Susan Boyle can wake up with a happy face and celebrate as the singer has the most anticipated album in the world. The release date for her album ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ was recently announced and she is putting other huge names to shame by being the number 1 album on Amazon.com. The Britain’s Got Talent star beat out the likes of comeback diva Whitney Houston and the Beatles’ upcoming re-mastered ‘Abbey Road’. Good job Susan! I can’t believe she beat out those two names! That’s just amazing! Her debut album will be released on November 24th. I for one will be lining up to buy her album.

Michael Jackson’s albums have soared to the top of Amazon’s best-selling list just hours after his death.

Online retailer Amazon.com has revealed that their No.1 best-selling album was the 25th anniversary reissue of his Thriller album.

Three other versions of Thriller came in at 12, 13, and 14. Jackson’s 2001 alum Invincible, his last studio album, came in at 10 and other albums in the list were compilations of his hits and his tracks with the Jackson 5.

In a statement Sony Corp Chairman, CEO and President Sir Howard Stringer said: “His artistry and magnetism changed the music landscape forever. We have been profoundly affected by his originality, creativity and amazing body of work.”

It is thought that Jackson, 50, died of a heart attack but the cause of death has not been confirmed.
