As if that weren’t enough cause for celebration, the English artist is also breaking necks over on YouTube, where the accompanying music video has received well over 52 million views in just one day. 

Clearly, people all over the world have been enjoying “Easy On Me,” including Drake, who took to Instagram to promote Adele’s single to his followers, even referring to her as one of his “best friends in the world.”

Ahead of the song’s release, the mother of one has been keeping busy, catching up with fans on social media. While on Instagram Live, Adele played a brief snippet of the song, and answered comedic questions from fans about potential collaborations with Peppa Pig, and her body count.

Along with “Easy On Me,” the “Rumour Has It” singer shared that her next album, 30, will be dropping on November 19th. If a single song alone received this much love, we can’t even begin to imagine the hysteria that her project will generate.
