Susan Boyle

Mmm… I bet Simon Cowell (and his bank manager) will be happy with the news that Susan Boyle's new debut album “I Dreamed A Dream” has achieved the largest global CD pre-orders in the history of Amazon.
The album, which is released on 23rd November, has exceeded the previous record 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 said.
“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.”
