Susan Boyle remains Billboard Number One

1259233288article-1231042-07559877000005DC-347_468x554-200x236Talent show star Susan Boyle has held on to the top of the US album chart for a second week after selling a further 527,000 copies of her debut album.

The Scottish singer is likely to retain her chart position for a further week, according to trade magazine Billboard.

It sets Boyle – who also holds the UK number one – on course to secure the best-selling US album of the year.

Boyle must beat current front-runner Taylor Swift, whose album Fearless has sold 2.5 million copies to date.

Christmas number one

There are four weeks left to run in the 2009 album chart, and analysts predict Boyle will be able to outsell country star Swift.

In her first week of release in the US, the singer shifted more than 700,000 copies of I Dreamed A Dream.

Next week it is likely to sell a further 600,000 copies and claim a third week at number one.

Albums released late in the year have previously overtaken established big sellers in the US, including Josh Groban’s 2007 release Noel, which sold 3.7 million copies and pipped the High School Musical 3 soundtrack to become the year’s best-selling album.

Meanwhile in the UK, Boyle’s record remains the bookmakers’ favourite to claim the Christmas number one slot.

    Do you have any idea how ridiculous it makes you look for you to post a picture that gives a deliberately false and distorted picture of Miss Boyle? I find it hard to believe that you (and your readers) do not know the true story of the posted picture. Which means you are trying to create some kind of negative perception of Susan. Can you tell me why?
