Adele must be releasing on Nov. 20.
One Direction are releasing on the 13th, going up against Bieber, and it makes no sense to have them compete against each other than Columbia doesn't want it to interfere with Adele's release.
And Target has said they won't support Black Friday releases this year so unless they want to miss out on sales there, it would have to come out on the 20th.
My guess is they're waiting until after the Grammys deadline. Would could hear some news in a couple more weeks.
