Adele is on the cover of the special music issue of Entertainment Weekly.
The 23-year-old Grammy-winning singer looks picture-perfect on the publication's front page while remaining humble in the accompanying column.
Talking about her doubts over the reception her album '21' would find in the States, Adele remembers saying, "I don’t think this record is going to do anything. I can’t feel the buzz in America."
Meanwhile, chairman and CEO of Columbia Records, Rob Stringer, knew that Adele's disc wasn't your run of the mill compilation but, at the same time, he didn't imagine such dominant success (as it's already sold 19 million copies worldwide).
"When everybody heard the record, they knew it was special," Stringer told EW. "But not one person could honestly tell you they thought it would sell this many."
