Susan Boyle in Battle with Taylor Swift for Bestselling US Album of 2009
December 23rd, 2009 | 
Author: 
Susan Boyle sold around 650,000 copies of her debut album, I Dreamed a Dream, last week in the US, bringing her total US sales so far to in the region of 2.5 million, and maintaining her number one position on the Billboard 200 for an amazing 4th successive week. Taylor Swift’s album has, to date, sold 2.7 million copies in the US. However, in the last week, Susan’s album sold approximately 650,000 copies, whereas Taylor Swift’s album sold 230,000 more copies.
Nevertheless, in the US, there are still two full sales weeks left and the highest selling album will not be known until January 3rd, 2010. With Susan Boyle is currently selling about three times as many copies of her album as Taylor Swift, will her sales surpass Taylor’s next week or the week after? I predict that they will.
In the meantime, I Dreamed A Dream is officially the second biggest selling album of the year in America, overtaking Eminem’s Relapse, according to Undercover.com.au.

LOL well if she does not make it past Taylor next week I am going to go buy another CD even though I have two spares already, ha. And I suspect a lot of American SusaFans will do the same! We will get her over the top if we can.
Gave 5 as Christmas gifts, guess Ill buy a couple more as gifts for the New Year, that is, if I can find them.Anxiously waiting for Susan’s second album!!
