ADELE GARNERS SIX GRAMMY AWARD NOMINATIONS | 02/12/2011
Adele has earned an impressive six GRAMMY Award Nominations for her hugely successful second album “21”. Adele has been nominated in major categories including Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Album of the Year. Nominations for the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards were announced last night by The Recording Academy at a ceremony in Los Angeles.
It has been an incredible year for Adele, starting with her Number 1 album "21" which has become the UK’s biggest selling album of the 21st century selling 3.5 million copies, her Number 1 single "Someone Like You", the global smash "Rolling In The Deep" and her spellbinding live appearance on The Brits. Her sophomore album "21" has become the biggest selling album in the world this year -14 million copies sold worldwide and counting - and "21"and "19" remain the UK’s 1st and 2nd highest selling albums so far. 21 spent 39 consecutive weeks in the top 5 of Billboard Top Albums chart since its release in February, the most weeks by any artist in the chart’s 55 year history. According to Billboard, “It surpasses Michael Jackson’s "Bad," which racked 38 straight frames in the top five following its bow at No. 1 on Sept. 27, 1987.”
Adele has received rave reviews for her live shows and recently released the dvd/cd “Adele Live At The Royal Albert Hall”; recorded at the height of this amazing year, it showcases exactly why Adele has become one of the most sought after live performers in the world. Available on DVD and Blu-Ray, it features the full 90 minute performance, plus behind the scenes footage shot throughout that day. The package also contains an exclusive live CD of the entire show. This is the first time fans will be able to hear all of Adele’s hits and best loved songs on one CD plus her stunning covers of Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me” and The Steeldrivers “If It Hadn’t Been For Love.”
