SUSAN Boyle's debut album is set to top the charts next week.
Singing sensation Susan Boyle, who is releasing her first record entitled I Dream A Dream, was yesterday celebrating after it became the largest global CD pre-order in the history of internet website Amazon.
Tens of thousands of copies have been sold – even though it is not being released until November 23.
The cover features the 48-year-old Scottish star smiling in a sparkly sequin jacket.
Susan became an overnight reality TV and internet star after her appearance on ITV show Britain's Got Talent on April 11. She was initially dubbed the Hairy Angel because of her unkempt looks, but has since had a full makeover.
“Eight months ago, no one was aware of the talents of Susan Boyle,” said Julian Monaghan, head of music buying at Amazon.co.uk. “Now, she has generated more Amazon pre-order CD sales globally than any other artist. That is an incredible achievement and is testament to the fact that she has captured the hearts of people all over the world.”
Susan, from West Lothian, stunned audiences with her rendition of I Dreamed A Dream, from Les Miserables.
She came second in the show, behind dance troupe Diversity, but won fans worldwide including actress Demi Moore, 47, and singer Elaine Paige, 61.
At first Susan struggled with fame and checked into The Priory for exhaustion. But she has made a recovery and recently told fans: “What I’ve enjoyed the most about my new career is the ability to travel and meet new people.”
Steve Barnett, chairman of Susan’s Columbia Records label, said: “One of the things that is so unique about Susan is her ability to touch people around the world.”
