Adele has been named songwriter of the year at Britain’s prestigious Ivor Novello songwriting awards.
The chart-topping singer won the prize Thursday for her third album, “25.” She took the same award in 2012 for her album “21.”
Adele sent a video message from Germany, where she is on tour. She said, “I won on my last album as well so to win on this one is a dream. I was secretly pregnant then so I couldn’t enjoy the night as well. But cheers, bottoms up, enjoy.”

Blur’s Damon Albarn won the lifetime achievement award, and Bryan Adams received an international award as “a major influence on the British music industry.”
