British music


Adele
Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, better known simply as Adele, is an English singer-songwriter, musician and multi-instrumentalist. With her two albums and the first two singles from 21, "Rolling in the Deep" and "Someone Like You", she became the first living artist to achieve the feat of having two top-five hits in both the UK Official Singles Chart and the Official Albums Chart simultaneously since the Beatles in 1964.

Beattles
There is no doubt that The Beatles have made a lasting impression on 20th century musical history. Their creative, experimental approach to music was more successful than other groups. Like most bands, they started out with a bit of uncertainty and with a mixture of different band members and band names such as 'The Quarrymen' and 'The Silver Beatles'. 'The Beatles' is the name that stuck though, and they later became known among fans as "The Fab Four".
The final and well-known Beatles consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. Their music sends messages of love, peace, imagination, creativity and often evokes a feeling of liberation.

One direction
One Direction are an English-Irish pop boy band based in London, consisting of members Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson. They signed with Simon Cowell's record label Syco Records after being formed and finishing third in the seventh series of British television singing competition The X Factor in 2010. Propelled to international success by the power of social media, their two albums Up All Night (2011) and Take Me Home (2012), broke several records, topped the charts of most major markets, and generated hit singles, including "What Makes You Beautiful" and "Live While We're Young".

The wanted
The Wanted are an English-Irish boy band, formed in 2009 who made their debut release in July 2010. The group consists of members Max George, Nathan Sykes, Tom Parker, Jay McGuiness and Siva Kaneswaran.
Their debut album, The Wanted, was released on 25 October 2010 and peaked at #4 in the UK. The album had three UK top twenty singles released from it, 
In early 2012, the group began to see success in the US and Canada, with hit single "Glad You Came" selling three million copies there.
