Adele won six Grammy Awards connected with her album 21. The achievement came at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards in February 2012, when the album and its songs dominated the ceremony after a year of extraordinary commercial and critical success.
The six wins were Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for 21; Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Short Form Music Video for “Rolling in the Deep”; and Best Pop Solo Performance for “Someone like You.” Adele also received the ceremony’s three major artist awards, including Album, Record, and Song of the Year.
A common source of confusion is the number seven. Producer Paul Epworth won Producer of the Year, Non-Classical at the same ceremony, and his award is sometimes counted alongside Adele’s album-era Grammy haul. Adele herself won six awards, making six the correct answer to this question.
The album’s Grammy success followed its release in 2011 and helped establish it as one of the defining pop albums of the decade.
