Adele is a worldwide superstar known for her very powerful vocals, melodies, and heartfelt lyrics, and she deserves the credit and fan support.
She has released three albums so far in her career; all reached #1 on the UK charts, and reached #4, #1, and #1 in the US. She has had four #1 singles in the US already, including "Rolling in the Deep", "Someone Like You", "Set Fire To The Rain", and most recently "Hello".
Which one is her best song though? I personally assume one of her early #1 hits was most deserving, because she didn't have the already-existing huge fan base. Even though "Hello" is a great song, it's almost as if Adele's first single from this new album was destined to be #1. Millions of fans waited a few years for Adele's followup album, with high anticipation.

It's obviously extremely difficult, if not impossible, to match Adele's wondrous success. But don't you think Lake Street Dive should at least reach the Billboard Top 100?
I can definitely imagine some #1 hits, though that would just be an amazing prediction and a great ear for music. It's still too early to tell, but their new album comes out February 19, 2016.
