Susan Boyle’s album, Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle has made chart history after her debut album shot straight to number one in Britain, music officials said Sunday.
Boyle, who became a worldwide star after appearing on British reality television, has sold more than 410,000 copies of “I Dreamed A Dream” — the biggest first week sales for a debut album in British chart history. “I Dreamed A Dream” outsold the rest of the top five albums combined, including boyband JLS, Black Eyed Peas and Queen, while her cover of the Rolling Stones classic “Wild Horses” entered the singles charts in ninth place.
Boyle revealed a soaring voice behind her frumpy appearance when she appeared on the television show “Britain’s Got Talent” in April. Video of her singing “I Dreamed A Dream” from the musical “Les Miserables” on the show became a YouTube hit, with at least 100 million viewings. Although she came second to dance act Diversity in the competition, she won over fans worldwide. She initially struggled with her sudden rise to fame, and checked into a clinic suffering from exhaustion following the show.
Boyle also brushed aside suggestions last week that she was feeling the strain of worldwide attention after photographs in British tabloids appeared to show her crying and sucking her thumb at a promotional event in New York. Boyle, who has undergone an extensive makeover since becoming a star, has recently revealed that she was bullied at school and teachers failed to understand that she was a slow learner.
