19

19 is the debut studio album by the English singer-songwriter Adele, released on 28 January 2008 by XL Recordings. Following Adele's graduation from the BRIT School in April 2006, she began publishing songs and recorded a three-song demo for a class project and gave it to a friend. They posted the demo on MySpace, where it became successful and led to interest from the record label.

In the United Kingdom, 19 debuted at number one. In the same week as 21 was released, 19 climbed to number four on the UK Albums Chart with sales of 25,419 copies. On 6 February 2011, it remained on the chart at number four, with strengthening sales of 27,660 copies. It was the second best selling album of 2011 in the United Kingdom, behind 21, as it tripled its 2008 seven non-consecutive week-long top 10-visit with 21 straight weeks. As of March 2016, 19 has sold over 2,309,000 copies in the United Kingdom.
