So, as most of you know, WikiLeaks published all of Sony's emails and documents onto their site, and among them is information regarding some of their music artists. Adele, who is signed to Columbia Records in the US (Sony owns Columbia), was mentioned in an email, where they confirmed that Adele, who hinted that her new album,
25, was due out by the end of 2014 via Twitter, originally planned on releasing an album last year:
Quote:
Recorded Music bestselling titles for this current fiscal year include successful releases from Michael Jackson, Pharrell Williams, John Legend, Barbra Streisand, Kenny Chesney, Foo Fighters, Calvin Harris and Pink Floyd.
And, we are excited by a strong line-up of titles that have been recently released or are still to come in the balance of the year including Adele, One Direction, Garth Brooks, AC/DC, Olly Murs, Carrie Underwood, J. Cole, Japanese artists Kana Nishini and L’Arc-en-Ciel.
As I discussed at last year’s meeting, our Recorded Music business has been focused on finding and developing new talent and we are seeing very positive results as highlighted on the next slide.

This confirms that the album was delayed and also means that a 2015 release is very likely! What are your thoughts?
