Dave Grohl named Adele his favorite singer

Jan 01, 2012
Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl claimed that Adele is his favorite artist among modern musicians. He also said he would like all singers to try being like her, cause it's the way to stop the declining of music sales.

"Someone asked me recently: "What do you think the problem with the music industry is?" I said, take the Adele's record 21, for example. It's an amazing record and everybody's so shocked that it's such a phenomenon. I'm not. You know why that record's huge? Because it's good and it's real", claimed he.

Recently it was announced that Adele's second studio effort 21 has become the top-selling record of 2011 in the US, clocking up 5.82 million copies. The effort also spent 14 weeks on the first place of Billboard sales chart – it is the second best result ever, overcome only by Titanic movie soundtrack that spent 16 weeks on top.

At the same time, Adele's song Rolling In The Deep was named the best-selling single of last year in US, being bought 5.81 million times.
