In Celebration of the Human Voice - The Essential Musical Instrument

Rumour Has It

Music by Adele

Originally Performed by Adele

"Rumour Has It" was written by Adele and Ryan Tedder while the production was handled by Tedder. Adele has said the song was not inspired by the media but it was aimed at her friends who believed things they heard about her. It was the fourth single from 21 in the United States.

The song received critical acclaim from critics, who praised Adele's voice and the song's "catchiness". Even without having been released as a single, the song charted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 16 and topped the Triple A chart. In the Netherlands, the record was released as the fourth single from 21 after "Rolling in the Deep", "Set Fire to the Rain" and "Someone Like You". The track received a Double Platinum certification by the RIAA for sales exceeding 2 million units in the US. It has been covered by Jeremih and by Glee cast during the episode "Mash Off" with another Adele song "Someone Like You", and also by Katharine McPhee during the episode "The Cost of Art" from the TV series Smash. Adele added the song to the set list on her second worldwide tour Adele Live.

Release Date: 2011 on the album 21
