It's frustrating that they've bungled this era at every turn. The music is so good and deserves more.

Yes! And people here don't realize that how much of a GP artist Adele is. Not everyone is gonna check for album tracks on Spotify/AM, but they still love her whenever they hear new songs. EOM is gonna hit 1.1 billion on Spotify next week. Even OMG has 361 million streams. That's at least decent. And I think IDW has potential to be bigger than that. Taylor gets more consistent streams in her deep cuts because of the fanbase, but Adele has the bigger hits because she appeals to more casual listeners and that's most people in the world.

This seems to be doing alright in the UK, also 30 has been rising there on Itunes as well

I'm not surprised they just gave up after the music video event . It's so strange too, it couldn't have much effort to release an digital single with the radio edit, original song, and the 15 minute version to streaming after the event as well as sending it to radio.  It obviously wouldn't have been a #1, but there isn't much new music out there right now and an Adele song in the holidays will always pull some numbers.

Probably just want to give her something to center around the Grammy push. 

 

She'll likely sing this instead of Easy On Me there (to give the illusion that the album/era gave us more than just the success of its lead).

I still want to hear the radio edit at least  can’t seem to find it anywhere

RISING in the UK

Same  I'm so curious about how they put it together

I love this song so much. The public needs to hear me. At this point, it's my most overplayed song from 30

This was a mistake as a single imo. Should’ve gone with Can I Get Airplay.

Hold On or To Be Loved at the Grammys

This song is such a gem. 30 does not deserve the hate it gets - truly her "A New Day Has Come" era 

 

She said art not the charts and served a quality album

They should have pushed CIGI over the summer. Missed opportunity

I agree completely. IDW is a great album track - but they should’ve been self aware enough to know IDW is not radio friendly at all. It’s way too slow.

Exactly this! She needed to make people understand that her discography is not full of ballads, and wouldn't hurt for her to have a fun song as a single. 

Maybe she could perform this at the Grammys?

wow , i didnt see this video, nice

Wow this really made zero noise. I’m sad, it’s one of my faves on the album

This tanked.

Im shook this made no noise. Thought at least it’s be a super moderate hit but it was NOTHING

The fact such a generic song was on the album and doesn’t fit the rest of it, clearly made for radio and they never pushed it. 
 

I really think after the Vegas fiasco and the album started tanking rather than drag it out they scrapped all plans and the only reason we got I Drink Wine was because it was too expensive not to put out. 

 

Any revenue they could have gotten from it is better than nothing. 

 

It’s amazing to think if she had just done Vegas and done a simple show she would have been absolutely fine. 
 

But tbh they went the wrong way about it, they should have gone full steam ahead and made the public move on. Stopping everything and having mostly radio silence meant the last taste of Adele was her cancelling her show and pissing off fans.
