3. Who Is Adele?
Adele is a British singer-songwriter who has sold
millions of albums worldwide and won a total of 15
Grammys as well as an Oscar. Adele’s first two
albums, 19 and 21, earned her critical praise and a
level of commercial success unsurpassed among
her peers. After becoming a mom in 2012, Adele
returned to the charts with the ballad "Hello" in
2015, the lead single from what was dubbed her
comeback album 25. In 2017, she won five
Grammys for her work on 25, including album,
record and song of the year.

4. Early Life, Education and Influences
Adele Laurie Blue Adkins was born on May 5, 1988, in North London,
England. Adele was the only child of Penny Adkins, an "arty mom" who
was just 18 at the time of her birth, and a Welsh father, Mark Evans, who
left the family when Adele was only four years old.Evans remained in
contact with his daughter up until her teen years, when his problems with
alcohol and increasing estrangement from his daughter caused their
relationship to deteriorate. By contrast, Adele grew close to her mom, who
encouraged her young daughter "to explore, and not to stick with one
thing.“ Early on, Adele developed a passion for music. She gravitated
toward the songs of Lauryn Hill, Mary J. Blige and Destiny's Child. But her
true, eye-opening moment came when she was 15 and she happened
upon a collection of Etta James and Ella Fitzgerald records at a local
shop. “There was no musical heritage in our family,” Adele told The
Telegraph in a 2008 interview. "Chart music was all I ever knew. So when I
listened to the Ettas and the Ellas, it sounds so cheesy, but it was like an
awakening. I was like, oh, right, some people have proper longevity and
are legends. I was so inspired that as a 15-year-old I was listening to
music that had been made in the '40s."While clearly bright, Adele wasn't
oriented towards traditional classroom settings. Instead, her mother
enrolled her in the BRIT School for Performing Arts & Technology, which
counts Amy Winehouse as an alum.While at school, Adele cut a three-
track demo for a class project that was eventually posted on her MySpace
page. When executives at XL Recordings heard the tracks, they contacted

8. Adele’s Top Songs
"Chasing Pavements" (2009)
The first of Adele’s songs to hit the Billboard Hot 100,
“Chasing Pavements,” the lead single from her debut
album, peaked at No. 21 on February 28, 2009. The
singer says she wrote the song after an argument with her
then-boyfriend in a London club. "It was six in the
morning. There was no one chasing me, I wasn't chasing
anyone. I was just running away. I remember saying to
myself, 'What you're chasing is you're chasing an empty
pavement,'" she said.

9. "Rolling in the Deep" (2011)
Adele wrote her first No. 1 Billboard single, “Rolling in the
Deep,” the day after breaking up with her “first real
relationship” that she later said, “made me an adult.” From
her sophomore album 21, the ballad hit a chord with her
listeners, spending seven weeks at the top of the Hot 100
charts beginning on May 21, 2011, as well as 19 weeks at
the top spot on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary charts.

10. "Someone Like You" (2011)
Adele’s second song to hit No. 1 was also from the album 21,
which Adele said she wrote to help her get over her breakup —
reportedly with Alex Sturrock, a 31-year-old photographer.
“Someone Like You” spent five weeks at the No. 1 position on
the Billboard Hot 100 beginning on September 17, 2011.

11. "Rumour Has It" (2012)
From Adele’s album 21, “Rumor Has It,” written for Adele by
singer-songwriter Ryan Tedder, spent 19 weeks on the Billboard
charts, hitting No. 16 on the Hot 100 on May 5, 2012.
"Skyfall" (2012)
The “Skyfall” single, recorded for the James Bond movie of the
same name, hit No. 8 on the Hot 100 Billboard charts on
October 20, 2012.

12. “Hello” (2015)
On October 23, 2015, Adele released the ballad "Hello," an epic
track that again showcased her soaring voice over classic pop
craft. The accompanying visual clip, featuring actor Tristan
Wilds as the romantic interest, was directed by up-and-coming
filmmaker Xavier Dolan and reportedly became the first music
video to be shot with IMAX cameras.
"Hello" debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's pop charts, thus
becoming Adele's fourth chart-topper and making history as the
first single to receive more than 1 million downloads in a week's
time. The song remained at No. 1 for multiple weeks in the
United States as well.

13. Grammys and Awards
Adele has been nominated for 18 Grammys and won a total of 15 at the awards ceremonies in 2009, 2012 and 2017.
She also received a songwriting Oscar for the James Bond track "Skyfall."
At the 2009 Grammy awards, Adele took home Best New Artist. In addition, the album earned the singer the distinction
of being named the "Sound of 2008" by the BBC. That same year, she earned the Critics' Choice prize at the BRIT
Awards.
In 2012, Adele swept the Grammy Awards, taking home six wins, including Album of the Year. "This record is inspired
by something that is really normal and everyone's been through it—just a rubbish relationship," she said at the
ceremony.
In 2013, Adele won her seventh Grammy (Best Pop Solo Performance) for her hit single "Set Fire to the Rain." That
same year, the singer won a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for "Skyfall," the theme song for the 2013 James
Bond film of the same name.
In 2016, Adele performed the ballad "All I Ask," co-written by Bruno Mars, on the 58th Annual Grammy Awards while
dealing with technical glitches from the accompanying piano.
In 2017, Adele returned to the Grammy stage and had to stop her tribute to the late George Michael, a slowed down
version of his song "Fastlove," and start over, saying: "I'm sorry — I can’t mess this up for him." She went on to sing
the song to a standing ovation. She then swept the awards with five wins for her work on 25, including album, record
and song of the year, as well as Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Pop Vocal Album. With her historic wins, Adele
became the first artist in Grammy history to sweep the top three categories twice.
