Some records I Dreamed a Dream broke according to the I Dreamed A Dream Songfacts:
1. The Dreamed a Dream album debuted at #1 on the UK album chart. With over 410,000 copies sold, it achieved the largest first-week sales for a debut album in the UK.
2. I Dreamed a Dream was the top-selling album of 2009 in the UK, which was a remarkable feat considering it wasn't released until November 23, 2009
3. In the United States, it was the largest pre-order in Amazon Music's history and in its first week of release it not only claimed the biggest debut of 2009 but also earned Boyle the highest debut ever for a female solo artist on the Billboard 200 since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking data in 1991.
4. In Australia I Dreamed a Dream sold 164,000 copies during Christmas week, the highest single week sales for any album since ARIA began keeping electronically scanned sales data in 1997. Boyle also became the first artist to sell more than 100,000 copies in Australia of an album in two consecutive weeks.
This album is stunning and shows what a wide variety of songs and music Susan can accomplish with mastery of diction and notation. Her version of Wild Horses in my opinion is better than the Stones version.
Her voice makes the hair on the back of my neck rise and this for me shows just how much emotion she portrays. Some of the choices on the cd isn't all to my taste but I certainly cant fault it. Just think we have missed many years of her marvellous voice, thank goodness we can share in her marvellous ability today.
Fantastic CD to add to your collection. I cant stop playing it brill.
