Susan Boyle is on course to top the album chart

Susan Boyle's new album notched up an impressive 130,000 sales yesterday, the Official Charts Company has confirmed.

I Dreamed A Dream is now on course to become the fastest-selling record of the year.

If the momentum keeps up, Britain's Got Talent star Susan, 48, is likely to shift 400,000 copies by the weekend.

‘The Susan Boyle story just keeps getting bigger and more fantastic,' HMV's Gennaro Castaldo tells the Daily Telegraph.

'Our hmv.com online store had one of its largest-ever pre-orders for an album and now we're seeing a huge surge in demand in our stores, though especially in Susan's native Scotland...

'Susan's accomplished performance on the X Factor has given the album a massive, timely boost, and it now has the momentum to challenge the likes of Leona, JLS and The Soldiers for the Christmas No 1.'

JLS' debut album is currently the fastest-selling record of the year, having sold over 230,000 copies in its first week earlier this month.
