Adele: 'Grammy wins made people interested in me'

Adele has claimed that winning Grammy Awards made people interested in her music.

The 'Set Fire to the Rain' star won the 'Best New Artist' accolade and 'Best Female Pop Vocal Performance' for her single 'Chasing Pavements' at the 2009 ceremony.

"A lot more people were interested and aware of me after that," Adele told The Sun. "The Grammy travels worldwide. Every country has their own award but Grammys are special and everyone was very interested.

"It was weird because it was at the end of my campaign to promote 19 so I didn't really notice. But now I notice because everywhere I go it's my introduction."

The 23-year-old quipped: "I feel like I'm in a secret members' club and I think I am going to get thrown out."

Adele's second album 21 was recently certified triple platinum after selling approximately 3 million copies in the US.
