The “Hello” songstress, 28, previously aced the charts with her 2011 album “21,” which reached Diamond Status in less than two years. She is the second female artist to attain two Diamond albums since Britney Spears’ victorious launch of her albums “Baby One More Time” in 1999 and “Oops I Did It Again” in 2000.
Adele’s previous albums also performed well in sales. Her debut album, “19,” is now 3x Platinum while “Hello” is 7x Platinum. Gianna Francesca Catolico
