Adele Laurie Blue Adkins (born 5 May 1988) is an English singer-songwriter.

After graduating from the


BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in 2006, Adele was given a recording contract by XL
Recordings after a friend posted her demo on Myspace the same year. In 2007, she received the Brit
Awards "Critics' Choice" award and won the BBC Sound of 2008 poll. Her debut album, 19, was released
in 2008 to commercial and critical success. It is certified seven times platinum in the UK, and three times
platinum in the US. An appearance she made on Saturday Night Live in late 2008 boosted her career in
the US. At the 51st Grammy Awards in 2009, Adele received the awards for Best New Artist and Best
Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Adele released her second studio album, 21, in early 2011. The album was well received critically and
surpassed the success of her debut, earning the singer numerous awards in 2012, among them a record-
tying six Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year; two Brit Awards, including British Album of
the Year, and three American Music Awards. The album has been certified 16 times platinum in the UK,
and is the fourth best-selling album in the UK of all time.[5] In the US, it has held the top position longer
than any album since 1985, and is certified diamond.[6][7] The album has sold over 31 million copies
worldwide.

The success of 21 earned Adele numerous mentions in the Guinness Book of World Records. She is the
first woman in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 to have three simultaneous top 10 singles as a lead
artist, and the first female artist to simultaneously have two albums in the top five of the Billboard 200
and two singles in the top five of the Billboard Hot 100. 21 is the longest-running number one album by a
female solo artist in the history of the UK and US Album Charts.[11][12] In 2012, she released "Skyfall",
which she wrote and recorded for the James Bond film of the same name. The song won an Academy
Award, a Grammy Award, and a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, as well as the Brit Award
for British Single of the Year. After taking a three-year break, Adele released her third studio album, 25,
in 2015. It became the year's best-selling album and broke first week sales records in the UK and US. 25
was her second album to be certified diamond in the US and earned her five Grammy Awards, including
her second Grammy Award for Album of the Year. The lead single, "Hello", became the first song in the
US to sell over one million digital copies within a week of its release. Her third concert tour, Adele Live
2016, visited Europe, North America and Oceania, and will conclude with four finale concerts at
Wembley Stadium in mid-2017. In 2011, 2012 and 2016, Billboard named Adele Artist of the Year. In
2012, she was listed at number five on VH1's 100 Greatest Women in Music. Time magazine named her
one of the most influential people in the world in 2012[18] and 2016. With sales of more than 100 million
records, Adele is one of the best-selling recording artists in the world.
