Two weeks after releasing her comeback single "Easy on Me," which notched record sales, British music superstar Adele has revealed the tracklist for "30," her first album in six years, AFP reported. The album will be a 12-song tracklist that opens with "Strangers By Nature" and closes with "Love is a Game." Other tracks include "Woman Like Me," "Hold On" and "To Be Loved." The 33-year-old's new single clocked up 217,300 chart sales, the highest first-week sales since Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" record of 226,800 in 2017, according to Official Singles Chart. It also racked up 24 million streams in the UK, topping Ariana Grande's record of 16.9 million set in 2019 with 7Rings, in addition to 23,500 downloads, the highest in 2021. The name "30" refers to the "Hello" and "Someone Like You" singer's age when she started recording the album, at a time when her life was an absolute mess. In a recent interview with British Vogue, the British star based in LA made some confessions and opened up about the challenges she faced when she turned 30. "As I turned 30, my life fell apart without a prior notice. I feel like this album is self-destruction, then self-reflection and then sort of self-redemption," Adel, 33, said.
