For the third year (previously in 2011 and 2012,) Adele has been named Billbord’s Artist of the Year. No, Bieber and Beyoncé and Drake fans, this does not mean they like her the most – it means she’s gotten more sales than anyone else, and securely earned her spot.

Despite releasing her third album, 25, in November of last year, the project sold a cool 9 million copies throughout the year. (Not to mention that it debuted with sales of 3.4million – a record in the Nielson era of the chart!) 25 remained at number one for 10 weeks, and in the top 10 for many months. Likewise the album’s debut single, “Hello,” also clocked up the exact same number of weeks on the Hot 100 chart.
