Adele already proved she is the queen of music after her latest album "25" shattered every sales record known to mankind, but now the singer has brought her power to television. Last night, NBC broadcasted "Adele Live in New York," which was shot last month at Radio City Music Hall, and it gave the network its biggest ratings for a concert special in 10 years, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The singer's one-hour special had 11.2 million viewers and an incredibly strong 3.0 rating among adults 18-49 on Monday night. The show delivered higher ratings in the adult demo than any other broadcast network concert special since NBC's "Eagles Farewell Tour" on June 1, 2005. "Adele Live in New York" was also the biggest musical special among total viewers since CBS's "Beatles Grammy Salute," which was broadcasted on Feb. 9, 2014, according to Entertainment Weekly.
The British singer released her third studio album titled "25" last month, and its has already sold an astonishing 5.19 million copies in three weeks, according to Billboard. The album debuted at No. 1 and set a record for the most sold albums in a single week, breezing past the former record set by N*SYNC's "No Strings Attached," as HNGN previously reported.
Yesterday, the "Hello" singer announced that was going on tour in North America after she previously announced a European tour. Check out the dates for her North American tour, which starts on July 5 in St. Paul, Minn., and will run until Nov. 15 in Mexico City.
