Adele Is Winning All The Awards For '25'

The wait is finally over, and no doubt you’re still emotionally unprepared. On Friday Adele released her brand new album 25 after about a thousand (read: four) year hiatus. It’s kiiiiind of a big deal, since, before the album even debuted, Adele had broken the record for most VEVO views in one day with “Hello,” surpassing Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” and shaking up the Internet (literally, with racking sobs). And, though it’ll be a bit before record sales are in, I’m sure you’re curious about all the other records Adele and 25 are breaking right now.

Seriously, have you counted all the tears you’ve shed since “Hello” first hit the Internet? Or have you considered all the angst that would result when it was revealed that Adele wouldn’t put 25 on streaming services like Spotify or Apple Music? No. No you didn’t. It’s OK, though, we’re gonna walk through all the non-CD related records that are getting shattered right now. Which is good, since I don’t know how many CDs are actually gonna get sold in the long run. Streamers can be spiteful.

Regardless, here are all the important musical categories and awards that Adele is definitely killing it in with the debut of 25.

1. Record Number Of Tears Cried In The Duration Of A Single Song

It started when "Hello" debuted a month ago, and it has yet to stop. You're thinking of just living in a house boat, the apartment is getting so waterlogged.

2. Record Number Of Tissues Sold In Tangent With An Album's Debut

The correlation is there, and Kleenex is making out like bandits.

3. Highest Number Of Phone Calls To Your Ex Since That One Blitzed-Out Night In 2012

Remember your first and last romp with tequila shots? Neither do I, but the 12 voicemails on your ex's phone kind of fill in the blanks. Props for going for a brave (and sober!) 17 this time around.

4. The Number One Cause Of Stressed Out, Untrained Vocal Chords

7. Biggest Rise In Sobbing Attacks Since Taylor Swift Took 1989 Off Spotify

When surveyed, record-breaking numbers of pop music fans agreed that their anxiety levels spiked after realizing 25 isn't streamable. To quote one distraught fan, "I can't."

8. Strongest Hit Of Nostalgia You've Had Since That Last Throwback Article About Cassette Players

If you ever have trouble recollecting the highlight reel of all your failed relationships, just put on an Adele CD.
