Overview
Adele has scooped three Guinness World Records for her second album '21'.
The record, which was released earlier this year, has dominated album charts around the world, and particularly in the UK and USA.
Her hat-trick of records include becoming the first solo female to have 11 consecutive weeks at number one in the UK and most cumulative weeks - 21 - at the summit.
She has also become the first woman to have two albums and two singles in the UK top-five at the same time.
Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief for Guinness World Records, said: "Adele is a wonderful role model for aspiring singers - and for all young people.
"Her unique vocal talents have rightly propelled her to stardom on both sides of the Atlantic, and her honest attitude to fame is refreshing."
The new book of Guinness World Records is published on Thursday (September 15).
