Susan Boyle Breaks Music Records

Susan Boyle, who was first seen singing in a frumpy dress, has now broken album records in the UK.

The "Britain's Got Talent" runner-up recently released her debut album "I Dreamed a Dream" with great success. By selling $410,000 copies, it became the best-selling premiere album in UK chart history, reports the BBC.

Simon Cowell, who is a judge on the British reality show, was pleased with the 48-year-old's success.

"She did it her way and made a dream come true," Cowell said. "In ‘Britain's Got Talent' she opened her mouth and the world fell in love with her, which is why her album has been the fastest selling of any woman making her debut."

Boyle's achievements extend beyond the UK. Her spokeswoman said that her client was outselling big names like Rihanna and Lady Gaga in the United States.
