Boyle's debut is the best-selling album in the world
SUSAN BOYLE's debut album has been named the world's best-selling record of 2009.
I Dreamed A Dream, which hit stores in November (09), landed the title of Britain's top-selling release last year (09), while the Scottish singer came second to Taylor Swift's Fearless in America's 2009 run-down.
But new figures released by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) show Boyle scored the most popular album across the world - selling more copies of her music debut in the last five weeks of 2009 than any other artist managed across the 12 months.
Boyle claimed the title with a massive 8.3 million in sales.
