Adele made music history Friday, topping three charts, as Billboard released their numbers for what they're calling the "year of the woman."
Adele在周五又为流行音乐历史添上了浓墨重彩的一笔。当Billboard公布年度登榜次数数据时，Adele荣登榜首，获得“年度女歌手”的称号。

The soul songstress became the first woman to top the Billboard 200 Album chart for her album 21, the Hot 100 song chart for her song Rolling in the Deep, and the Top Artists chart in the same year. The only other artists or musical acts to claim all three were Usher (2004), 50 Cent (2003), George Michael (1988) and the group Ace of Base (1994).
一年内，这位灵魂歌手凭借专辑《21》、单曲《Rolling in the Deep》问鼎了Billboard三大榜单榜首——Top200专辑榜、Hot100单曲榜、最佳艺人榜，这在历史上前所未见，Adele是第一位取得如此优异成绩的女艺人。在过去的榜单上，只有Usher（2004年）、50 Cent（2003年）、George Michael (1988年)和Ace of Base组合（1994年）曾获得过如此殊荣。

21 spent 13 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200 in 2011 -- more weeks in one year than any other album since the 1998 Titanic soundtrack.
专辑《21》在2011年Billboard Top200专辑榜上连登13周——自从1998年《泰坦尼克号》原声带后，就再也没有哪张专辑可以做到了。

Adele's fellow female singers also made history this year, as, for the first time, the four Top Artists were women, with Rihanna, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga following Adele.
另外紧随Adele其后的女歌手也为流行音乐历史添加了新的一页，又是一个第一次，四位女歌手坐拥最佳艺人榜前4甲，她们分别是：R&M小天后Rihanna, “水果姐”Katy Perry和“雷人酵母”Lady Gaga。
