Adele to ink £90million Deal for Sony music deal

British singer Adele is reportedly close to inking a £90million ($130 million) contract with Sony Music which would see her bag the biggest record deal ever given to a British musician, The Sun reports.

The contract set to be the largest ever for a female singer will surpass Whitney Houston’s $100 million signing with Arista Records in 2001.

Although Sony has denied any such deal in place, the British newspaper who spoke to a Sony insider disclosed it has already secured the singer for its Columbia Records label.

The deal is purportedly set to be announced in few weeks.

The 28-year-old singer is already worth £85million, according to this year’s Sunday Times Rich List.

This is as a result of her 2015 album- 25 which sold 17.4 million units in 2015, making her the world’s No. 1 seller.

Adele’s contract with XL Recordings, an independent English label recently expired and this allowed Sony to swoop in with an offer due to their association with the singer through Columbia- who she signed a distribution deal with in 2009 for distribution in the US after the 2008 release of her debut album, 19,

The singer on Sunday night claimed 5 awards at the Billboard Music awards and also premiered her music video for Send my love (To Your Lover) off her 3rd album, 25. You can check her Tour Dates Here.
