    Hmm, I wonder what she writes, you can get co-writer credits for writing a few of the words, usually done for royalty purposes. The team behind her music is the usual suspects;
    Adele's '25': The Songwriters & Producers Behind Blockbuster Album | Billboard

    Well done to her but it's Asda mum music.

    Most surprising was that she is still beaten by Enya on £95 mil. Enya is Irish though, not from the UK.
    And still easy on the eye.

    Nice headline in The Daily Mail - "Orinoco Cashflow...".

    £85M ?!

    FFS... she can't even sing in tune...

    "Musician" is probably trade descriptions too.

    World's gone madder
    I think she probably can sing in tune. It's hardly an accomplishment.

    Completely off my radar. Must be my age or something.
    You probably would you just don't know it's hers. She did a Bond theme and gets used in adverts, TV shows, etc a lot

    Does this mean Sue Pollard has slipped out of the top 10?
