The Official Charts Company have stated that the album did has been in the UK top 10 since it came out in January of this year.  It was at position number nine this week  and has gone up to position number five which is nearly a year in the top 10 UK album charts.

The British songstress was nominated for six Grammy awards this week for which she got massive publicity for. Hence why the album went up the charts again. She has been nominated for album of the year and song of the year for the ever popular single 'Rolling in the Deep.'

Adele has had massive success in the UK however, she has also managed to conquer America. Which is most UK artists dream. She has managed to sell over 4 million copies in the United States, proving her immense popularity.

The 23 year old talented star sadly had to pull out of a number of live shows and award shows as a result of illness. It is reported that she had to have a benign growth removed from her vocal cords in Boston last month.  However, she is expected to appear at the Grammy awards.
