A Brazilian judge has ruled that an Adele song must be removed from streaming services due to a plagiarism claim by the composer Toninho Geraes.
The track in question is Million Years Ago, which appeared on Adele’s 2015 album, 25. Geraes, a 62-year-old Brazilian songwriter alleges that the Adele track too closely resembles his own 1995 samba hit Mulheres and is seeking royalties to the tune of $160,000 (£127,000) and a songwriting credit.
