Just in case you're a little behind, Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, or simply Adele, is one of the freshest, rawest, most talented beings to hail from the land of the UK since I don't know when.
Not only is Adele sweeping the worldwide charts with her latest album, 21, but she's breaking records as she does it. Adele's current singles, Rolling in the Deep and Someone Like You, sit at #4 and #1 respectively on the Official UK Charts. She is the first artist to have two singles in the top five since The Beatles in 1964.
In addition, both of Adele's albums - 21 and 19 - sit at #1 and #2 on the Official UK Charts. As if that isn't an achievement in itself!
Let's move on.
In case you didn't catch it, but after her brilliant performance at the BRIT Awards just recently, Someone Like You debuted at #1 - a mean feat considering Adele fought off Lady Gaga's Born This Way in the same week when every other country in the world (almost) is seeing Gaga debut at #1.
Ok... but let's not stop there.
On Adele's recent promo tour of the US (that coincided with the release of 21), she performed at the CMT Artists Of The Year Event with Darius Rucker, covering Lady Antebellum's Need You Now. What a performance! If you love the original, you'll die when you hear Adele's.
But wait, there's more.
Speaking of her US promo tour, did I mention that according to Billboard.com, 21 is set to debut at #1 there? I can already see her sweep the Grammys next year...
Not convinced that Adele is sheer grace and elegance? Well get a listen to this - Adele covering Cheryl Cole's Promise This on Radio One's Live Lounge. Sorry Chezza, but Adele kicks your ass in this track.
Phew. I'm almost worn out from the excitement and damage that Adele does to my heart (it may or may not skip a beat every time she sings. Just sayin'). If you are not convinced of her fresh, raw, amazing, unbeatable talent... well I'm sorry, there is nothing more I can do for you here.
Seriously - get out there and support her!
