Susan Boyle's debut album, I Dreamed a Dream, has blown apart recording industry sales records at a Michael Phelps pace.
Susan Boyle: A Dream Comes True
I Dreamed A Dream's hit parade, so far: the only 2009 release to hold the top spot for six weeks in a row; the largest CD pre-order in the history of the Amazon.com; the most album pre-sales for QVC and Barnes & Noble Online and debut for a female artist on the Billboard 200 in the Soundscan. Boyle also holds the distinction of being the first artist in the Billboard 200's 53-year history to enter the list at the top spot with a debut album and spend six consecutive weeks at the summit.
Boyle went from the anonymity of a small Scottish village to having one of the most recognizable faces and voices in the world, after her breakout debut on Britain’s Got Talent racked up more than 300 million YouTube views, the most for any video last year.

Susan Boyle, the Britain's Got Talent sensation whose rendition of I Dreamed A Dream gained her worldwide fame, was giddy after seeing a taped message aired on Thursday’s Today Show from one of her childhood idols: Donnie Osmond.
The grown-up teen idol, still boyishly handsome at 51, praised the Scottish spinster and wished her good luck amidst the backdrop of his Las Vegas show. He then even predicted they would do a duet together, possibly of his hit, Puppy Love. He even joked that Boyle could replace his sister, Marie, in their Vegas act.

Susan Boyle, who looked as if she was on the edge of madness as the pressure stemming from Britain's Got Talent competition built, is improving by leaps and bound.
"I want to take on the world," the 48-year-old Scottish spinster told News Of The World. "I've got my sleeves up ready."
Released from the London mental health clinic last week after a string of bizarre public meltdowns and crushing loss to an obscure dance troupe, Boyle is expected to record her debut album in London this week.
