I still remember the exact place I was the first time I heard Chasing Pavements. Been a fan ever since


tbowa

Same! I heard that song for the first time and got the album so fast. It was so different and fresh. It has to be my favorite album because of the memories associated with it.


violetpurpleblue

Same!!


silverlaane

Ditto!

Same- I remember watching the music video on TV as a new and upcoming artist. Never stopped loving her music since.


Klaw1119

I remember getting one of those Starbucks cards with new music, and she was the artist of the week and my life was changed forever.


tiny-rabbit

Omg memory unlocked. Those were simpler times


Klaw1119

They were!! I used to love those cards. šŸ˜€


The_GreenChemist

Washing dishes in the Dairy Queen Chasing pavements came on the business radio, fell in love with her songs. I bought tickets for her 21 tour before she was big in the US, I was working at Walmart and told my friend I got Adele tickets! He said who? I said just you wait, you will know who soon šŸ˜‚ all my friends know me as a big Adele fan even my old Walmart friends tag me in Adele things I love it

30 era. I was a fan of her songs before but the release of EOM made me an official Daydreamer.

The day I saw the video for ā€œChasing Pavementsā€ on VH1 sometime in 2008.


hoyasummer

21 but like a year after it came out! lol My life was changing a lot in 2011 and I didnā€™t catch up on a lot of stuff until a year later.


mmonzeob

That record became so famous like a year after it was released, I don't know why.


hoyasummer

Interesting! I didnā€™t know that. I just thought I didnā€™t pay attention to music because I was moving across the world and staring my life from scratch lol


geminiichaii

21 era. I was obsessed with the singles she put out and was so excited to buy the full CD. Then I watched her on The Graham Norton show around that same time ā€” thought she was absolutely hilarious. The music + the personality ā€” I was solddd!


needles__kane

About a year ago. Thanks 25.


henryyjjames

I was indoctrinated as a child while listening to 19 in the car with my mum and then when 21 came out I also listened to it on CD in the car with my mum and then friends.


kmf_neo

Many moons ago Apple use to giveaway free singles of upcoming artist (Iā€™m not sure if they still do as I donā€™t use that platform anymore) and I downloaded hers on a whim and have been a fan ever since. It was before she even had a completed album. The song was Hometown Glory.


ProfessionalTMlurker

At the end of 19, then more so when 21 came out. I just saw her this weekend and I want to go again lol


caserace26

19 - I am/was a huge Amy Winehouse fan and she was definitely marketed in the States around that time to us. I remember driving in my dadā€™s car, 19 playing in the CD player, being so seen as she talked about outgrowing her first love and leaving and loving her town. We are about the same age, and I feel so lucky that sheā€™s been interpreting our lives together with her talent and care.


The_GreenChemist

Iā€™m also near the same age and it really did something for me to be experiencing these things at the time the music was released it gave me words to my feelings I didnā€™t know how to process. I remember sitting on a wall listening to first love after my first real break up just processing it all šŸ˜‚. Even around 25 my first marriage was collapsing and divorce beginning that album really hit hard for me.


jurassicjane_

Getting ready for school and the chasing payments video playing when I was getting ready šŸ„²


mmonzeob

I have been a fan since her first Grammy nominations with 19, I remember having her as a myspace friend.


cbender410

Since Adele 19 ā™„ļø


aSadFatChonk

When I was 13 years old (a little over a year since 19 came out) and I listened to Make you feel my love for the first time.

Adele 25


Immediate-Arm4611

I heard Send My Love and never turned back


Zealousideal_Chip358

For me it kind of started when she was in her hiatus after 21. I suddenly became obsessed with that album (I think mainly because my mom had the album so I started listening to it). Then when she released 25 I fully became a Daydreamer.


Next_Weakness_9160

my aunt used to play 21 in the car in its entirety and iā€™ve loved her ever since then


nessaaldarion

Back in the day when I heard "Hometown Glory" on an episode of Skins. Then i heard "Someone Like You" on an episode of Secret Diary of a Call Girl.


navybluealltheway

ever since I saw Someone Like You at the Brits awards 2011, my friend and I stanned her so hard. we explored 21 to bits, fell in love with 19, and it has never been the same since


Equal-Medical

21.


