14 DAY TRIAL // Susan Boyle is poised for huge success, judging by early signs. Although her debut album, the one she’s been working on with music mogul Simon Cowell ever since she was done with Britain’s Got Talent, is not even released yet, it’s already topping all the charts. Fans are dying to hear Boyle’s first musical effort, and they made it possible for her to soar in the charts, People magazine reports.
According to numbers cited by the mag, in just days after the announcement, Boyle’s debut material was already at number one, with countless fans rushing to preorder it on sites like Amazon.com. In doing so, they literally helped the unlikely star, as she’s often dubbed in the media, the “Angel,” become an even bigger sensation than she already was, crushing competition from some of the most long-standing names in the music industry.
“The Scottish star’s debut album, ‘I Dreamed A Dream,’ has sensationally topped the online-retail charts, quite a feat considering her record is not even being released until Nov. 24. Thousands of eager fans have already pre-ordered the record on Amazon.com, just days after the release was announced. That’s resulted in Boyle’s climbing to the top of the charts, beating heavy hitters Whitney Houston and the Beatles to the top spot.” People magazine writes.
A representative for the singer tells the same publication that she was so happy when she heard the news she decided to treat herself to a shopping trip to Harrods. Then, she hit Suzanne Neville on Knightsbridge’s Beauchamp Place, where she met with the designer in view of a dress she’d wear on an upcoming television appearance. Clearly, chances are high not even she expected this kind of amazing reaction from the fans, even if she was fully aware of her unbelievable talent.
As it happens, the love millions around the globe feel for Boyle is also due to the passion she puts in her singing and her being still a very genuine and lovable person. “When you sing a song, you’re telling a story. That’s what I was doing when I sang ‘I Dreamed a Dream.’ But that wasn’t me singing about becoming a singer. It was about the position I was in after my mother died. I did the audition for her because she always wanted me to make something of my life, but I had to wait a bit because her death prevented me from singing for a while. I couldn’t put my heart into it. So I was singing about wanting things to be like they were before she went. You know, it was a double-edged sword because it was about what I wanted to do, but it was also about wanting to turn back to when she was with me. Powerful stuff.” Susan was saying for Harper’s Bazaar a while ago.
