Billboard has named Adele their top artist of 2016, after a record year that includes sales of her album 25 charting at 9.1 million and counting.
These numbers were no doubt due in part to the British songstress withholding the album from Spotify until 7 months after its initial release, making the album sales a true testament to her fanbase.
This is the third time Adele has clinched the coveted artist of the year title; she previously dominated in 2011 and 2012.
