Adele Sweeps Top Grammys

Adele won six Grammy awards, sweeping the major categories of song, record and album of the year, on a night the music industry mourned the loss of singer Whitney Houston.

Adele's "21" was named album of the year, and "Rolling in the Deep" won song and record of the year at the 54th Grammy Awards, telecast by CBS Corp. last night from Los Angeles. Foo Fighters won five awards including best rock album, and Kanye West took home four including best rap album for "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy."

Adele, the British singer-songwriter whose last name is Adkins, tied Beyonce's record for most Grammy wins in one night by a female artist, according to the Recording Academy website. She also won best pop vocal album for "21," and was honored with best pop solo performance for "Someone Like You." The artist records for XL Recordings, which is distributed by Sony Corp.'s Columbia Records.
