American Idol Season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert won’t release his debut album until Nov. 24, nonetheless, the LP managed to land to the No. 2 spot on the Amazon.com sales list Monday, ahead of The Beatles, Susan Boyle, and Madonna’s Greatest Hits, The New York Post reports.

Lambert’s pre-order sales figures are even more impressive because his label, RCA, made no announcement that the disc — featuring production by RedOne and Ryan Tedder — could be pre-ordered. Thankfully, Lambert dropped several hints on Twitter last week.
