19 is Adele's debut album. It was released on 28 January 2008, the week after the lead single, "Chasing Pavements", was physically released. It debuted at number one on the UK charts on its first week.[1] Included is a cover of the Bob Dylan song "Make You Feel My Love" from his 1997 album, Time Out Of Mind.

The Japanese edition was released on March 5. As well as the standard tracklist, the album features three bonus tracks: "That's It I Quit I'm Movin' On" (a Sam Cooke cover and "Chasing Pavements" B-side), "Now and Then" (Cold Shoulder B-side) and "Painting Pictures".[2]

The Indonesia special edition was released on March 3. As well as the standard tracklist, the album features a bonus video for "Chasing Pavements".[3]

The song "Hometown Glory" has been featured in the British and American dramas Skins, Grey's Anatomy and One Tree Hill.

Adele recently said in an interview with GMTV that the album was named "19" after her weight in stones.
