Adele is upsetting the plans of major artists

Adele has music counterparts running for the hills...

It has been four years since the British superstar released last album '21' - which shifted 30 million copies - so it's no surprise others are frantically changing their release dates to avoid the clash.

A slew of acts including Ellie Goulding, Little Mix, One Direction and Justin Bieber are believed to have moved their release dates forward to avoid a chart battle with the singer, whose third record '25' is scheduled to be released on November 20.

That's the No.1 Christmas album wrapped up.
