LOS ANGELES (Updated) -- With six awards, Adele has matched Beyonce for most Grammy wins in a night by a female act.

Adele's six wins Sunday night (US time) include album, record and song of the year. Beyonce set the record two years ago.

Adele was shaking as she won album of the year, almost in tears as she held the award.

Adele's "21," the year's best-selling album, won best pop vocal album as well as the show's biggest award, album of the year. "Rolling in the Deep" won the prestigious record of the year, along with song of the year and short form music video. The British singer also won best pop solo performance for "Someone Like You."

Adele won in every category she was nominated in.

She yelled at the end of her speech: "Thank you so much!" (AP)
