Short clips of each track from the record began appearing online on Tuesday ahead of its official release date on Friday.
And while it was initially rumoured on Twitter that 25 CDs were mistakenly released early by the US retailer Target, a spokesperson for Adele has since rubbished the claim as "not true".
Prior to the leak, a legally-released version of the track 'When We Were Young' from Adele's upcoming third album appeared online.
Adele made her surprise comeback less than a month ago when she debuted her new single 'Hello' and confirmed the release date for her latest album.
And until now the 27-year-old star had managed to avoid having her beloved music leaked.
Meanwhile, Adele is set to appear on a TV special with UK chat show host Graham Norton to celebrate the album's release on Friday before travelling to the US to perform on 'Saturday Night Live'.
