Adele Gets Spotify to Agree to Remove Shuffle Button for Album '30'



At least, her music won't be pushed around.

The shuffle button on the service was agreed to because of the complaints from the singer.

She calls the 12 tracks on her album "ride or die", which is a reference to the most turbulent period of her life. She asked that the shuffle button be removed, and here's her reasoning. This was the only request I had in the industry. We don't create albums with a lot of care and thought into our tracklisting. Our art tells a story and we should listen to it. Thank you for listening.

She felt that shuffling the songs would ruin her story.

She was correct in her belief that the option of playing the album in order would be offered by Spotify.

Rich Paul, her sports agent, was front and center during her sit down with Oprah.
