There is no bigger star in the world of singing at the moment than Adele and the girl from Tottenham could be set to add another prize to her already bulging CV, the Rolling in The Deep singer is one of the market leaders in the Mercury Music Prize Betting for 2011 and few would bet against her at this stage. Paddy Power have opened a lively market for the Music prize which is one of the most respected awards in the music business, it rewards the best album in the UK and Ireland and is decided on by a panel of industry experts.

Adele has been breaking all sorts of records with her successful 21 Album and it is available at 9/2 with Paddy Power to win the Mercury Music Prize when it is announced in September. It has to be said that Adele does look the one to beat here, but the panel do have a tendency to shy away from the chart artists meaning there is a bit of value to be had further down the market. One popular artist being backed at this stage is PJ Harvey who has long been a favourite of so-called real music fans, her album Let England Shake has been well received and she is also a 9/2 shot with Paddy Power to pick up the prize for the second time having won back in 2001 with Stories From The City, Stories from the Sea.

James Blake is another artist who is building a nice reputation for himself with his debut album and he could be a bit of dark horse in the Mercury Prize Betting, his self titled album has been something of a success and he will be hoping he can boost his career by picking up this prestigious prize. Blake looks to be building a nice career for himself and punters wanting to back him here with Paddy Power.com can get a nice looking prize currently of 7/1, he could be exactly the sort of artist the panel like as they look to boost a fledgling artist. All eyes will be on Adele though who has been having hit after hit both in the UK and in America and she has to be the one to beat, she has a stunning voice and it would be no surprise to see her pick up further recognition in the form of the Mercury Prize.
