Complete Achievement List for Susan Boyle

[CanadianBill]

I've just added a newly discovered accomplishment in the first post of this thread:

When Susan Boyle became the first woman to reach #1 on Billboard 200 with a holiday album, she also became the FIRST PERSON, MALE OR FEMALE ever to DEBUT @ #1 with a Holiday album. Justin Bieber has now done it, this year, but Susan forever remains the FIRST person to do it and so far remains the ONLY female to reach the top with a holiday album (Same in UK).

ADDED: Under UK-

* When 'Someone To Watch Over Me' debuted at #1, Susan became the first female artist ever to have 3 consecutive albums debut at #1 in the UK Album Chart in less than 2 years. No other female solo singer has achieved this in the 65 year history of the chart.

Under Australia/New Zealand -

* When 'Someone To Watch Over Me' debuted at #1 in Australia (and also went Platinum immediately) Susan became the first singer from Scotland ever to have two #1 Albums in Australia.

As items continue to be added, I thought I'd bump this up during this quiet time as a reminder of all Susan Boyle has done in an incredibly short space of time. :>)
