Susan Boyle's 'I Dreamed A Dream' is officially the biggest selling album of the year in the UK after just four weeks of release.

The Britain's Got Talent star's album has notched up sales of 1.4million in Britain alone since it was released on November 23, according to the Official Charts Company.

Lady Gaga's 'The Fame' is in second place, although this has been on the chart for 49 weeks.

Martin Talbot, managing director, Official Charts Company, said: "In just four weeks, Susan Boyle has become the biggest album artist in the UK by some margin - an extraordinary achievement for an artist who was totally unknown until last April.

“She has clearly connected with a massive proportion of the British population and is now looking solidly in place to take the title of the biggest album of the year."

  • They stopped the video at the worst possible moment to nab that picture. Common move for tabloids.

  • It's just Subo having a bit of fun. If they meant it to be uncomplimentary (and they probably did), it doesn't work. Everyone who is a Susan Boyle fan (and that is a LOT of people) know when she is playing. Congratulations to one of the most talented singers to come along in lo these many years!
