Adele

"Can I Get It" is a song by English singer Adele from her fourth studio album, 30 (2021). Adele wrote the song with its producers, Max Martin and Shellback. It was released by Columbia Records as the album's sixth track on 19 November 2021. A pop song with pop rock and country pop influences, "Can I Get It" has acoustic guitar, drum, and horn instrumentation and a whistled hook. The song is about moving on from a breakup and desiring a committed relationship, exploring Adele's search for true love and a new relationship. Music critics were generally positive about its acoustic portion and lyrics but highly criticised its whistled hook. They thought the brazen pop production of "Can I Get It" catered to the tastes of mainstream radio, which made it an outlier on 30, and compared it to Flo Rida's single "Whistle" (2012). The song reached the top 20 in Sweden, Canada, Switzerland, Australia, Finland, and Norway and entered the top 40 in some other countries. (This article is part of a featured topic: 30 (album).)

Picture of the day for May 5, 2024
Ruddigore

Ruddigore is a comic opera in two acts, with music by Arthur Sullivan and libretto by W. S. Gilbert. The tenth of fourteen comic operas written together by Gilbert and Sullivan, it was first performed by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company at the Savoy Theatre in London in 1887. Some critics and audience members initially felt that Ruddygore (its original title) did not measure up to its predecessor, The Mikado. After changes, including respelling the title, it achieved a run of 288 performances and was profitable. This illustration by Amédée Forestier depicts scenes from the opera for The Illustrated London News. Since D'Oyly Carte revived the piece in 1920, it has been regularly performed.

Although it may be 'best practice' or somesuch that Ghandi shouldn't be listed on two selected anniversaries articles, this date is a bit America-heavy... What about the rest of the world? --

I find it sad to note that every single event in the selected anniversiaries today is related to USA. I'll see if I can't find something else to put in there. ✏ Sverdrup 09:23, 5 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

5th May 1821

I red the FAQ (Q4) but still... IMHO it still seems to me that this date should be here. It is a date of a death of Napoleon Bonaparte. That is an important anniversary at this date. He was a person, who conquered almost the entire Europe... he was in fact tha arch-enemy of Britain... Grand homme, qui est mort sur petite île...
I red the FAQ but I still don't know why he is not there.
Thanks for answer

Articles about Napoleon are featured throughout the year, although it does appear the main article about that man himself is not currently assigned to any date. The anniversary of his death will be eligible to be listed in 2021 on the 200th anniversary. —

2021 req

2021 is the 200th anniversary of the death of Napoleon. I've already added it the the page as a hidden entry, just needs unhiding at the time. Mjroots (talk) 05:32, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Any chance of getting

Lusophone Culture Day onto the holidays list? The Community of Portuguese Language Countries article that is linked is reasonably well sourced and the day itself is referenced in the "History" section. —  AjaxSmack  13:09, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply
