Chart News: Adele vaults to #1 on Hot 100


While several of today's biggest artists have struggled with sales and finding a hit song, Adele continues to prove that being true to yourself musically does pay off. With 9 million copies of "21" sold thus far worldwide since it's mid-Winter release, Adele has been proving that great songs, songwriting, and vocals do and can still mean a success. With that said, Adele's latest single in the US "Someone Like You," has just vaulted up the Hot 100 to #1 from its previous place of #19 on the charts. Thus, the song becomes Adele's second #1 hit behind her smash hit "Rolling in The Deep" which spent 7 weeks at the summit and is the only digital track in US history thus far to sell 5 million copies in the same year.

Ridding high on the chart success of "21" as well as the renewed interest in her debut album "19," it should be interesting to see where Adele will take her career next.
