Adele Makes UK Chart History; To Be US #1


Adele is one of those artists that does not necessarily need to conduct a major promotional campaign for her album to get to that renowned number one spot on the Billboard 200.

Don't get me wrong, I love me those gimmicks, but the refreshing sounds of an artist who can do it all and prove themselves with just their vocal chords and a mic is a remarkable achievement.
