Record sales are insanely low these days. Frankly I'm surprised anyone sells any albums these days.

Susan's sales are impressive. I didn't think she would debut at #1.. She's selling very well.

Impressive by current standards I guess. I would expect sales are about half what they would be before the internet.

Oh  yeah. before the internet sales would be much higher.

Why are people going nuts over Susan Boyle? She's not even that incredible. Yeah, she's better than hacks like Brittney spears but if you want people that can actually sing it's not hard to find people immensely better than her.

Cause she doesn't look the part.

What the fuck do I care what a singer looks like?

Susan doesn't look like a singer.. which is why she is getting so much attention. I hope this album goes on to sell millions and millions lol

She is.. lets say, a special case. Plus she was on TV? Perhaps it's got more to do with that? Either way, people for the most part have poor taste in music so whatever they latch onto really isn't that important.
