Boyle Breaks Pre-Order Record

Debut album for Britain's Got Talent star is selling fast

Share

(Newser) – Susan Boyle's popularity shows no signs of dying down: The Britain's Got Talent runner-up is releasing her first album Nov. 23, and it has already broken Amazon's record for most pre-orders, the New York Daily News reports. "Although it's normal to see early enthusiasm for artists who have come off of television shows, the response from our customers to Susan Boyle's upcoming album has been unprecedented," says an Amazon exec.
