The Number Ones: Adele’s “Easy On Me”
The post The Number Ones: Adele’s “Easy On Me” appeared first on Stereogum .
In "The Number Ones," the author examines every #1 single in Billboard Hot 100 history starting from 1958. This installment focuses on Adele's "Easy On Me," which claimed the top spot on the chart. Adele, known for her unconventional approach to pop stardom, rarely tours, dances, reinvents herself, or collaborates with other artists.
Her music is often soft piano ballads that dominate charts for months. Her 2015 album "25" garnered over a billion plays, and after a six-year hiatus, Adele's fifth chart-topper "Easy On Me" was released. The album saw her collaborate with Greg Kurstin, her regular collaborator. The lead single, "Easy On Me," is a tender breakup ballad, a departure from her usual high-energy, emotionally-charged tracks.
