On Saturday, it was reported that the music streamer had removed the shuffle button as the default option when playing albums following the release of the 33-year-old singer's new album, 30. The move makes it so users will now enjoy album tracklists in the artists' intended order, as opposed to at random. Users can still choose to shuffle the songs on their own accord. Adele responded to the new change on Saturday, tweeting, "This was the only request I had in our ever changing industry!"
