The Rumor Has It Adele Will Return to No.1

Expect ‘Rumour Has It’ to become British singer-songwriter Adele’s next Hot 100 chart-topping single when it’s released later this month. ‘Turning Tables’ charted following its inclusion in Glee (where Gwyneth Paltrow performed it), yet it was never officially released as an Adele single in the US. A bit disappointing if you ask me, the track was issued as a single in Italy and the Netherlands for instance.

Haven already placed ‘Rolling in the Deep,’ ‘Someone Like You’ and ‘Set Fire to the Rain’ atop the Billboard Hot 100, this new single has already started climbing US charts. I’ve blogged about Adele’s hugely successful “21” album ever since the countdown to the original release back in January 2011. Back then, ‘Rolling in the Deep’ had just been announced as the first new single preceding the set.

• ‘The Rumour Has It’ topped the US Triple A chart one in week in August 2011
• The song was released to mainstream radio in the UK last November
• The Glee Cast has charted with a mash-up of ‘Someone Like You’ and ‘Rumour Has It,’ peaking at No.11 on the Hot 100
• Co-writer and producer Ryan Tedder is the frontman of the pop rock band OneRepublic
