Susan Boyle’s debut album, I Dreamed a Dream, has held onto the number one position on the Billboard 200 for an amazing fifth week in succession, according to MTV, despite a strong challenge from Mary J Blige, whose album Stronger reached number 2 with sales of 330,000 copies. Susan’s album sold a further 510,000 according to figures from Nielsen SoundScan, which pushed her five week US sales total to just under 3 million.
Andrea Bocelli, with whom Susan Boyle has been tipped to duet in 2010, held onto his number 3 position with his album My Christmas.
According to the article, Susan’s album sales “almost equal” those of Taylor Swift’s Fearless, so we’ll just have to wait until Sunday to see if Susan’s album sales overtake those of Taylor.

I am so happy that Susan is holding on. Here is hoping she stays in number one position. She deserves it. Love her CD. Helps me get through traffic, honking, impatient drivers… it is that uplifting and calming. I just wished Wings to Fly will be sold as a single or added to her second album.
This is perhaps the happiest amd carefree picture of Susan to date. Thamks Mandy for your diligence and care in keeping all of us up to date. The first song I heard in 2010 was IDAD, right after the fireworks, just as it should have been. Happy New Year Susan, Mandy, and everyone everywhere who listen with their hearts.
