I think this discussion is funny personally I don't think race has anything to do with Adele's success. Personally I love her and it was her music that had me look her up and purchase her album. Just happened to be in my aunt car while she was playing her music. When I heard one and only I was sold. I don't think she has "black " music. I personally hear the Beatles, a little country, some soul is there but she I different and just has a sound that no one else has today I love her. And to those that say they don't know any black people who listen to Adele well I don't know any person at all black or white that don't have 21. Everybody blames everything on race. Omg the woman has talent don't be a hater just congratulate her on her success and let her have her moment. Oh and I dint know what color she was when I sought her album out
