Probably the most highly anticipated album of 2015 drops today.

We’re really excited about the first album by Adele since 2011 and, judging by how many copies of “Hello” have sold so far, we’d say you are too. Today’s Best Music, KiSS will be celebrating the arrival by featuring music from the album all weekend.

While you can hear the new album on the radio, one place you won’t find it is on at least one of major music streaming services. Spotify said Thursday that Adele’s “25” will not be available on its streaming platform when it is released Friday. It was unclear if Adele’s album would appear on Spotify in the future. A representative for the singer declined comment. Spotify said “we love and respect Adele, as do her 24 million fans on Spotify. We hope that she will give those fans the opportunity to enjoy ’25’ on Spotify alongside ’19’ and ’21’ very soon.”

Pulling the anticipated album from the streaming site will force listeners to buy the album digitally and at stores, driving its sales. The album is predicted to push well over 1 million copies in its debut week.
