Although Adele always makes us cry with her heartbreaking songs, it’s her edge because she does it perfectly! After going on break for quite some time, from which she revealed to Oprah her reasons, she is now back with yet another great single. Her newly released single “Easy on Me” is also an easy way to your tear ducts.

Adele is a 32-year-old singer-songwriter from London. Though she’s an English singer, her songs have been on top of every chart worldwide. Adele uses her age to name her albums, representing a certain period of her life covered.

For instance, her 2008 album was titled 19, her 2011 album was titled 21, and her 2015 album was 25. Recently, she released her album 30 for this year, 2021. It’s quite clear how the pattern goes in naming her album.

While her new single “Easy on Me” has been crawling its way on top of the charts, her biggest hit since her debut was still “Rolling in the Deep.” From album 21, this hit was number one on the 2011 year-end Hot 100. This single has stayed in its number one spot for seven weeks and won Grammy’s song of the year. Considering her other songs’ ranking and duration on the top charts, nothing beats “Rolling in the Deep” as her biggest hit.

3. Someone Like You

Whether it’s the one that got away, that first comes to your mind when you hear this. Adele exactly nailed how that feels on this song. This Grammy-winning song was one of the three chart-topping singles from her album 21. Aside from her high-pitched voice hitting it high on the chorus, “Don’t forget me, I beg/I’ll remember you said,” her genuine feelings while singing it give justice to the beauty of this song.

4. Hello

9. Make You Feel My Love

While other stars covered this 1997 Bob Dylan classic like Garth Brooks and Billy Joel, Adele’s version is finest. This song was from her debut album 19. Even if this song is her remake, Adele sings it like it’s her own.

10. When We Were Young

The genius piano melodies on this song will get your feelings all hyped up. While this is the second single on album 25, the songwriter Tobias Jesso Jr. had laid the right amount of melancholic rhythm.
