As talented and appealing as she is, it's easy to forget how utterly dominant Adele was in 2011: in an era where even the highest-tier musicalacts can struggle to move records, her sophomore effort, 21, sold 17 million copies worldwide and spent 16 weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 chart, the longest of any record since 1998's Titanic soundtrack. Combined with sales of her previous album, 19, Adele has topped the UK charts for 21 weeks — a feat only matched by Oasis and Queen.
