Adele can't get her head around her own success

  • February 22, 2012
  • Mikey

After winning six Grammys, two Brits and selling 20m records Adele says she still can’t fathom how well she’s done.

“It just goes over my head really,” she told The Brits press con­fer­ence. “It’s phe­nom­enal, the success of this album – where it’s gone and where it’s taken me is just amazing”.

Adele put the success of ‘21’, which “has done it all on its own”, down to the songs them­selves, saying: “I was halted by my voice problems but the record just carried on walking without me.”

That's a good point actually, we hadn't really thought about it like that.
