" You didn&amp;#039;t have to read Adele&amp;#039;s TIME cover feature to know that she&amp;#039;s broken records\u2014and lots of them. \u00A0But in case you&amp;#039;ve forgotten, some numbers: she sold 3.38 million copies of\u00A025\u00A0in the first week (Taylor Swift&amp;#039;s\u00A01989\u00A0didn&amp;#039;t even sell half that amount\u00A0in its opening week). The\u00A0&amp;quot;Hello&amp;quot; music video is viewed an average of 1.6 million times per hour on YouTube. Her last LP, 21, was the best-selling album of 2011 and 2012. Get the picture? But Adele&amp;#039;s success isn&amp;#039;t ending soon, especially as she gets ready to\u00A0tour in the coming year. Reflecting on the madness, the 27-year-old music superstar opened up about the\u00A0shocking\u00A0success of\u00A025, how she writes her music\u00A0and the role her son plays in her life.\u00A0Ryan Tedder, songwriting frontman of OneRepublic and 25\u00A0collaborator,\u00A0even offered some insight. Check out\u00A0the best moments below, then catch the full article on TIME. \u00A0 On why Americans might love\u00A025:\u00A0&amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a bit ridiculous. I&amp;#039;m not even from America. Maybe they think I&amp;#039;m related to the Queen. Americans are obsessed with the royal family.&amp;quot; On musicians who become &amp;quot;horrible&amp;quot; celebrities: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t care if you make an amazing album\u2014if I don&amp;#039;t like you, I ain&amp;#039;t getting your record. I don&amp;#039;t want you being played in my house if I think you&amp;#039;re a bastard.&amp;quot; On raising her son: &amp;quot;There was never any embarrassment about showing love in my family.&amp;quot; On writing (and then tossing) songs about motherhood: &amp;quot;I loved it. For me, it was great. Better than 25. But he&amp;#039;s the light of my life\u2014not anyone else&amp;#039;s.&amp;quot;  On writing\u00A0songs about &amp;quot;shallow material&amp;quot;:\u00A0&amp;quot;Can you imagine if I was singing about texting?&amp;quot; She cackles. &amp;quot;You would never get me singing about having a drink in the club.&amp;quot; On how she writes music: &amp;quot;I write a song from beginning to end. I don&amp;#039;t go in sections. It&amp;#039;s a story.&amp;quot; On believing in herself:\u00A0&amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not saying my album is incredible, but there&amp;#039;s conviction in it. And I believe the f*ck out of myself on this album.&amp;quot; On music streaming:\u00A0\u00A0&amp;quot;I know that streaming music is the future, but it&amp;#039;s not the only way to consume music.&amp;quot;\u00A0  On how\u00A0her son Angelo affected\u00A0her life: &amp;quot;He makes me so proud of myself. He makes me like myself so much.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
