After she became a worldwide phenomenon, Susan Boyle is getting ready to do it again as she begins working on her highly anticipated sophomore album.

Don’t expect her second album to be filled with cover songs like her debut I Dreamed A Dream. Susan’s second album will include jazz influences as well as sounds from her favorite era, the sixties.

“My next album has to have an element of surprise in it again. I’m hoping to make it better and a bit extra special.”

“I love recording. The recording studio is your own space, it’s your bubble, it’s you and the music and the producer and engineer. That’s when the real craft comes in and that’s how people get to hear what you are really like. It is like my sanctuary.”

And don’t be surprised if theres a collaboration with Lady Gaga.

“I think Lady Gaga is a wonderful artist and completely original and I like her costumes. Love it! Yes, I’d love to do a duet with her, complete with a telephone hat too!”

Susan Boyle’s new album will be released November 19th and is already available for pre-orders on Amazon.com.

Susan Boyle To Get $6 Million Dollars On Her Birthday!!

According to reports from the U.K., “Britain’s Got Talent” singing sensation Susan Boyle will be getting a $6 million dollar check for her 49th birthday next month.

Boyle’s debut album I Dreamed A Dream was the biggest selling CD of 2009 in the United Kingdom and has sold more than 8.5 million copies world wide.

Her birthday is April 1st, and after she receives her check she will no longer have to live off of her allowance she gets from Simon Cowell. A source tells Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper, “People have thought of Susan as a millionaire for months already because her album was launched in November, but she hasn’t got it yet. Up until now, her management team have made sure she never wanted for anything, but this is her long-awaited payday.”

I bet she’s going to be a very happy girl on her birthday! You would hope!

Idol’s Adam Lambert Disses Susan Boyle

Adam Lambert is on the attack in his latest interview with Britain’s Gay Times.

Lambert’s debut album For Your Entertainment sold 200,000 copies in it’s first week and was kept out of the top spot by Boyle’s massively successful debut album I Dreamed A Dream

“If only it weren’t for Susan Boyle! I’m happy for her success, but that album is terrible. “Wild Horses” is the one that made me laugh the hardest. I just died when I heard it, I was crying with laughter. It was the most horrendous, sacrilegious treatment of that song!”

Wow. Boyle’s album might night have been your cup of tea, but c’mon Adam, she blew everyone’s albums away, not just yours. Just accept it. The old cat lady beat you.

Ke$ha Tops The Billboard Charts More Than Once

Ke$ha has a lot to celebrate. Not only did her album Animal knock Susan Boyle’s I Dreamed A Dream out of the top spot, but she also has the No. 1 single on the Hot 100 chart with ‘Tik Tok’. Ke$ha is the first artist to top both charts since Leona Lewis in 2008.

But it doesn’t stop there!

Ke$ha’s second single ‘Blah Blah Blah’ skyrocketed to the No. 7 spot on the Hot 100 chart and debuted at the No. 2 spot on the Digital Songs Chart. ‘Tik Tok’ is No. 1 on the Digital Songs Chart. Ke$ha is the first artist to hold down both spots since the Black Eyed Peas did it with ‘Boom Boom Pow’ and ‘I Gotta Feeling’.

Congratulations.

Ke$ha Likely To Top Susan Boyle

The official Billboard chart won’t be released until tomorrow Jan 13th, but it looks like newcomer Ke$ha will takeover the top spot that has been held by Susan Boyle. Initially, Ke$ha was expected to sell 100,000 units in the final week leading up to the charts which would have put her neck and neck with Boyle, but Ke$ha has surpassed that expectation by selling 150,000 and will likely claim the top spot tomorrow.

And how does Ke$ha feel about beating Boyle?

“…I feel kinda mean. But no, she got to kick it at the top for a while, so I don’t feel too bad.

OK, if I’m number 1, I’ll be in New York… so let me think about this. I’m going to round up my band of trannies and we’re going to march down Broadway with fireworks.”

Susan Boyle’s Album Goes Triple Platinum

Susan Boyle was surprised with an early Christmas gift on U.K. TV as she received a platinum record for her history-making album sales.

The Scottish spinster skyrocketed to fame after appearing on Britain’s Got Talent earlier this year and fans around the world have since proved their love for the 48 year old by snapping up thousands of copies of her debut album, I Dreamed a Dream. The record-breaking disc has sold more than five million worldwide since its release in November, topping the charts in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, the U.S. and the U.K.

Her life-changing year was capped off in style as she was handed a triple platinum record during her own TV special, I Dreamed A Dream: The Susan Boyle Story, prompting her to break down in tears as she clutched the prestigious prize.

Journalist Piers Morgan, a judge on Britain’s Got Talent, told Boyle, “To celebrate you, we’d like to give you a little treat, a little surprise. In recognition of your astonishing achievement in selling over one million records, here is the triple platinum record. Very few artists in history have done this. Susan Boyle, you dreamed a dream – this is your dream come true!”

The special aired in Britain on Sunday.

Boyle And Bocelli Battle For No. 1

On next week’s Billboard 200 albums chart, the sweet sounds of Susan Boyle’s album I Dreamed a Dream may be replaced by the holiday tunes of Andrea Bocelli as the latter’s My Christmas set could rise to the top.

Boyle is going toe-to-toe with Bocelli for the top slot and each artist’s album could shift somewhere between 375,000 and 400,000 copies by week’s end on Dec. 6. If Bocelli reaches No. 1, it will be the Italian’s tenor’s first chart-topping set. “My Christmas” has been lodged in the No. 2 slot for the past three weeks after debuting at No. 3 a month ago.

Boyle’s I Dreamed a Dream rocked the Billboard 200 this past week when it bowed atop the tally with the year’s best sales frame for an album this year, shifting 701,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Is Susan Boyle Headed For Another Breakdown?

With all of the success Susan Boyle has experienced with the release of her debut album I Dreamed A Dream, friends are worried that Boyle is headed for another breakdown.

Susan Boyle’s neighbors fear the worst as she has been acting strangely towards them, perhaps signaling that not all is well with the Scottish singing sensation.

They say that she has been speaking in a strange American accent, complaining that her cat doesn’t love her anymore and blasting tracks from her debut album I Dreamed A Dream nearly 24/7!

Teresa Miller explains:

“It was so loud on Thursday I couldn’t hear Jeremy Kyle on TV! It started about a week before it was released so by the time it was on sale, we already knew every track by heart. I think her favourite song is “Wild Horses” as that’s the one she plays the most.

“We’ve also seen two ambulances and a doctor come to her house. Susan had told me she had been feeling pains in her stomach.”

Another neighbor, Helen Barkhouse, who used to take care of Boyle’s mother before she passed shared a sweet story about our favorite Scot:

“Susan was here wearing a black beret and a necklace and I told her how pretty she looked. She took them off and gave them to me. After her mother’s death Susan got really low. She once came up to me in the supermarket and said, ‘I really need a hug, can you give me a hug?’

“She might be a star, but whenever Susan comes home we’ll make sure she’s properly taken care of.”

We wish her all the best.
