Synopsis

Over the past year, Adele has taken the country by storm, sweeping the 2012 Grammy Awards and taking home six titles, including Album of the Year. The British singer-songwriter has been smashing records ever since her 2008 appearance on "Saturday Night Live" and her 2009 Grammy for Best New Artist. The success of her second album, "21", made her the first living artist since the Beatles to have two top-five hits in both the UK singles and albums charts. The album hit the No. 1 spot in 18 different countries. In the U.S., "21" is the longest running number one album by a female in Billboard history, surpassing Whitney Houston's "The Bodyguard". To put it simply, her worldwide success is unmatched.

Media Reviews

2011 will be remembered as the year of Adele. Anderson Cooper, 60 Minutes

21 was the entertainment world's favorite story of 2011 . . . Adele is not rock-'n'-roll. She is not self-consciously retro. She does not shimmy or shake. Hers is a plant-the-feet-and-belt delivery that has all but disappeared from the pop landscape. It should be deeply uncool. And yet, there is something startlingly refreshing about her youthful elegance and commanding presence . . . Adele transcends all notions of hipness. Vogue
