Adele

Adele is a British pop/soul singer who released her debut album, 19, in 2007. Sadly, none of the singles from that album charted, but in 2011 she released the monster #1 album 21 and had her first four chart entries go to #1. She is also the second artist to have the top three on my chart in one week, the first being Tori Amos back in 2005. Adele has also been #1 on the chart for 18 weeks in a row (July 31st - November 27th 2011), with three different songs, surpassing Pearl Jam's record of 14 weeks in a row at #1.

Adele's second JT40 #1 "Set Fire To The Rain" became the first song in chart history to spend at least one year (52 weeks) inside the top 40, and also became the first song to place inside the year end top 10 in two different years. In June 2013, "Set Fire To The Rain" was named JT40's #1 song of all time in a retrospective commemorating 10 years since the chart's debut.
