The debut album of former “Britain’s Got Talent” contestant Susan Boyle opens at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart this week. Titled “I Dreamed A Dream,” it has the best sales week for an album in the U.S. in 2009 by moving 701,000 units, displacing Eminem’s “Relapse” which sold 608,000 in its opening week. Boyle’s album also holds the best first week sales record for a female debut artist beating out Ashanti’s first week sales record of 503,000 which the R&B singer posted for her self-titled debut back in 2002.
