Her full name is Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, but she is known simply as Adele. She was born in 1988 and is an English singer-songwriter and musician. Adele is one of the best-selling female artists in pop music and has often used the drama in her personal life as inspiration for her songs. Her debut Albums 19 and 21 brought her international fame and success. 21 earned her six Grammy Awards in 2012 including Album of the Year, equalling the record for most Grammy Awards won by a female artist in one night. The album has been certified 16 times platinum in the UK; in the US the album has held the top position longer than any other album since 1985. The success of 21 earned Adele numerous mentions in the Guinness Book Of World Records. She is the first artist to sell more than 3 million copies of an album in a year in the UK.With her two albums and the first two singles from 21, "Rolling in the Deep" and "Someone Like You", Adele became the first living artist to achieve two top five hits in both the UK Official Singles Chart and the Official Albums Chart simultaneously since the Beatles in 1964. 21 is the longest running number one album by a female solo artist on the UK Albums Chart and is the longest running number one album by a female in Billboard history. In 2012, Adele was listed at number five on VH1′s 100 Greatest Women In Music, and American magazine Time named Adele one of the most influential people in the world.
