Susan Boyle

Susan Boyle has held onto her number one spot in Oz with her album I Dreamed a Dream, with total sales of more than 400,000 copies. This means that the record has gone 6 times platinum in Australia in just 4 weeks. Sales for last week were 164,973 units according to Undercover Music News. This was more than twice the number of sales that the number one album a year ago, Funhouse by Pink, sold across the same period.

The battle is still on in the US to see if Susan Boyle’s album will be the biggest seller of the year, overtaking Taylor Swift’s Fearless. The result will be announced on January 3rd, 2010.
