Adele appears by surprise when this man proposed to his girlfriend 1:20
(CNN) -
When it comes to her art, Adele has a particular way of doing things.
The singer believes that the songs on an album should be heard in the order they are arranged, and now she has gotten streaming giant Spotify to side with her.
Following the release of their fourth album, "30," the shuffle button is no longer the default option for listening to the album on Spotify, but listeners will hear the songs in their order.
"This was the only request I had in our ever-changing industry!" Adele wrote on Twitter Sunday.
"We don't create albums so carefully and think about our song listings for no reason. Our art tells a story and our stories need to be heard the way we intend. Thank you Spotify for listening."
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 🍷 ♥ ️ https://t.co/XWlykhqxAy

Apparently Spotify was more than happy to oblige her, writing "anything for you" in response to the singer's tweet.
"As Adele mentioned, we are pleased to share that we have started rolling out a new Premium feature that has long been requested by users and artists alike to make play the default button on all albums," said a spokesperson. from Spotify to CNN.
"For those users who still want to shuffle an album, they can go to the now playing view and select the shuffle button. As always, we will continue to innovate our products and features to create the best experiences for artists alike. as for his fans. "
The album "30", which was released on November 19 and focuses on Adele's healing process after her divorce from her ex-husband Simon Konecki, has received widespread critical acclaim.
The singer described him as the closest to her heart.
"30" is the most personal album Adele has ever written.
This is what we know about the album
Premium users can continue to play songs separately if they wish, but several fans have thanked Adele online for the update, stating that they would never listen to an album in shuffle mode, especially the first time.
A significant portion of users seem to be upset by the move, and several fans criticized Adele for requesting the removal of shuffle by default.
Taylor Swift had previously criticized Spotify for its free service, arguing that artists weren't getting enough royalties and pulling its entire catalog from the platform in 2014, though it backtracked in 2017.
However, Adele's relationship with Spotify hasn't always been that close.
When he released his previous album, "25", he decided to avoid streaming, saying that it was "a bit throwaway" and that "music should be an event."
The album was later incorporated into streaming.
Last month, "Easy on Me", the lead single from "30", broke Spotify's record for the most played song in a single day, and broke the UK record for the most plays in a single week.
