OMG! Susan Boyle has UK's best-selling debut album ever

Britain's Got Talent runner-up breaks records

Susan Boyle has the fastest-selling album of 2009

Susan Boyle's new record has become the best-selling debut album in the UK ever.

The Britain's Got Talent star has shifted 410,000 copies of I Dreamed A Dream, according to the Official Charts Company.

Susan, 48, also entered the singles chart at No 9 with her Rolling Stones cover Wild Horses.

‘She did it her way and made a dream come true,' mentor Simon Cowell, 50, tells the BBC.

‘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.'

X Factor winner Leona Lewis, 24, held the previous record for best-selling debut album - Spirit topped over 375,000 sales in 2007.
