Adele is really one of the giants of the music world, always scoring resounding hits. “Easy On Me”, the first single from the album “30”, is an example. This Monday, January 24th, was released the update of the Billboard Hot 100 (the main chart of hits in the United States) and guess who was at #1? Yes! “Easy On Me” for its 10th week.
Now, “Easy On Me” matches “Hello” (2015) as the song of her career with the most weeks at #1. If she manages to hold onto the top next week (which is likely), the most recent track will hold the record alone.
