December 29th, 2009 - 2:50 pm ICT by ANI ( Leave a comment )Melbourne, Dec 29 (ANI): Susan Boyle has taken Aussie music industry by storm after her album ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ went on to enjoy the highest seven-day sales ever seen in the country.
The ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ star sold almost 165,000 albums last week, breaking the record of Guy Sebastian’s 163,000 sales at Christmas 2004.

Her album will be the biggest seller of 2009, as its pre-Christmas sales pushing it ahead of Pink’s ‘Funhouse’.
