Can you believe it’s been 10 years of Adele’s 21? I remember being 12 years old singing Someone Like You in my room like I had just been through the worst breakup… but I was just a young girl dramatically singing to my cat.

Adele posted to Instagram yesterday saying, “Well I never! Happy 10 years old friend! It’s crazy how little I remember of what it was like and how I felt a decade ago. But Thank You from the bottom of my heart for letting us into your lives and letting me be a soundtrack to some of it x.”

With songs from Rolling in the Deep to Rumour Has It to Set Fire to the Rain the album is outstanding. 21 was first released in Europe and then a month later in North America. This was her first album to top the charts in the US, reaching number 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in March of 2011. At only 22, she was awarded six Grammy Awards for 21, which include Album, Record and Song of the Year. 21 is now the best selling album of the 21st century.

Adele recorded 21 from spring of 2009 until late 2010. She collaborated with songwriters and producers Ryan Tedder, Dan Wilson, Jim Abbiss, Paul Epworth and Rick Rubin. She wrote the album just after splitting from her boyfriend after a year and a half. Which is the explanation for the themes of bitterness, anger and heartbreak through the album.

Adele told The Guardian that whens she found out that Someone Like You had gone to number one, she did the obvious and rewarded herself with a pedicure.

During the release of 21 she found herself fighting with fame. Although, at first it was easy to give into the fame it also frightened her. One day she was annoyed that her laundry was not done when she was used to people doing things for her. When she realized this, she told Tom Lamont, “ I told myself I’d better abseil down. And go and do my fucking laundry.” She also made an interesting point by saying, ” Sometimes I think it’s everyone else that changes, more so than the person who becomes famous.” She has struggled with the fact that a room will go silent when she walks in. She can crack a joke and break the ice but she feels as though she is constantly “performing”.

Adele hasn’t released an album since 2015’s 25 but word on the street is that there is an album in the works. When 25 released, Adele told USA Today, “I’m in that sort of weird limbo state where you’re deciding what is the next chapter of my life? That’s what all my friends and me are going through: We’re having that early-life crisis you have at around 25, looking at 30.”

She also said that she doesn’t think any other album of hers will have the success that 21 had. Adele says, “Every album I ever make will be following 21, because of the impact that album had.”

I mean, I don’t about you, but Adele seems like a pretty cool person. I’m excited to see what is next for her career. I’m sure she will not disappoint.

Now I’m off to go listen to 21 and sing it like I’m 12 years old again.
