Adele is named Bizarre’s most written about star as the Biz List 2016 is revealed
The superstar beat off competition from Little Mix, Harry Styles and Justin Bieber to notch up the most column inches in The Sun's Bizarre
THE last 12 months have seen stars do all sorts, from a boybander cutting off his famous locks to a supermodel diving in to the River Thames. And I featured them all in Bizarre.
I’ve been there day in, day out, covering the most scandalous, shocking, heart-warming and hilarious celebrity tales around.
But who managed to dominate the Bizarre pages with their ups, downs and in-betweens the most in 2016?
I’ve done the sums to see which famous faces took up the most column inches - and I'm thrilled to reveal ADELE has come out on top.
She has taken the crown from ONE DIRECTION after a stunning 12 months, which saw her album, 25, named the best-selling for the second consecutive year.
She kept us entertained with hilarious anecdotes during her world tour – which included my favourite concert of the year at London’s O2 – and she ruled February’s Brit Awards, winning four prizes.
There are even whispers she wed long-term partner SIMON KONECKI. She truly deserves every happiness.
A full run down of the remaining stars in the top ten is below:
2. LITTLE MIX sold out their Get Weird Tour then slated ZAYN MALIK on No1 album, Glory Days, which was my Album of the Year. LEIGH-ANNE PINNOCK and JESY NELSON split from their partners while PERRIE EDWARDS and JADE THIRLWALL found new boyfriends. It has been eventful.
3. RITA ORA feuded with JAY Z’s Roc Nation, signed a promising new deal with Atlantic and found time to film scenes for Fifty Shades Darker, reprising her role as Mia Grey. She also became the new host of America’s Next Top Model.
4. ROBBIE WILLIAMS returned with his eleventh album, The Heavy Entertainment Show, teased a reunion with TAKE THAT “at some point” in the future – if not for next year’s 25th anniversary tour – and won my Entertainer of the Year award.
5. HARRY STYLES cut off his luscious locks for his film debut in World War Two epic Dunkirk, worked on his first solo album and briefly rekindled his romance with KENDALL JENNER. And, despite their hiatus, One Direction are 2016’s highest-paid stars in Europe.
6. JUSTIN BIEBER has been spotted with a bevy of beauties and jetted around the world for his Purpose tour but he annoyed audiences by miming on stage and telling them off for cheering. I hope he’s featured for better reasons next year.

7. Despite RIHANNA’s album Anti flopping, she had success with her catchy single Work and was nominated for eight Grammy Awards. Her on/off relationship with DRAKE – who is now rumoured to be dating J-LO – kept us guessing.
8. LADY GAGA made a stellar comeback with album, Joanne, just months after splitting from her fiancé TAYLOR KINNEY. And all of her wacky outfits kept her on Bizarre’s pages.
9. TAYLOR SWIFT’s failure to release a new album means she has dropped down the Biz List. Thankfully, her romances with CALVIN HARRIS and TOM HIDDLESTON, which I revealed, kept people talking. She’s now single.
10. BEYONCE’s album Lemonade was a huge success, she toured the world, cleaned up at the VMAs and became the most nominated woman in Grammy history.
