Adele, the singing sensation, makes a triumphant return in 2021. The Grammy-winning singer has smashed countless records with her catchy songs, and she has now joined Rihanna for another. Adele is the second female artist, after Rihanna, to have three songs with over two billion views on YouTube.
Adele and Rihanna both began their musical careers at a young age. Riri was 19 when she released her debut single, Pon de Replay, but the Easy On Me crooner was 18 when she signed her first record deal.
With their lovely voices and numerous awards, the two singers have captivated millions of hearts over the years. While Adele is on tour for her shows and going through a difficult time in her life, she recently reached a new milestone with her songs and collaborated with Rihanna.
Adele's song Someone Like You has received two billion views on YouTube, according to Pop Crave. This is her third track to do so, following Rolling in the Deep and Hello. Previously, Rihanna was the only female artist with three songs that had received over two billion views on the site. Diamonds, This Is What You Came For with Calvin Harris, and Love The Way You Lie with Eminem are the Barbadian singer's tracks that have surpassed two billion views.

Because Rihanna and Adele are the only two female artists who have this record, their fans couldn't help but cheer for them. "Two queens of the music industry," one Twitter user remarked, while another said, "Back when music was good in the 2010s."
"The power they both have, omg," said a third user.
