Someone Like You — Adele
“Someone Like You” by Adele is in A major, and the commonly cited lead-vocal range is E3–E5 — 24 semitones — which rates hard for an untrained voice.
Two full octaves from a hushed E3 to the chorus's repeated E5 peaks, sung over nothing but piano. The chorus tessitura hangs high and stays there, and the emotional dynamic asks for those top notes in a cry-adjacent mix rather than a hard belt. The most commonly attempted and most commonly transposed karaoke ballad of its era, for exactly these reasons.
