Adele '25': Singer To Perform New Songs During BBC One Special; 'Hello' Most-Viewed Video in a Day, Beats Taylor Swift's 'Bad Blood'

Can't get enough of Adele's new single "Hello"? Good news as the Grammy Award-winning songstress will perform new songs on an hour-long BBC TV special.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the TV special titled "Adele at the BBC" will be taped on Nov. 2 and will be hosted by Graham Norton. To be aired on BBC One next month, "Adele at the BBC" will be the British songstress' first performance in two years since her performance of "Skyfall" in February 2013 at the 85th Academy Awards.

Adele expressed her excitement regarding the TV special, saying, "I can't wait for the show. The BBC has been wonderful to me over the years, and Graham and I get on great, so it's going to be a laugh."

The Hollywood Reporter further notes that in "Adele at the BBC," the "Hello" singer will talk about her life and career and, accompanied with a live band, will sing some of her classic tracks and new songs from her highly anticipated album titled "25," which will soon be released on Nov. 20.

In a recent Facebook post, Adele talked about how "25" is different from her previous album, "21." She said, “My last record was a break-up record and if I had to label this one I would call it a make-up record. I’m making up with myself. Making up for lost time. Making up for everything I ever did and never did.”

The TV special's host, Norton, also shared his thoughts on "Adele at the BBC." He said, "This is the music event of the year, and I'm thrilled to be part of bringing it to BBC One. This opportunity to spend an hour with Adele, her music and her stories is a truly rare treat. If I wasn't hosting this special I'd be sat at home watching it!"

Meanwhile, E! Online reports that Adele's new music video for her fist single in three years, "Hello," has surpassed Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" music video for the most views in a day. The report noted that "Hello," which debuted last Friday, reached 27.7 million views in its first day compared to Tay-tay's "Bad Blood" views of 20.1 million.

Shortly after the release of "Hello," a lot of people have been raving about it, including celebrities like Kate Hudson and Katy Perry.

Adele's last album has taken the world by storm with three Billboard No. 1 singles and 10 million copies sold in the U.S. alone, per TIME. Could this be a sign that we are again in the midst of another record-breaking album from Adele?
