Adele

Set Fire to the Rain only got to #11 in the UK? Huh.

It's currently the #1 song here in America. Not only that, Adele's two prior songs (Rolling In The Deep & Someone Like You) both got to #1 as well.

Yes, its true, it peaked at #11. Although, it has continued to sell well for a track that peaked outside of the top 10. The album has shifted over 3.8 million copies in the uk, which is huge considering the album is only a year old.

I can appreciate the comment about her music being bluesy. 21 is a break-up record, its personal. There is the possibility that she may make more of a happier record next time.

I liked Chasing Pavements when it was released. However, it was Hometown Glory that finally persuaded me to buy 19 on that singles re-release in the UK.
