19 is Adele's debut album. It was released on 28 January 2008, the week after the lead single, "Chasing Pavements", was physically released. It debuted at number one on the UK charts on its first week.[1] Included is a cover of the Bob Dylan song "Make You Feel My Love" from his 1997 album, Time Out Of Mind.
The album was nominated for the 2008 Mercury Prize in the category of Best Album.[2]. On December 3, 2008, the album spawned four Grammy Award nominations: Best New Artist, and Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "Chasing Pavements".[3]
The Taiwanese edition was released on March 5. As well as the standard tracklist, the album features three bonus tracks: "That's It I Quit I'm Movin' On" ("Chasing Pavements" B-side), "Now and Then" ("Cold Shoulder" B-side) and "Painting Pictures" ("Make You Feel My Love" B-side).[4] The Indonesian special edition was released on March 3. As well as the standard tracklist, the album features a bonus video for "Chasing Pavements".[5]
The song "Hometown Glory" has been featured in the British and American television shows Skins, Grey's Anatomy, One Tree Hill, Hollyoaks, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, and most recently danced by Katee Shean and eventual winner, Joshua Allen on So You Think You Can Dance. Adele recently joked in an interview with GMTV that the album was named "19" after her weight in stone, but in fact she weighs 23 stone.
In the U.S 19 debuted at #56 and remained in the lower ends of the Billboard 200 for many proceeding weeks. After a performance on the U.S show "Saturday Night Live" it rose to #46 and a week later to #11 with sales of 25,000+ copies sold. In 2009, after winning 2 Grammy Awards, the album rose to a new peak of #10 on the Billboard 200 and total sales reached 708,191, the album is now certified Gold by the RIAA.[6]
In the Netherlands the album is currently still in the top 20 after already spending 92 weeks in the charts. With sales over 200,000 copies makes the album one of the best selling albums in the Netherlands of 2008 and 2009
