Adele

While Adele was singing one of her favorite songs, she experienced a bit of a brain-fart for lack of a better word. "S--t, wrong words," she was overheard saying to the crowd before bursting into laughter. "S--t, s--t, s--t. Should I sing the right words? Sorry."

As you likely could have guessed, fans had no hard feelings with the human mistake. In fact, you could hear hundreds of audience members laughing and cheering as Adele carried on like a pro.

The star was honoured for her multi-million selling album, 25, which emerged last year after a long struggle with writer's block.

She was unable to accept the award in person, having played in Zurich, Switzerland, on Wednesday night.

But in a video message, she said he was "very grateful."

"I won it on my last album as well... but I was secretly pregnant, so I didn't enjoy the night too well," she added.

"To win it this time is truly, truly humbling."

February 29 is believed to be when woman have the chance to take charge and propose to men.

The British singer welcomed the fan, who had already proposed to her boyfriend earlier in the day, to the Belfast Arena stage.

According to Billboard, 25 sold 1.15 million in pure album sales in the week leading up to Christmas, making this the third week that 25 has sold more than a million copies.

The week ending on Dec. 24 marks 25’s second-best frame yet after the album debuted in late November and sold 3.38 million copies in one week.

When it was first released, 25 shattered records, becoming the first album to sell more than 3 million in a single week and earning the largest sales week for an album since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991.

Soul singing legend Richie joked with attendees at a charity ball about the lyrical crossover and said he had a word he wanted to reclaim.

"Girlfriend came along and said 'hello, it's me'," he said.

Richie was performing at the second annual ball for the Clara Lionel Foundation, a charity established by singer Rihanna.

According to Billboard, Nielson Music announced the staggering - and record-breaking - amount on Saturday, one week and one day after the album's release. 

The superstar's third studio album is responsible for the most sales in one week of a particular record since the Nielson agency started keeping track of point-of-sale album purchases in 1991. 

Earlier in the week, Adele thundered by the previous record holder, boy band NSYNC.

The singer's XL Recording label is not making 25 available on streaming platforms when it is released on Friday.

It is unclear if the album will appear on Spotify or Apple Music in the future.

The move means listeners will have to download the album, or buy it in the shops, driving up sales.

The album is predicted to sell more than one million copies in its first week.

The first single from the record, Hello, broke download and viewing records when it was released last month.

According to a new study, the track has inspired 64 per cent of women to contact their exes in an attempt to make amends and get back together.

The song's haunting music video, which broke Taylor Swift's previous Vevo viewing record by receiving 27.7 million views in 24 hours, sees the 27-year-old singer staring sadly out a window and checking her flip phone, while having flashbacks of her smiling ex during their relationship.

The single is a straightforward ballad that sends Adele's voice flying. Following up on her 2011 album 21, an extraordinary tribute to a dead relationship with a still-beating heart, "Hello" examines doomed love. This time, though, Adele is writing from well beyond the relationship instead of from amid the wreckage. Even as she laments the end, "Hello" knows it's just checking in, then moving on.
