Adele convinced Spotify to remove the default shuffle setting so that fans can listen to '30' album in order
- Spotify disabled the default shuffle listening option on Adele's latest album, "30."
- Adele thanked the streaming platform in a November 20 tweet.
Spotify is now allowing users to listen to the tracks on Adele's latest album "30" in order after the singer requested they disable the default shuffle feature on the album page.
In a November 20 tweet, Adele praised the streaming company's decision, writing, "This was the only request I had in our ever-changing industry! We don't create albums with so much care and thought into our track listing for no reason."
"Our art tells a story and our stories should be listened to as we intended. Thank you, Spotify for listening."
Spotify tweeted "Anything for you," to Adele in response.
In a statement to Insider, a Spotify spokesperson said, "As Adele mentioned, we are excited to share that we have begun rolling out a new Premium feature that has been long requested by both users and artists to make play the default button on all albums."
The spokesperson added that users can still shuffle the album by going to Spotify's Now Playing View and select the shuffle toggle.
The spokesperson also stated that the company will "continue to iterate our products and features to create the best experiences for both artists and their fans."
Representatives for Adele did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
In a statement posted to Instagram on November 13, Adele referred to the 12 tracks on "30" as her "ride or die throughout the most turbulent period of my life."
"30" was released on Friday and is Adele's fourth studio album. The project is also her first album in six years. On November 15 Spotify tweeted that the album's lead single "Easy on Me" was the most-streamed song in a single day.
On November 21, Amazon Music tweeted that the single had "the most first-day Alexa song requests in Amazon Music history."
