Susan Boyle’s debut album has become the fastest selling in Britain this year. It also scored the biggest first week sales for a debut in UK chart history.
The I Dreamed a Dream album entered the British charts on Sunday in the top slot, selling more than 410,000 copies. Earlier in the month, the record became the largest global CD pre-order in the 14-year history of Amazon. The website staff could be heard yelling YIPPEE and rounding up their over-priced/ badly-packaged crap, while looking forward to an early retirement.
The 48-year-old singer’s Britain’s Got Talent audition has been viewed over 300 million times, since it was broadcast in April this year.
