Adelle made everyone cry so much with her single Someone Like You that it hits no. 1 on the Billboard Charts on this date.
Adele had boundless resources at her disposal, but all this song needed was two people, two days, and a studio with a grand piano. She wrote and recorded it at Harmony Studios in Los Angeles with Dan Wilson of the band Semisonic, whose co-writing credits include Not Ready To Make Nice with Dixie Chicks and Hidden Away with Josh Groban. The demo they recorded at the end of their second day (with Wilson on piano) ended up being so good that Adele decided to use it as the actual recording. She tried recording it with a band and a full orchestra, but couldn’t beat that demo.
