Dan Wilson is a singer, multi-instrumentalist, and Grammy-winning songwriter. Over more than two decades, he has built a reputation as a writer of songs of uncompromising beauty and timeless artistry: a "songwriter's songwriter" whose music has nonetheless many times graced the top of the popular charts.
After this performance last week on the Brit Awards, “Someone Like You” shot to the #1 (live version) and #4 (album version) spots on the iTunes chart in UK. Adele’s label quickly made the song available as a single, and this week the song is #1. My first number one song in the United Kingdom.

Congrats, Dan. Amazing song. One friend of mine commented that Adele’s video should come with a warning that says, “This video will make you cry at the office.”

Watching the Unplugged version of Someone Like You on Palladia right this second. DVR is a great invention to say the least and glad I taped Adele a couple of days ago. While I don’t necessarily like everything they show on the station, there are quite a few I love!
