Congrats to Adele. There’s a rumor that she “confirmed” her marriage to sports agent Rich Paul recently. Also, she’s got more sold out dates in Las Vegas at Caesars Palace.

Well, you can’t have everything. Billboard posted the top 20 female artists of 2023 and guess who’s not on it?

Adele is one of the least prolific recording artists of all time. She let six years go between her last two albums. Now two years have passed since her

“30” album, which wasn’t that great and not nearly as big a seller as “25.”
If only Adele would work with a great producer, choose important songs, try some new things, maybe put out a single here and there. Then she would be back on the list.

as for songwriters, what happened to her main guy, Paul Epworth? She needs him without a doubt.
