2011 The Year In Music: For the first time, a woman earns three of Billboard's biggest year- end charts honors: No. 1 on Top Artists, the No. 1 Billboard 200 Album and the No. 1 Hot 100 song. The woman, of course, is Adele. The album: "21." The song: "Rolling in the Deep." Since Billboard added the top overall artist category to its year-end recaps in 1981, no woman has ever pulled off the triple crown win until this year. Previous to 2011, there were only four years where one artist swept the top three pop categories. In 2004, Usher did it with his album Confessions and single "Yeah!" (featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris). The previous year, 50 Cent managed the feat with the album "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" and single "In Da Club." Only one other man, George Michael, claimed the top trio of accolades, with his "Faith" album and title track in 1988. Ace of Base is the lone group to achieve all three, with its album "The Sign" and title cut in 1994. Aside from Adele, the only time a woman has earned the No. 1 titles on both the year-end Billboard 200 and Hot 100 recaps was in 1993. That year, Whitney Houston reigned with the soundtrack to "The Bodyguard" and the ubiquitous "I Will Always Love You" single...... http://www.billboard.com/ --
