30 by Adele
30 is an album by Adele, released in 2021. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 14 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Easy On Me”, on 11 lists with a best position of #5.
30, Adele's fourth album, arrived on Columbia on 19 November 2021, six years after 25, and it's the most exposed she has ever sounded. She started work on it in 2018, and the songs grew out of her divorce, the anxiety that came with it and what it meant for her son, along with motherhood and the weight of fame. Greg Kurstin, Max Martin, Inflo, Tobias Jesso Jr., Ludwig Göransson, Shawn Everett and Shellback all took turns at the desk.
The palette is wider than before: pop and soul with jazz in the bloodstream, plus dance-pop, gospel and R&B flourishes, all built around that voice. "Easy on Me" went to number one in both the US and the UK, with "Oh My God" and "I Drink Wine" close behind. It topped the charts in 25 countries, sold 5.54 million copies to become the year's best-selling album worldwide, and won the Brit for British Album of the Year, making her the first solo artist to take that prize three times.