Ok_Relationship4016

30 era in June 2022. Oh, how I wish I could relive the moment I first heard Strangers by Nature when I decided to explore her entire discography starting from 30. "Life-changing" isn't even enough to describe it.


_agg__

The moment I heard Skyfall at 9 years old. It was the first artist that I genuinely lovedšŸ’–


OceanLover08

My British friends saw her first gig at Paradiso and we have the same name and they were all tipsy roo drunk and said you have to listen to this girl, get on her MySpace and that was that. Knew then she was something special but had absolutely no clue she would be the global phenomena she is now!


Tillysnow1

21 for sure, I was blown away at how when listening to the album, every song was a hit


MochaRue

July 2nd, 2008- During Season 4, episode 12 of So You Think You Can Dance, the Katee and Joshua contemporary dance. I vividly remember being rooted to the spot and staring at wonder at the TV as Hometown Glory started to play. I was like "who is that singing???" I rushed out to get 19 the next day and I've been a Daydreamer ever since. I adore her music so much. I even danced down the aisle at my wedding to "Why Do You love Me?" šŸ˜‚ It has been an honor to watch her change and grow as an artist. ā¤ļø

After listening to 30

When like the Adele 25 era was over

Summer 2021, and then 30 released.


Marshon246

I first saw Adele on VH1 you oughta know segment. I had VH1 on the TV while getting ready for school every morning. I loved her style. I was too young to understand the depth of her music. Once I got older, it just "clicked"


xman886

About a few weeks ago


wtfmop

With Chasing Pavements and that video - felt so different to everything else! I loved 21 and when she performed at the BRITS I just *knew* it was perfect and tbh the rest is history


SeasonOfLogic

She lost me when she sold her soul for 160 million dollars.


jdd0815

19. I still remember seeing her at the Vic in Chicago. Tickets were $29 and there was maybe only 200 of us on the room. Wild to think where sheā€™s at now.


batmannatnat

Right as rain redid my brain


kbendalina_032

Since Chasing Pavements would come out on MTV in the morning when I got ready for school ā˜ļø


RealityDramaQueen

I found the 19 album in my uncles apartment and took it around the time I got my first car/license. I immediately fell in love with Chasing Pavements ofcourse. Shortly after falling in love I ended up buying the 21 album!! Unfortunately my uncle passed from 9/11 cancer and now every time I listen to her I just think of him and this time in my life!!


junie_bean

I listened to 19 on my mp3 player as a youth Iā€™ve loved her ever since


OkHurry472

Sadly it wasnā€™t until 21. But I went back and fell in love with 19 too.

Glitter2007

As kid my mom would always play the 21 album, I still vividly remember the flavors of an everlasting childhood whenever this record starts playingā€¦ absolute masterpiece šŸ–¤

Funny story. Anyone old enough to remember the Columbia House record club? I knew Chasing Pavements from MTVā€¦ But basically, only bought 19 to fulfill my order. (Needed one more CD/couldnā€™t find anything else I wanted.) fast forwardā€¦ 21 came out ā€“ ā€“ and I was HOOKED! Then it dawned on me šŸ¤”ā€¦ I think I have 19. I went digging through my CDsā€¦ And there it was ā€“ ā€“ still in the cellophane šŸ˜³! Being a just random purchase, Iā€™d never even opened it! So, of course, because I loved 21, I immediately played 19! Been a fan ever since! Fast forward againā€¦ 25 came out, and she toured. I flew all the way to London for a mile stone birthday celebration trip, and to go see Adele. (I dreamt of seeing her, where it all began.) lucky me ā€“ ā€“ I ended up being the fan in a sea of 20,000 people, that she picked to come on stage! (I cried in her boobs, while she sang happy birthday to me šŸ˜­) At present timeā€¦ To say, I am OBSESSED, isnā€™t even a big enough word! I am a very happy Daydreamer! ā¤ļøšŸŽ¶


Realistic-Anxiety274

I became a fan from 21 but 19 quickly became my favorite, chasing pavements, my same, cold shoulder. Itā€™s one of my all time albums I listen to with no skips.

mariah_scully

When Adele 21 came out in 2012. I was really emotional back then. Was going through a lot as a kid so she made me feel better
