her son with partner, Simon Konecki.
'25' will have 11 tracks, namely: "Hello", "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)", "I Miss You", "When We Were Young", "Remedy", "Water Under the Bridge", "River Lea", "Love in the Dark", "Million Years Ago", "All I Ask", and "Sweetest Devotion." Adele worked on some songs with Max Martin and Bruno Mars for this new album.
Since the music video for 'Hello' was released last Friday, it has had over 79 million YouTube views. Portions of the video were shot using IMAX cameras, a pioneering feat on its own. The drums to 'Hello' were also performed by Adele, a testimony to her artistry. Billboard also reports that the single has already sold roughly 450,000 in its first two days on sale. The debut week of 'Hello' will culminate this Oct. 29 and the sales for the single will be announced on Monday, Nov. 2.
