All relationships are up and down, and that’s part of a relationship - the tapestry of it and the muddiness of it. “Water Under the Bridge” “It’s about making a relationship work, about wanting to make a relationship work. “It’s a hello to myself, hello to all my friends, hello to my ex-boyfriend, hello to who I’m going to be in 10 years, hello to my kid in 10 years, hello to my boyfriend in 10 years - to my fans, to everyone. I love what I do, and I feel really, really lucky, but maybe our 7-year-old selves wouldn’t. And I’m curious to know if our 7-year-old selves, if they met us when we were adults, and we were like, ‘Well this is what we ended up doing,’ if we’d be satisfied. “Hello” “That’s reaching out to who I used to be when I was younger. “But if my music can comfort anyone and make them feel like, ‘I’m not the only one, someone else feels how I feel,’ then that’s my job done.” She also offered details about seven of the songs on “25.” These are edited excerpts from that conversation. “It sounds really cheesy,” Adele told The New York Times chief pop music critic Jon Pareles when he visited her in London for an in-depth interview.

With at least 2,433,000 copies of the album sold in just over three days, “25” is also set to more than double the first-week sales of some of the biggest albums of the past 15 years, including Taylor Swift’s “1989,” the Beatles’ “1” and Eminem’s “The Eminem Show.” Adele’s “25” is easily shaping up to be the best-selling album of 2015: Billboard reports that Adele Adkins’s third album has broken the record for single-week sales set by ‘N Sync’s “No Strings Attached” in March 2000.
