Seven months after the release of her chart topping album, Adele has released 25 on streaming services Spotify, Apple Music and Tidal.

The British singer is one of a number of industry heavyweights including Beyonce and Taylor Swift who are resisting the streaming industry in favour of traditional album sales. In an interview with Time magazine in December, Adele said she thought album releases should be "an event", revealing she found streaming "disposable".

"I don't use streaming. I buy my music. I download it, and I buy a physical [copy] just to make up for the fact that someone else somewhere isn't. It's a bit disposable, streaming."
