Adéla debut album release and global chart success
Overview
Slovakian singer-songwriter Adéla Jergová, performing as ADÉLA, has released her debut studio album, ‘Prima’, under Capitol Records. The 11-track project features production from Dylan Brady and Blake Slatkin, with songwriting contributions from Julia Michaels. Following her elimination from the ‘Dream Academy’ competition series—documented in the Netflix film ‘Pop Star Academy: Katseye’—Jergová has achieved significant international success. By September 2026, her single ‘Ain’t In LA’ entered the Billboard Hot 100 and British charts, while ‘Prima’ reached number 30 on the Billboard 200. Her momentum continued as ‘Nicole Kidman’ reached number one on the Spotify charts in the United States. The single was accompanied by a music video directed by Hannah Lux Davis, which draws cinematic inspiration from the filmography of actress Nicole Kidman. This success coincided with a growing cultural trend termed “motherbombing,” where artists center creative output around established icons to exchange celebrity capital. In October 2026, Jergová achieved a historic milestone as the first Slovak artist to appear on the US Billboard Hot 100, with ‘Nicole Kidman’ reaching number 9. Her debut album also saw increased success, opening at number 4 on the Billboard 200. Her music, which blends electronic pop with alternative rock and theatrical elements, has become a cultural phenomenon through viral American Sign Language (ASL) interpretations. Following her album launch, Jergová embarked on ‘The Red Bottoms Tour’, which included North American, London, and Mexican dates, after previously opening for Demi Lovato. In late October 2026, Jergová made her American television debut on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’, performing ‘Nicole Kidman’ and ‘Ain’t In LA’. During the appearance, she described actress Nicole Kidman as her ‘muse’ and noted that she initially suspected social media trends involving the actress were ‘AI-generated pranks’. The single ‘Nicole Kidman’ subsequently rose to number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.
