Adele domination on the music charts: The British singer is Billboard’s top artist of 2012.<\/h1>\n

Billboard said on Friday Adele is the year’s biggest artist and her diamond 21 album, released in February 2011, is this year’s top album. Adele earned both prizes last year.<\/p>\n

The year’s top three songs are Gotye’s Somebody That I Used to Know, Carly Rae Jepsen’s Call Me Maybe and fun.’s We Are Young, respectively.<\/p>\n

Adele is also the top female artist. Drake is the top male artist, One Direction is the top new artist and Maroon 5 is the year’s top group.<\/p>\n

Billboard said Drake, Taylor Swift, fun. and Don Omar are the top acts in the R&B\/hip-hop, country, rock and Latin fields, respectively.<\/p>\n

Adele’s second album was also the fourth best seller in the UK iTunes chart of the year, with Emeli Sande’s Our Version of Events taking top spot.<\/p>\n

Following its release in February 2011, 21 performed strongly in the US music charts after Adele’s Grammy-sweeping win in six categories in February this year.<\/p>\n

She has also landed Screen Actors Guild and Golden Globe nominations for her James Bond theme song Skyfall this week, becoming a strong contender in the best song category for Hollywood’s awards season.<\/p>\n

She said in a statement on Thursday: “Thank you so much for the honour of being included in something as brilliant as the Golden Globes! Never in a million years did I ever think I’d come close to such a thing!”<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
