Susan Boyle's Album on Pace to Be Fastest Selling U.K. Debut of All Time

Susan Boyle's juggernaut of an album, I Dreamed a Dream, is undoubtedly going to be the biggest selling album on many coasts this week, but she has a chance to break some records in the U.K., namely the one held by Arctic Monkeys for the fastest selling U.K. debut. Boyle sold 130,000 copies of her album on its first day of sales, achieving more than a third of the Arctic's 363,735 week-length sales in one day. If Boyle doesn't beat the Arctic's overall sales mark, she'll definitely be this year's biggest selling U.K. debut. [NME]
