With over 3.4 million albums sold (and in just ten months, please!), Adele dethroned Amy Winehouse. The two singers have also more than one common point. Voluminous hairstyles, English origin, Adele and Amy Winehouse stand out from others through their raucous voices and their songs and jazzy soul. If “21″ exceeds the 3.5 million sales, it will become simply the best-selling album of all time in the UK!

Adele takes all

Nominated six times, nothing that, at the Grammy Awards 2012, where she went along with favorite Kanye West, the English singer is also popular with the French public. Nominated in two categories at the NRJ Music Awards, to be held on January 28, Adele did better than Lady GaGa! Adele claims the title of international revelation of the year and international song of the year for her ballad “Someone Like You”.

Adele is the anti-Gaga. Where the new wave of pop singers of the caliber of Lady GaGa, Rihanna and Brit-Brit put everything on the show, the entertainment as the Americans like to say, Adele imposes its voice. It is actually quite sober on stage and in her videos, because her songs and she voice enough to live in her fans. The English singer also seems to agree with this perception, since it declared itself “make music for the ears and not eyes.” What speaks best of the singer, it’s finally her songs.

Rolling in the Deep, the legendary (2010)

Rolling in the Deep is not the first tube of Adele but with this role, she won a wider audience, not just English, not just European. A great title, and in addition very efficient since the chorus of Rolling in the deep is heady, and did not try to hold the note as the beautiful Englishwoman.

Someone Like You, The Ballad (2011)

With Someone Like You, Adele reconciles everyone with the genre of the ballad, often shunned in recent years in favor of pop and electro sounds.

Views on YouTube: 70 million for her performance live at the O2 Arena in London, 45 million for the official video.

At each ceremony its winners. Last night, it is no surprise Taylor Swift and Adele who won the most awards at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles where there was the American Music Awards ceremony, famous event which annually recognizes artists who excelled in the charts. On the one hand, the young American country-pop singer of 22 years was presented with three awards: one for Artist of the Year, Best Female and Best Country Album for country Speak Now – which had already sold over a million, copies in its first week of release in the United States. On the other hand, Adele the British voice in recent months, won the award for best pop-rock performer, best contemporary artist and best pop album for her album-rock 21, which has already topped 12 million copies sold worldwide.

Rihanna, Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez honored

Also called, Beyoncé, Rihanna and Jennifer Lopez are still not parties empty handed that evening. The woman Jay-Z and mom won the award for best actress, an award she was pleased with monitor screens last night, and her pregnancy prevented her from having to go to the event.

Last month Pitbull and Nicki Minaj unveiled the nominees for the 2011 American Music Awards, the two singers also part of the list of lucky winners.

With three nominations each, Lady GaGa and Katy Perry will be the main opponent’s of Adele. The prestigious (and mixed) Artist of the Year category is invaded by women. Adele, Lady GaGa, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift will compete for the title. Lil Wayne, Which is the only man named in this category, will also defend his chances.

With an album released this year and a series of clips and landmark theatrical performance, the future mother is named in two categories: Artist Soul / R & B Album and Soul / R’n'B. In these two categories, it will be measured to a rival in size in the person of Rihanna.

Nicki Minaj, who successfully imposed himself in the rap/hip-hop Album categories and rap/hip-hop artist, will be the only woman in these categories.
