Adele is back! The soulful English singer recently returned to her chart-topping glory after a hiatus, with the release of the eagerly anticipated 30. Adele’s fourth album followed in the footsteps of its predecessors 21 and 25 by landing at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Debuting with a whopping 839,000 in first-week sales, 30 has the largest opening week for an album in 2021. The album’s lead single, “Easy on Me,” has not only reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, but has also topped charts in countries like Canada, Australia, Croatia, Singapore, Italy, South Africa, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

Conquering the music charts is nothing new to Adele. The Academy Award-winner is not only one of the world’s most popular artists today, but she’s also one of the most successful musicians ever—she’s made history several times. She has broken records for her albums, singles and tours. Here, we’ll take a look at a few of the things only Adele has done.
