Susan Boyle, the big winner of “Britain’s Got Talent” who’s taken YouTube by storm with the video of her first performance of “I Dreamed a Dream” from “Les Miserables,” is celebrating the success of her first album, “I Dreamed a Dream.” According to Billboard:
This past week, Boyle’s “Dream” held on to the No. 1 slot for a second frame with 527,000 — down just 25% — after bowing last week with 701,000. Now, with 1.23 million sold in its first two weeks, “Dream” is chasing after Taylor Swift’s “Fearless” (2.53 million sold this year) for the title of 2009′s best-selling album.
With four sales weeks left in the SoundScan tracking year, and with industry gurus suggesting “Dream” will have yet another blockbuster week, Boyle could overtake Swift’s sales figure by year’s end.
Congratulations, Susan! If you’ve somehow been under an Internet rock for the past few months and missed it, here’s the video that made her n international star:
