The song might not have become the third single from the album " 21 " , as Columbia Records was planning to release another song: "Rumour Has It". However, this idea was later abandoned, as “Set Fire to the Rain” turned out to be 1/3 more successful as part of a separate track digital distribution according to Soundscan data over the recent period. In total, Set Fire to the Rain sold more than 4 million copies and is already ahead of the previous single, Someone Like You , released from the album 21 on January 24, 2011 and sold 2.7 million. [1] . Adele was awarded the Grammy Award in the category " Best Solo Pop Performance " for the live version of this song [2] .
