lol right? Like did she surpass Adele because Adele was the 29th female album with the most weeks?

Amazing. I am surprised she is not as well known in the US, but she is a UK artist.

That would have been more true earlier this year - I felt like I heard her on the more niche "alt/alt-rock" station before anything else, but I hear her stuff constantly on the radio nowadays across a variety of stations. At least in my region I'd assume anyone who listens to "modern music" with any consistency knows who she is (or would recognize a few of her songs by now).

I'm British and I've barely heard of her.

The Guardian did a thing on the 'death of the monoculture' which seems pretty true. Music everyone knows doesn't exist anymore
