Since the release of I Dreamed A Dream over a month ago, silver-tongued song vixen Susan Boyle has held steady in her perch atop the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart and warded off other high profile new releases from Alicia Keys, Chris Brown, Rihanna, R. Kelly and Adam Lambert.
And this week is no different, as the Scottish singer stays at #1 for a fifth week, forcing Mary J. Blige to debut at #2 with Stronger With Each Tear.
Billboard notes that with sales last week of 510,000, Boyle’s I Dreamed A Dream has now shifted a total of 2.9 million copies in the States—which puts it just behind the top-selling album of 2009, Taylor Swift’s Fearless (3.1 million). There’s still one more Nielsen SoundScan tracking week to factor in before the industry rings in 2010, and Susan is literally only trailing Taylor by 175,000 copies.
Elsewhere, Young Money—minus the once-planned Lil Wayne Rebirth double package—has a #9 debut with collaboration album We Are Young Money, while Eminem’s Relapse reissue bumps his LP up from #113 to #11.
Meanwhile, things aren’t looking so hot for Robin Thicke and Chris Brown—Sex Therapy: The Session falls from #9 to #30, while Brown’s Graffiti is at #31 in its third week.
Chris should just start tweeting again at this point. At least then people who aren’t buying his album can still be entertained by him.

she is ridiculously fat and ugly what are people thinking this is not going to last she'll have a breakdown
They call Susan Boyle 'SuBo'. I wonder if they would be so brave if her first name was Samantha.
Hey Joyce. She is NOT ridiculously fat and NOT ugly. She is just typical middle-age woman look. If you don't believe me, look at your mom, aunts, middle age women in your supermarket and everywhere. Soon you maybe too when you get old. Time go fast and it maybe your turn.
She was, indeed, called 'Sambo' in school because of her black frizzy hair.
Sure Al, we might be old and frumpy in 30 years.
But we also aren't going to attempt to afflict the rest of the population with our appearance by attempting to start a freaking pop music career!
This woman is one of the few capable of sending me into a blind rage rage. It's not healthy.
your website is excellent. thanks for the information
Can I simply say what a reduction to find someone who truly is aware of what theyre speaking about on the internet. You positively know methods to carry an issue to mild and make it important. Extra people have to learn this and understand this aspect of the story. I cant believe youre no more popular because you positively have the gift.
