The editor of Billboard Magazine, Bill Werde, hath spoken, via Twitter:
@bwerde: hearing that susan boyle will go scorched earth on rihanna and adam lambert in album sales this week. so much for a showdown.
I’m not really surprised…

Update from Hits Daily Double:
DREAM COMES TRUE: Susan Boyle’s Columbia album, I Dreamed a Dream, which hit the streets today, is already selling two to three times the estimated pre-release total for retailers, on top of breaking the all-time pre-order record at Amazon.com. Based on current tallies, the disc will easily top 500k and could go even higher. (11/23p)
