This month we are celebrating the birthday of one of the
female pop idols that has managed to inspire many young girls to follow their
dreams and work hard for it. The 28-year-old star started her career when she
received a recording contract by XL Recordings after her friend posted a video
of her singing on MySpace.
Her first album, 19, released in 2007 was a huge success and
since then her career has been spiraling upwards. Although there was a long
time between her first and second album, released in 2011, it didn’t seem to
affect her career; in fact it made people more excited about the second album
that was finally being released after a long wait.
After the success of her second album, Adele became the
first woman to have three simultaneous top 10 singles as a lead artist in the
history of Billboard hot 100, and the first female artist to have 2 albums
simultaneously in the top 5 of the billboard hot 100.
With many musical awards under her belt, Adele was
recognized as one of the most influential people of 2012 and 2016 by Time
magazine. Her albums have the highest number of sales in the US and UK and her
songs are one of the most listened to all over the world.
According to CBC Music, Adele’s top 10 songs are ranked as
follows:-
- Rolling in the Deep
- Someone Like You
- Set Fire to the Rain
- Rumor has it
- Chasing Pavements
- Cold Shoulder
- Hello
- Hometown Glory
- Skyfall
- Make you Feel my Love
