She wrote her first song, "Hometown Glory." Then in 2008, Adele signed to an independent music label called XL Recordings, where she released her second song, "Chasing Pavements," which made up it to No. 2 for four weeks in the UK Chart.

In response to winning two Grammy Awards for her one and only album, Adele said, "I can't see how this album life span could get any better and I don't feel like it needs to be. I'm already over the moon and blown away with people's response to it."
