Tracks must now be listened to in order.
Spotify has taken the shuffle button off all album pages after a request from Adele.
While the shuffle option can still be used, it's not automatically shown at the top of album pages.
The singer released her eagerly awaited fourth album, entitled 30, on Friday.
Adele asked Spotify to get rid of the shuffle option on the album, so that people listen to it in her intended order.
This was the only request I had in our ever changing industry! We don’t create albums with so much care and thought into our track listing for no reason. Our art tells a story and our stories should be listened to as we intended. Thank you Spotify for listening ?♥️ https://t.co/XWlykhqxAy

Tweeting about it Adele said it was the "only request" she's ever had in the industry" - and that artists put "so much thought into" track order - so their "art" should be listened to as they intended.
She also thanked Spotify for listening.
Spotify tweeted their own response to her thanks - saying "Anything for you".
Adele's newest album has enjoyed huge success on the platform.
