Susan Boyle more popular than Michael Jackson for Sony

Susan Boyle means as much to Sony Records as Michael Jackson, the latest figures from the company reveal.

Sony attributes their sharp increase in operating income for the year ending March 31st to global releases by Boyle and Jackson.

Operating income increased for the label by 31 percent to $393 million from $300 million.

With Susan's album clocking in well over the 3 million mark, “I Dreamed a Dream” was a huge part of those sales.

Incredible, when you think about it, that an unknown Scottish stay-at-home woman could in one year be right up their with the king of pop and one of the greatest legends in history.
 
When you consider that most of the Michael Jackson sales were for his lifelong work and his catalogue, and Susan Boyle's were based purely on her debut album, you get some sense of the incredible impact she has had.

With the Michael Jackson era fading, Sony will be depending again on Susan and  her second album to boost sales for the company.

Well done, Susan. You are the best.
It appears that there is some culture among us peasants. I was beginning to think we were a hopeless populace listening to hip-hop and loud grinding music that uplifts no one.
Well, I'm not surprised at all!! Susan is pure talent, no gimmicks, no multiple track recordings to cover lack of range, just a fabulous voice and quality product. We haven't haven't had a real "singer's singer" around for a long time. I really don't think you can compare the two, though. Two different eras and audiences. Susan is current and has an audience that respects and responds to talent and quality today, and doesn't buy gimmicks, and she has probably saved the music industry this year by having an audience that actually buys her cds and wants to own her cds! And knowing the next cd will be a quality product, has probably already pre-ordered it! Susan is grounded in who she is, her focus, and there is no expiration on this lady's talent! Sony should feel so blessed to have her as a recording atist and should pay her accordingly.
Hi everyone, I just don't think anyone gets it! Susan has only just started, just wait until she has finished. She will gobsmack the world. She is the most beautiful voiced, charismatic person of this decade. As she sings in one of her songs 'You'll see' Love
Susan Boyle is the best and she deserves to be recognized for her exceptional talent.. She is a true lady, I will pre order her next album.
Susan deserves and has earned her popularity and success. She is the best singer I have ever heard and a lovely Lady as well. Her next album will outsell even her first.
Trennie The Boyle as to pass Madonna's sales, but that wont happen either. 350million and still going - thats with 19albums, only her 1st album did not pass the 10million all the rest have. The Boyle as just passed that by sales are dropping of the edge now.
@belfast james For some weird reason of your own, you appear to hate Susan. Visit your psychiatrist and then go stuff yourself.
You bet they will. She is the jewel in their crown.
Way to go, Susan. I am certainly standing in line to buy your next CD and your next and your next and... yo9u sing it, I will buy it!
Sony gets 50% of every CD Boyle sells while she gets under 10%. Michael or his estate gets well over 30% of every CD and Sony about 36%. This is does not even count.
