After collecting a record-equalling (for a solo female) six trophies at the Grammy Awards and winning a further two awards at the BRITs, Adele's (UK, b. Adele Adkins) music enjoyed a sales surge that resulted in the singer-songwriter having two top 5 singles ("Set Fire to the Rain" at No.2 and "Rolling in the Deep" at No.5) and two top 5 albums (21 at No.1 and 19 at No.4) simultaneously on the Billboard 200 on 3 March 2012.
