If you are one of the tens of people who has held out on buying Adele’s 25 since last November, congratulations, your frugality is about to be rewarded. Billboard reports that, after seven months, 25 is headed to streaming. It’ll be available on Spotify and Apple Music at midnight (no word on Tidal), after an extended pay-only policy that led to a bit of record shattering. Adele had previously said she wouldn’t allow 25 on streaming until she fully knows how she feels about it (though she also did say it would “probably” stream someday). Well, whatever reservations she had about streaming are apparently just water under the bridge now. Enjoy that dance with No. 1 while it lasts, Drake.
