Photos: Adele, our favorite since 2009
1 / 11
Way back in 2009 we picked a selection of brand new recording artists who were knocking our collective socks off. The 2009 Grammys were kind to British soul-pop singer Adele, who won two awards, including Best New Artist. Rounding out our favorites back then were Estelle, Lady Antebellum, Zac Brown Band, Lost Trailers and Janelle Monae. But our first pick was Adele. We must have great taste.
