Susan Boyle Steals Rihanna's 'Rated R' Thunder *update*



Final Nielsen/Soundscan taley...
Susan Boyle 701K
Rihanna 181K
Lady Gaga 174K

According to the Hits Daily Double, Susan Boyle's debut 'I Dreamed a Dream' is projected to sell 670K first week of release. Also breaking the record for the most sold in first week 2009 sales, Eminem's May release of 'Relapse' which came in at 608K. Rihanna will still pull in a respective number of 180K with plenty of promotion going on prior and during the first week of release, but not enough steam to beat out Boyle's hefty sales.

With Chris Brown's 'Graffiti' coming December 8, this will get interesting as to who will pull in the bigger numbers first week Chris or Rihanna.

On Susan Boyle, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and the other November 23 releases, the Nielsen/Soundscan (the industry standard) numbers will be published tomorrow Wednesday, December 2, as Susan will win the chart race by a landslide.
