Susan Boyle has made chart history by soaring straight to No 1 with her debut album, I Dreamed A Dream.

Her album has sold more than 410,000 copies. Since records began, no other album has sold so many copies within the first week of release.

Her cover of the Rolling Stones classic Wild Horses entered the singles charts in ninth place.

Simon Cowell who masterminded her rise from obscurity, said: “I’m incredibly proud of Susan as well as being delighted for her.

“The success could not have happened to a lovelier person. She did it her way and made a dream come true.

“In Britain’s Got Talent she opened her mouth and the world fell in love with her, which is why her album has been the fastest selling of any woman making her debut. She’s amazing.”

Martin Talbot, of the Official Charts Company, said: “Susan Boyle’s achievement is quite phenomenal.

“After all of the excitement surrounding her appearance on Britain’s Got Talent, everyone expected her to make a big impact when she released her first music – but to arrive with such a bang is exceptional.”

Amazon Announces Largest Ever Pre-Order For Music Album

Amazon has announced their biggest ever pre-order for a music album – Congratulations, Susan Boyle “I Dreamed a Dream” is now the largest music pre-order ever at Amazon.com.

Amateur vocalist Susan Boyle became an overnight sensation after appearing on the first round of 2009’s popular U.K. reality show Britain’s Got Talent.

Boyle, who was born in Blackburn, West Lothian, Scotland in 1961, caught the judges (and the world) off guard with her masterful rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” from the musical Les Misérables, due in part to the unemployed and undeniably plain church volunteer’s “salt of the earth” demeanor and country spinster backstory.

Boyle attempted a singing career in 1999, recording a handful of demos that showcased her rich and expressive voice, but chose to look after her aging mother instead of pursue the dream full-time.

Within hours of her appearance on Britain’s Got Talent, Boyle was not only an Internet sensation, she was a world-wide phenomenon.
