Rihanna, Lady GaGa, American Idol’s Adam Lambert and Britain’s Got Talent Susan Boyle all dropped their album last week. With this being Susan’s first album, she has already sold 700k copies in her first week!!!! DAMN… Rih Rih, this old lady is killing you right now.
So, is this what happens when you keep your clothes on and you tone down the sexy???
If you don’t know who Susan Boyle, here is a little recap of how it all came about…
Boyle’s “I Dreamed a Dream” album is on top of the Billboard 200 albums chart with 701,000 copies sold in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
“This is a big deal considering some of the superstar acts that came out this year that couldn’t get to that number, said Billboard’s director of charts Silvio Pietroluongo. The year’s previous high-water sales mark came when Eminem’s “Relapse” sold 608,000 in its opening week.
Boyle, a 48-year-old churchgoing celebrity who lives in a modest government-owned home in Scotland with her pet cat, captured the world’s attention and hearts eight months ago when she performed on the British talent competition.
When it comes to album sales, Boyle is even fiercer than Rihanna, whose fourth album, “Rated R,” is in the No. 4 slot on the charts with 181,000 albums sold during the first week.
As you see in this video, the judges pre-judge Susan and her talent but now she just out sold Rihanna, Lady GaGa and Adam Lambert by a landslide. Gotta gives KUDOS!!!
