Susan Boyle's Debut Album Sells in Record Numbers

Susan Boyle may have taken second place in 'Britain's Got Talent,' but her talent is undeniable. And now, the unlikely superstar's proven that she has the undeniable ability to move product. Boyle's album, "I Dreamed a Dream," was released Nov. 23, and sold 701,000 for the number 1 spot on the charts and the best-selling debut of the year. Conversations regarding Boyle are often juxtaposed with American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert, who similarly came in second, but seems to have captured America's imagination along with his innumerable newspaper headlines. Lambert's first album, "For Your Entertainment," also came out recently, but to a significantly less -- but still impressive -- 198,000 copies in the first week.
