The ‘frumpy but fly’ Susan Boyle has the #1 CD in the country! She is skrait crappin on hotties with bodies nationwide…… proof that having seconds and even thirds at dinner don’t stop no show!
The Britain’s Got Talent sensation now has the top spot on both sides of the Atlantic with her debut release, “I Dreamed a Dream”.
She sold 701,000 copies in America so far, beating new releases by Adam Lambert and Rihanna and becoming the best-selling debut of 2009.
It was the best US opening for a female artist’s debut album, and the second best overall, since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991, according to Billboard.com.
The 48-year-old Scottish spinster has also claimed topped the charts in Australia and Ireland.
In a good week for stars of TV talent shows, Adam Lambert, the American Idol runner-up, saw his debut album “For Your Entertainment” debut at number three on the Billboard 200 with 198,000 copies sold.
His strong showing followed headline news coverage of his raunchy televised live performance at the American Music Awards 10 days ago.
R&B singer Rihanna’s “Rated R” album came in at number four with 181,000 copies .
Although Boyle ultimately failed to win Britain’s Got Talent, her April audition for the show became an international YouTube phenomenon. It has now been viewed more than 300 million times on the Internet.
Never ever ever ever give up or think you’re too _________ (fill in the blank) to do anything. Susan Boyle who auditioned for “Britian’s Got Talent” is a shining example of this. As you can see in the video the judges were all ready to dismiss her as some talentless wackjob until she opened her mouth. Nearly 50 years old and going hard for her dreams, you go Susan!
