2011 has been an eventful year for the music industry and although several artists experienced commercial upsets, there were those who enjoyed incredible success. Of couse, no other act made an impact on the Billboard Year-End charts quite like Adele.

Indeed, Adele dominated the 2011 as the yea’s breakthrough act and left her mark on multiple Year-End tallies. In addition to nabbing the Top Artist title ahead of Rihanna, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, Adele also clocked the top Billboard Hot 100 song with ‘Rolling in the Deep’, which held the #1 slot of seven weeks – longer than any other track this year – and sold over 5.5 million downloads.

Furthermore, Adele’s ’21′ album has been listed as the top Billboard 200 album with sales exceeding 4.67 million copies since its release in February. The British Soul singer rebuffed fierce competition from Taylor Swift’s ‘Speak Now’ and Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’, which landed at #2 and #3 on the Year-End list, respectively.

The Year-End Chart comprised the top releases of the December 4th 2010 to November 26 2011 period. The Top New Artist list reflected those new acts who released albums after October 2010.
