Singer Susan Boyle’s first album, I Dreamed a Dream, debuted at number 1 on the U.S. album charts, also becoming the top first-week seller of 2009. Experts attribute her success to fans confusing her with the title character in Shrek, The Musical.
Until Boyle’s album release, this year’s leader had been Eminem, for his album Relapse. This means that Susan Boyle will now have to be a part of a stunt where Sasha Baron Cohen’s butt lands on her face.
Her popularity here in the U.S. means she is already sitting pretty to record another album. Well, she’s sitting, anyway.
Boyle also broke the record for a female artist album debut, previously held by Ashanti for her self-titled 2002 release. This means Susan Boyle is, by every account, the biggest woman in music today.
