Susan Boyle's Second Album

Fans Are Pre-ordering Over One Month in Advance of Release

Susan Boyle's new album has made its way to the top of Amazon.com's Bestsellers list before it is released. The name of the album is "The Gift," which will be released November 9. Fans are anxious to pre-order the album.

Craig Pape, Amazon's director of music, tells Billboard.com, "It's the season of Susan and it's a pretty significantly number one. The Gift has raced ahead of the efforts by Taylor Swift, Eric Clapton and Neil Young on the bestsellers list, with Bob Dylan's pre-orders of The Witmaark Demos reaching near to Boyle's sales."
Boyle's 2009 debut 'I Dreamed A Dream,' was a record breaker as Amazon Music's largest CD pre-order ever.

Susan's new album will include festive Christmas favorites such as 'O Holy Night' and 'The First Noel,' in addition to performances of Lou Reed's Perfect Day. She was banned from performing Perfect Day recently on a U.S. TV talent show.

Susan Boyle was overwhelmed after an alleged licensing glitch prevented her from performing Lou Reed's 'Perfect Day' on a recent America's Got Talent episode.

Now Susan has had the last laugh, the anthem is set to be the first song on her second album, The Gift.
