Her team might possibly be one step ahead of you there. I don't know for sure, but 'the internet' would suggest that YouTube counts a 'view' as as a user initiated stream watched for 30 seconds or more. Adele doesn't actually start singing until after 1 minute and 50 seconds into the official video...
Yeah -- that would make sense. It basically guarantees that anyone curious enough to find the video at all will certainly be curious enough to stay until the music starts. But of course there can't be such a cynical reason for that intro... Maybe it's so that you don't notice how much quieter the song is than the competition?
