The Britain's Got Talent star became an overnight sensation both in the UK and the US following her success on the TV reality show back in April 2009.
"The Gift is Susan Boyle's highly anticipated follow up to her first album, 2009's I Dreamed a Dream, which broke records as Amazon Music's largest global CD pre-order in history" said Julian Monaghan, head of music buying at Amazon.co.uk Ltd. "She has done phenomenally well going to the top of the chart in the US based on one day of pre-orders alone and she's racing up the charts in the UK as well. We'd expect her to continue to build on this success in the run up to Christmas and anticipate her album being one of the most popular gifts this festive season. She has really captured the hearts of the nation, both here and in the States."
The new album features Christmas favourites as well as covers of the iconic pop songs 'Don't Dream It's Over' and 'Perfect Day.'
