Global superstar Adele is famous for naming her studio albums after her age at the time of their production. Her debut album, '19' (2008), was followed by '21' (2011), '25' (2015), and '30' (2021). These titles act as a sonic diary, documenting her emotional growth, heartbreaks, and experiences with motherhood. '21' remains one of the best-selling albums of the 21st century, winning six Grammys and staying at number one for 24 weeks. Adele has stated that '30' would likely be the last album named after an age, as she feels she has moved past that specific way of categorizing her life. Her soul-stirring vocals and vulnerable songwriting have earned her an EGOT-adjacent status (lacking only a Tony) and made her one of the most successful artists of the modern era.
