4. Adele
English-born singer Adele is perhaps the most successful female musician since she broke onto the scene in 2006. Adele says the Spice Girls were a major influence in her life and helped her love music.
Adele has released three albums in her career, selling more than 58 million albums worldwide, with her 2011 album “21” selling an astonishing 31 million copies. For her three albums, Adele has won dozens of awards, including 15 Grammy Awards. Adele even won an Academy Award for her performance of “Skyfall” in 2011.
Adele has one of the most powerful and beautiful voices in the world, and there is no doubt that her next album will smash records, just like her previous three albums did.
