I think they will stick to the promoting schedule they had before releasing the album regardless of what song is in what position on charts.

I'm getting slightly worried about WWWY. It's performance in the UK and many other countries is worrying. I would have expected it to be doing better by now.
Also, whilst it's an incredible song, I've always kept the belief that pop radio will be reluctant to play it due to it sounding very AC and it also makes Adele sound older than she is (we all know how ageist pop radio is).
They're not going to cancel it as a single, it's too late at this point. However, I do think it is a mistake. WUTB or AIA would be better singles at this point.

I think it'll be fine in the US after a grammy performance but WW do you think it's pushed out there too soon?
It might be her unconditionally of the era.
She still has songs like Send my love, Water under the bridge and All i ask (she needs to perform this with Bruno at the 2017 grammy's) as well as hopefuls like I miss you and Sweetest devotion.
The good thing is Hello is still big so an underperformance of WWWY can be looked over when future singles smash

The singles after SLY didn't really do much outside of the US on 21. The album has already sold so much. As long as she gets a couple more hits in the US, it'll be fine.

Something is not adding up. Adele said Hello was on streaming services because it was already out there on radio, but they have yet to add WWWY to streaming services despite it being on radio. It's a little annoying!

I agree, but "When We Were Young" still hasn't been officially released. They only announced it, which I think was smart because "Hello" was still number-one at the time. It's starting to decline now, though (how amazing is it that being number-two is a decline for Adele?), so my guess would be they'll start promoting it soon. I hope they release the video in the next few weeks and then she can top it off with Grammy and BRIT performances to solidify it as a hit. This NEEDS to be a hit. I'm going to die if it flops. This is the one song that I will literally do ANYTHING to make number-one....

The fact you think we are getting a video though...
This song is not going number 1, AIA probably would though.

Why are people assuming we're not getting a video? 
We didn't get a SFTTR video because she was recovering from vocal surgery, RHI was released only because radio wanted another song to play, and we didn't get a Skyfall video because she was pregnant.
I wouldn't assume that we're not getting a video. Again, nothing has been officially released yet.

in time, like a week or maybe two before grammys, would be perfect to release it full on with a video and put on spotify! i reaaally hope it happens, it needs to get proper single treatment!
i dunno about internationally, if the song is stalling or simply not taken as the second single yet; that its still jst Hello?
but tbh i think WUTB would be smarter as a 2nd single, but maybe just internationally, i feel like it'd be more fitting with a midtempo after hello. WWWY is probably the best song on 25, but it isn't typical popradio material i think. so it REALLY needs to be put on spotify aswell as getting a real video! i want this masterpiece to have the sucess it deserves!!

WWWY has yet to get a video so I wouldn't count it out yet. That being said WWWY could be top 3 on 25 for me possibly  I think its a very easy song to get into and sing along with

Some of you have a weird vendetta against AIA and I'm really trying to figure out why?  Cool, you don't like it. But some of you were even wishing it to fail.
At the end of the day, a hit for Adele is a hit for Adele.

If AIA does become a single it likely won't be until much later on.
WWWY is next and she needs to break up the ballads with WUTB after that. I can't see radio supporting three back to back ballads.

Yeah, with me, "All I Ask" is my second favorite after "When We Were Young," but I do not want it released until later on. "When We Were Young" deserves to be a big hit, and then she should release "Water Under the Bridge." After that, she can release "Send My Love" and then "All I Ask," or just release "All I Ask" as the fourth single.
And yeah, there were reasons we didn't get an actual video for "Set Fire to the Rain" or any videos for "Rumour Has It" and "Skyfall." I still have faith she'll release a video for "When We Were Young." I just hope it's soon. If they don't start promoting the song now, while radio is trying to pick it up, it's going to flop.

Also, does anyone know of or have a digital booklet for 25? I found this, but I'm trying to find one that doesn't have the creases in the pictures. Thanks!

"When We Were Young" is scheduled to be released on January 22 in Italy: http://www.earone.it/news/adele_when...2016_17494743/. I don't know if that's considered the international release date of the single, though, as it's already getting airplay in other countries.

That might be when WWWY isn't on Spotify!
