Soulful songstress Adele has much cause for celebration this week; after her hotly anticipated sophomore set ’21’ hit #1 in a whopping 16 countries. Not one for complacence, though, the British Grammy winner stopped by BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge today for a spine-tingling live set, which included a cover of Cheryl Cole‘s smash ‘Promise This’.

Take a listen after the jump…

The jokes clearly write themselves here. Cheryl’s original couldn’t hold a candle to this. Something I suspect Adele and her team cheekily knew and played on from the outset. In any case, stunning performance!
