Adele's much-anticipated new album 25 will not be available for streaming on any digital music services, including Spotify and Apple Music.
A source quoted by The New York Times said Adele's record label, XL Recordings, had decided to withhold 25, which is expected to be the biggest album release of 2015, from streaming platforms.
Reuters reports that Spotify confirmed that its followers would not have access to the new album. The streaming service said on Thursday evening: "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."
Adele's representatives declined to comment on the decision, which follows a similar move by Taylor Swift over her album huge-selling album 1989.
Tyler Goldman, chief executive, North America, of music streaming company Deezer said the service would not have Adele's new album at launch.
"She's benefiting from paid subscriptions, but she's using this as an opportunity to try and sell more CDs or downloads," he said. "If all artists did this, we wouldn't have the growth in subscriptions we have."
Apple Inc and other music services, including Pandora and Google Play, could not immediately be reached for comment.
25 is Adele's first album since 2011's 21, which sold more than 30 million copies worldwide. 25 had been expected to sell more than one million units in North America in its first week, according to estimates by Billboard magazine.
The move by Adele and her management follows Swift's refusal to offer her album 1989 to streaming services. Swift, one of the most powerful names in pop music, made the decision after writing an article about how artists should value their music and not offer it for free.
1989 became the biggest selling album in the world in 2014 with estimated sales of more than 8.5 million copies.
In July, Swift agreed to put 1989 on Apple Music, days after it agreed to pay artists during a free trial of its new streaming music service.
