The highly anticipated new album from Adele, “25”, leaked online yesterday, three days ahead of its Nov. 20 release date. Listen to the full album here.

Social media exploded with rumors that the album was also being sold in their stores ahead of its initial release date. Adele’s spokesperson told Billboard that Target shelves were not stocking the album just yet.

“The Target sales are not true,” the spokesperson said.

The album includes Adele’s hit single “Hello” which has already been praised by critics and fans alike. The 27-year-old also gave a live performance of another song, “When We Were Young”, in a preview clip from her appearance on Australia’s “60 Minutes.”
