Adele

Full Name: Adele Laurie Blue Adkins
Profession: Singer-songwriter

Biography: One of the best-selling artists in musical history, Adele was the first female in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 to have three singles in the top 10 at the same time as a lead artist.

She was also the first artist to sell more than 3 million copies of an album in a year in the UK. Her 2011 album, 21, received critical acclaim and was an enormous commercial and cultural success, spawning several chart-topping songs such as "Rolling in the Deep" and "Someone Like You." It was the best-selling album of 2011 and 2012 and one of the best-selling albums in history with 31 million copies sold. Her James Bond theme song "Skyfall" earned her an Academy Award in 2012.

After a three-year hiatus Adele released her third album, 25, which broke further commercial records, became the best-selling album of 2015 and, in the United States, became the fastest-selling album in history. These records and consistent, crossover commercial success have made her one of the best-regarded musical artists of her generation.
