Adele wins three gongs at the Billboard awards

Adele has picked up three gongs at the Billboard magazine awards in the US.

The Skyfall singer was named top artist of 2012 and top female artist…while her hit record 21 took the top album.

She is the first entertainer to win both top artist titles two years in a row.

It crowns another great year for Adele, 24, who won six Grammy awards and dominated the US charts.

One Direction were  named top new artists, and Mumford & Sons topped the rock, alternative and folk album and artist categories.
