Ed. Note: Welcome to our daily feature Trivia Question of the Day!

Which song off of Adele’s 25 album did Brazilian judge Victor Torres recently find plagiarized Toninho Geraes’s “Mulheres” (Women)? The judge ordered Sony and Universal to stop “immediately and globally, from using, reproducing, editing, distributing or commercializing the song[ ], by any modality, means, physical or digital support, streaming or sharing platform.”

Hint: Universal Music is appealing the order, saying both songs use a musical cliché and pointing to works that predate Geraes’s with a similar melody.
