‘I Dreamed A Dream’ Breaks Records For Highest One Week Album Sales In Australian History!
11th January 2010
Susan Boyle’s debut album ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ is again the number one album in Australia this week and has broken the record for the highest one week album sales in the history of the ARIA charts. In the past week alone ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ sold in excess of double platinum (140,000 units) breaking the previous record set by Guy Sebastian.
The top selling albums in Australia based on one week sales are now Susan Boyle’s ‘I Dreamed A Dream’, Guy Sebastian’s debut album ‘Just As I Am’, Shannon Noll’s ‘That’s What I’m Talking About’ and Damien Leith’s ‘The Winners Journey’.
‘I Dreamed A Dream’ is now 8-times platinum in Australia and has reached the coveted number one position around the world including in the US, UK, Ireland, Canada and New Zealand. In the US ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ was also the biggest pre-ordered album in Amazon’s history.
Susan Boyle first auditioned for Britain’s Got Talent in April this year and her performance of “I Dreamed A Dream” from Les Miserables has now been viewed over 300 million times on YouTube!
Susan first entered a recording studio in July in Edinburgh, picking songs that resonated with her. The final result of ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ shocked both her and veteran producer Steve Mac with its beauty and musical impact. “It was important that I could feel everything I was singing,” she says. The 12 track collection features Susan Boyle performing signature songs such as “I Dreamed A Dream”, “Cry Me A River,” as well as her haunting rendition of The Rolling Stones’ “Wild Horses,” Madonna’s “You’ll See,” The Monkees’ “Daydream Believer,” and “Who I Was Born To Be,” an original recording written especially for Susan.
