Susan Boyle Album Sets Record On Amazon.com
Susan Boyle is still wowing music lovers all over the world. I Dreamed A Dream, the upcoming debut album from the talent show sensation, has achieved the largest global CD pre-orders in the history of Amazon.com.
On Thursday, the online entertainment store announced that the eagerly-awaited album, which is scheduled for release on Nov. 23, has exceeded the record previously set by Japanese rock group Mr Children’s Supermarket Fantasy in 2008.
“Just eight months ago, no-one was aware of the talents of Susan Boyle. Now, she has generated more Amazon pre-order CD sales globally than any other artist,” Julian Monaghan, Head of Music at Amazon, said in statement praising the shy native Scott. “That is an incredible achievement and is testament to the fact that she has captured the hearts of people all over Britain, America and the rest of the world.”
Columbia Records Chairman Steve Barnett added: “One of the things that is so unique about Susan Boyle is her ability to touch people around the world. We’re excited that I Dreamed A Dream holds the new record for global pre-orders and that Amazon’s customers have supported her album in this way.”
Susan Boyle rose to prominence as a contestant on the British talent competition Britain’s Got Talent last spring. Susan lost her shot at the championship during the show’s finale. Instead, settling comfortably into second place behind popular dance troupe Diversity.
