Adele KILLIN It At Funeral Homes?

Adele’s ‘Someone Like You’ is one of the top songs played at funerals.

The track, which in July 2011 became the first single of the decade to sell a million in the United Kingdom, has entered the Co-operative Funeralcare’s chart of the top music played at funerals.

‘My Way’ by Frank Sinatra topped the poll for the seventh year running with the track requested at 15 per cent of funerals, while Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli’s rendition of ‘Time To Say Goodbye’ and Bette Midler’s ‘Wind Beneath My Wings’ came in at second and third place.
