History Awesome / Adele

* Adele was once featured on the front page of Vogue with an obviously photoshopped picture of herself on the cover. [[http://boston.cbslocal.com/2012/02/14/adeles-vogue-magazine-cover-causing-controversy/ Not only was this made without her consent]], she has made her disapproval of it well known. She's quoted as saying "I’ve never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. . . . I represent the majority of women, and I’m very proud of that.”"

* Adele has pretty much avoided a {{Hatedom}}, with everyone acknowledging her talent and her general reception being lukewarm ''at worst''.

* That "Rolling In the Deep", a soul-folk song, made it to the top of the charts in the age of Music/{{Kesha}}, Music/KatyPerry and Music/LadyGaga.

* Becoming the first singer - out of the likes of Music/ShirleyBassey, Music/TomJones, Music/LouisArmstrong, Music/PaulMcCartney, Music/CarlySimon, Music/SheenaEaston, Music/DuranDuran, (gasp) hold on a sec, Gladys Knight, Music/{{Madonna}} Music/TinaTurner, and Music/SherylCrow - to win an Oscar for a Bond theme song (for ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'').

At which point, it will start breaking records on the music charts of every other planet in our solar system. And then hipster aliens from a far away planet who only listen to underground stuff from Pluto will hear ''25'', get just as obsessed with Adele as we have, and shoot it to the top of the charts of Blorg 6.

** Fun trivia about *NSYNC's record: The Backstreet Boys initially set the record for fastest-selling album when ''Millennium'' sold 1.1 million copies in its first week. Due to FandomRivalry, *NSYNC fans were determined to beat that by buying multiple copies of ''No Strings Attached'' when it came out, and they succeeded. Adele's fans beat that record and they weren't even ''trying''.
