Susan was amazing on The X Factor last night.

Such a lovely woman with a heart of gold and a fantastic voice.

I was a bit disappointed with the I Dreamed A Dream track on the album from one of the samples I heard. It's like she's singing it in slow mode. It's not the same speed at which she sang it on Britain's Got Talent. I don't know. It just seems a bit weird sounding to me. There are some others that she sings great though.

It's not available physically or to download as a single as such. However it'll be high in the charts on Sunday as people are downloading individual tracks from her album. Currently Wild Horses is No.6 on I-Tunes!

So why do they have it in the MP3 list of samples then?

Yes but it's still part of the album. That's what people on other chart and music forums say anyway. Sometimes you've to download the whole album and can't cherry-pick tracks but seems you can with Susan's album. Could well be No.1 but Jason Derulo will be No.1 on tomorrow's first mids.

Then they're wrong. I tried successfully adding it to my basket and proceeded right up to the point just before I paid.

I know you have but you don't seem to understand what I mean. You've been able to buy it because her record company has decided that people can download individual album tracks. Still hasn't officially been released as a single! If they'd decided that you could only download the whole album then you wouldn't have been able to download Wild Horses today unless you paid to download the entire album! Tracks wouldn't be able to chart in the singles chart! Individual tracks that have been cherry-picked from albums, as you've done, can be counted as sales for the singles chart.

Last November when Leona's Deluxe Edition of her Spirit album was released they didn't allow Run to be downloaded as an individual track, in order to get people to buy the entire album again. You could only obtain it if you downloaded or bought the whole album! Then 2 weeks later Run was made available to download on it's own so charted at No.1.

Well, they must have allowed this because it's normally the case that singles come out before the album comes out. No singles of Susan's has come out. They must have just decided that they'd release the album and singles at the same time.

Well they've released the album and allowed individual tracks to be downloaded from it. That's different to releasing a single!

She's reportedly sold 150,000 albums just today and HMV predict 400,000 in a week, making it the fastest selling album of the year!

That's perhaps what I meant. I must have gotten mistaken by thinking individual tracks were classed as singles.

No they're not. It's a bit odd though I know!

And there's not just them two either. There's also Asda - eBay - Tesco. There's bound to be others as well. She could very well have sold about 700,000 albums so far. I can easily see Susan becoming a multi millionaire by the time her album EVENTUALLY starts falling down the charts. Considering the number of hits her youtube video got, she could easily be selling in the mega multi millions.

She'll have the year's best-seller. In fact I'll predict that she'll stay atop the album chart right through until January now. This album will be huge.

it might not stay top for a long time, because it looks likely to sell hundreds of thousands this week alone, so it could easily almost sell out in these next few weeks and then fall down the charts, but it would of sold so many that it won't matter. although apart from this week, there aren't really that many huge albums out between now and the new year that are likely to top the charts, so who knows what will happen?

I think Sony will have made sure that they'll have plenty of stock to sell if shops happen to be running low on her album stock. If Susan's album keeps on shifting the way it has been for the past day, this will definitely reach record figures. Judging by the "Boyle mania" she created, I can see this being a record that won't ever get broken again with any other artist. The number of albums I was talking about was just in Britain as well, so this could have hit well over 1m if we're talking about America ect. I really hope Susan does well out of this as she deserves it........from what I've seen of her on television anyway.

i agree, although i didn't mean 'sell out' as in run out of stock, i mean that it could sell so many in it's first few weeks that nearly everyone who wants it will already have it. i suppose it's arguable whether she really deserves it or not, because, to be fair, she has had it very easy since that first BGT performance.
