Someone please explain why there is a cover of this song that came out in 1997

The group "Almighty" in the UK released a cover version of this song in 2007 on an Album called "We Are Queer as Folk". The artist is listed as "Almighty Girls"... They have since re-released this song as a single to capitalize on the smash success of Adele, but I would like to know, WHY there was a cover in 2007 if Adele didn't supposedly write and perform this song until 2010 and she is credited as the original song writer?????!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.192.149.18 (talk) 21:52, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No..they didnt release a cover version in 2007, ....they released it in 2011. 86.177.185.149 (talk) 07:56, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Key

The article mentions that the song is in the key of A major. According to the reference, A major is the original published key, but I believe Adele sings it in B-flat major.^[1] Listen to the first three notes and the chord played by the piano. 70.94.101.37 (talk) 04:04, 7 May 2012 (UTC)Lucas[reply]

Good article?

This article looks pretty solid at a glance. Anyone have plans to nominate for Good status? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:13, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I haven’t contributed to this article, but upon a glance it does not look like it’s GAN ready. Some sections, particularly live performances, are too bloated.—N Ø 11:51, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Someone like You (Adele song)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Someone like You (Adele song)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "bpi":

From Simone Battle: "Certified Awards Search: GRL" (Enter "GRL" into the search parameter). British Phonographic Industry. Retrieved 14 November 2014.
From Adele discography: "British album certifications – Adele". British Phonographic Industry. Retrieved 17 February 2017. Select albums in the Format field. Type Adele in the "Search BPI Awards" field and then press Enter.
From Glee songs discography: "Certified Awards" (enter "Glee" into the "Keywords" box, then select "Search"). British Phonographic Industry. Retrieved March 23, 2019.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 10:36, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Someone like You (Adele song) → Someone like You (song) – No other song comes at all close to this song in terms of notability, with the next-read article, Someone like You (Van Morrison song), having less than a tenth of the monthly page views (see graph) BappleBusiness^[talk] 00:01, 25 March 2025 (UTC) — Relisting.

I approve of move. Valorrr (talk) 05:42, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support – >10:1 is enough for a PDAB. 🐔 Chicdat ^{Bawk to me!} 10:17, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:PDAB. I will support a move to Someone Like You (Adele song), however. Much like A Girl Like Me (Rihanna album), Never Be Like You, and honestly, most any song or album with "Like" in the title, reliable secondary sources never use the lowercase L. 162 etc. (talk) 16:48, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@162 etc.: WP:PDAB clearly states that PDABs can have primary topics, and goes down to list hundreds of examples, which range down to as little as 3:1. 🐔 Chicdat ^{Bawk to me!} 18:54, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You'll also note that WP:PDAB doesn't say that a topic automatically meets the disambiguation threshold by having a certain pageviews ratio.

There are 5 other articles for songs named "Someone Like You" - we gain nothing by intentionally introducing ambiguity. 162 etc. (talk) 19:26, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is important to remember that the lists in WP:PDAB are merely a collection of information about what exists, not an endorsement. The examples with the lowest ratios there have mostly not been conclusions reached as RM consensus results. They also tend to often involve other considerations, such as the Buffalo Springfield album, where the other topics are compilation re-releases from the same band, or cases where the ambiguity is only with one other topic. In this case, there are six songs that have this title that have standalone articles about them, and more than 20 songs with the title overall that are listed on the dab page. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:31, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per 162 etc. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 13:10, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per 162 etc., * Pppery * and per comment by BarrelProof. The incomplete disambiguation Someone like You (song) should redirect to the Someone like You#Songs dab page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 22:46, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
