The upsurge in sales is as a result of Susan’s chat and performance on “The Oprah Winfrey Show”, although her segment was only 20 minutes long. Adam Lambert’s segment took up the balance of the hour long broadcast.

Susan Boyle beaten by Taylor Swift in Battle for Bestselling US Album of 2009

It was a close run thing, with internet rumours going this way and that, but in the end it appears that Susan Boyle has lost out to Taylor Swift in the battle to have the bestselling album of 2009 in the US, according to the New York Times.

The final figures from Neilsen/SoundScan for 2009, are that Susan Boyle sold 3,103,000 copies of I Dreamed a Dream, whereas Taylor Swift sold 3,216,000 copies of Fearless. Other albums in the top five bestsellers were at #3 Number Ones by Michael Jackson, selling 2,355,000 copies, at #4 Fame by Lady Gaga selling 2,237,000 copies and at #5 My Christmas by Andrea Bocelli, selling 2,207,000 copies.

However, Susan did sell more physical copies of her album than Taylor, she sold 3 million compared to Taylor’s 2.8 million, with only 100,000 Susan Boyle fans choosing to download the album instead of buying a physical copy.

As Susan is still number one on the Billboard 200, she may well catch up on Taylor’s figures this year. Total sales for Fearless so far are more than 5 million copies.

Susan Boyle likely to be Number One on Billboard 200 for Sixth Successive Week

Susan Boyle is likely to be Number One on the Billboard 200 for a sixth week, according to a report on Billboard.biz. However, current predictions are that the sales of Susan’s album will not overtake those of Taylor Swift, although it’s clearly going to be a nail biting finish.

According to Billboard, the total number of sales of Taylor Swift’s Fearless are 3,157,000, whereas the total number of sales of I Dreamed a Dream stand at 2,982,000.

“Fearless” is projected to sell a further 65,000 to 75,000 copies this week, and current predictions are that I Dreamed a Dream will not sell sufficient copies to close the gap, although the album is projected to sell over 100,000 copies this week.

The figures come from Nielsen SoundScan.

Next week’s album chart will be published on Wednesday, 6th January and includes data for the week ending Sunday, 3rd January.

Susan BoyleSusan 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.
