Thanks, Daydreams!
That's what I thought. I remember there being something on the Wikipedia page for
19 years ago that said "Right as Rain" was a single exclusively in Spain. There weren't any references or anything, so it's very unlikely, but I don't know. Does anyone know if there's like, a website where you can check on songs' single release histories or something like that?

Well, I don't know about trying to be the next Amy Winehouse/Duffy, but Adele has always been extremely aware of the fact that she writes a lot of ballads. "Right as Rain" is unusually upbeat, so it made sense for her to do it frequently, because it contrasted a lot of the other songs on
19.

And if I see one more "well she stans Bey so she'll be happy to lose to her " etc bitch no. Haven't you seen some of her reactions when she's lost? No one likes it. Also she went through hell to write this, she almost broke up, she almost never came back and some think she will be happy to lose or doesn't deserve it. Bye. You don't know her at all if you think so.

I agree entirely.
She's worked so hard to get there. Not that the others haven't, but as an Adele fan and knowing how much she went through, it would be disappointing to see her lose it. I mean, I know she'd be happy for whoever did win (especially Bey), but if anyone thinks that would just replace any disappointment she has about losing, it doesn't. Not that she's a sore loser, but naturally, anyone would feel disappointed about losing an award like that. But like you said, Cockney, she's been through hell trying to write this album, and she did it for us. She didn't have to come back. She's got more money than God. No one forced her to come back; if she wanted to just leave the industry and go live her quiet little life with Simon and Angelo, she would've, and it probably would've benefitted her personal life to do so. But she did come back for us.
