Adele's new album, 21, is sure to top Billboard next week, as her soulful pop has virtually no serious competitors this week. It's understandable, since her "Chasing Pavements" was a big hit a few years ago, and you can't deny that she's got a serious voice: Watch this performance on Letterman last night for proof. Adele apparently tours with a monster band (like six people), but she's the undeniable center here, belting out the chorus runs with Motown-flavor hand dancing. Letterman loves the shit out of it too.
Adele's 21 is out this week.
