Adele's Struggles in Breaking into the American Music Market

Welcome to Terribly Famous, a new podcast from Wondery which takes you right inside the lives of our most iconic stars. Over this first series, we’ll uncover the rocky road to super-stardom of Britain’s home-grown diva, Adele.

She’s a cheeky London girl with an infectious laugh and a potty mouth. She’s inspired by trauma and heartbreak to write songs. And she’s inspired by stars like Etta James and Nina Simone to sing them. But when her talent makes her a sensation almost overnight, she has to find a way to keep the sensitivity that connects her to her fans from becoming a vulnerability that could destroy her.
