The Susan Boyle `I Dreamed A Dream` album is officially the biggest selling pre-order ever for amazon.com.
Amazon started talking pre-orders for Boyle’s album three months ago. Even back then and up against the high profile Whitney Houston and The Beatles album Boyle’s ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ was selling more each week.Boyle will end the year as one of the most newsworthy performers of the year after staring 2009 as an unknown.
She captured the world after her April 11 appearance on ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ when she performed the Les Miserables hit ‘I Dreamed A Dream’. She didn’t win the season. Can anyone remember who did?
“One of the things that is so unique about Susan Boyle is her ability to touch people around the world,” said Steve Barnett, Columbia Records Chairman. “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.”
‘I Dreamed A Dream’ was released today in Australia and next week in other territories through Sony Music.
