As explained by BBC News: "Her second album, 21, has now spent the same length of time at the top spot as Madonna's first greatest hits record, The Immaculate Collection, in 1990."
She was first noticed at just 19 years-old as the winner of the BBC's Sound of 2008. Both of the singers albums '19' and her latest, '21' have been hugely popular in several countries topping charts and selling up 1.5 million copies.
Adele is extraordinary, yet when I first heard her voice it didn't appeal to me so much and she wasn't really an artist that I took time to identify with but with her recent success and her absolutely beautiful music my interest has grown and I can confidently say her voice is amazing. Her most recent song, 'Someone like you' is extraordinary. Her performance at the 2011 Brit Awards was a powerful and emotional display of true talent. It's been highly viewed on you tube and it's a performance I cannot get enough of.
It's one of those songs that you have to stop what you are doing and listen to it, listen to the words that Adele sings and listen to the tone of song. It's powerful and I think you'd agree it tugs on your heart strings and it really makes you feel especially for all those people out there which can identify with the words.
I mention this song in particular but all her other songs are similar, the capture you for a couple of minutes and they strike a reaction because the words mean something and the way the Adele sings them is honestly wonderful and full of feeling.
Next time you hear one of her songs, actually listen to the words they aren't just thrown together to make a good sounds, they tell a story.
