Adele Hello

Sushmita Sen shared a picture collage video featuring her daughter Renee's rendition of Adele's top song Hello from her Grammy-Award winning album 25

This year, Adele brought her broom. 25 won album of the year, and her heart-squeezing ballad, Hello, ended up besting Beyonce's commanding Formation for song and record of the year. Having swept every category she was nominated in back in 2012, the British balladeer pulled off a repeat on Sunday

Beyonce received nods in nine categories for the music industry's biggest night including Album of the Year for Lemonade, her contemplative look at African-American women that she intertwined with a movie

Adele came in second with eight nominations. All but seven were for the chart-topping English balladeer's Hello, which with more than 1.6 billion views is the fifth most watched video ever on YouTube

"The LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer) community... They are like my soulmates since I was really young," Adele said, before starting to cry in front of the crowd.

Taylor's 1989 defeated Adele's 25, Beauty Behind the Madness by The Weeknd, Sam Smith's In the Lonely Hour and Ed Sheeran's X to win the top honour. But Adele's Hello left Taylor's Blank Space behind in the Song of the Year category

Astronaut Tim Peake presented Adele with a Global Success Award for her record-breaking latest album 25, which also won the Album of the Year Award while Hello won the Best Single and she was also named Best Female Solo Artist. Adele took to the stage in tears, saying: "My kid is going to think I'm so cool."

But "Hello" still has far to go to catch up to "Gangnam Style" in total views.

David Bowie has broken a record for most views of his music videos in the aftermath of his death. His song Lazarus scored 51 million views, which marked Vevo's highest number of views ever in a single day for an artist's catalog, wresting the record from fellow British artist Adele whose videos were seen 36 million times

In the absolutely brilliant mash-up of the song, YouTube user Matthijs Vlot has created his own version of the superhit ballad by stitching together fragments of dialogue from various movies. The video begins with the word 'Hello' as spoken by Sacha Baron Cohen's character Ali G and ends with 'anymore' as spoken by Homer Simpson

With the move, Adele becomes the most high-profile holdout from streaming since Taylor Swift.

Hello, a piano ballad that is the debut single from the British pop star's first album in nearly five years, opened at number one for the week through on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. For digital sales only, Hello was downloaded 1.1 million times, far outpacing the previous record holder

Taylor Swift's Bad Blood from her album 1989, which premiered in May last year, had around 20.1 million views in the first 24 hours. Adele's comeback song Hello from 25 had more than 27 million plays in its first 24 hours. 25 will be Adele's third album after 19 and 21

Adele's last album 21, which released in 2011, is by far the best-selling album so far in the 21st century. In 2012, she last gave vocals to the theme song of Bond film Skyfall. Referring to the wait since her last album, she wrote in an open letter: "I'm sorry it took so long, but you know, life happened"

The advertisement contained just white text on a black background and Adele's voice could be heard singing the words: "Hello, it's me. I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet to go over everything. They say that time's supposed to heal you, but I ain't done much healing."
