Susan Boyle won't need to apply for a bus pass in the future. The unlikely Scottish singing star has sold an astounding 14million albums in last 14 months.
No wonder she cracked open the champagne with several of her closest music industry bosses this week.
Boyle, 49, from Blackburn, West Lothian, has become the highest selling artist in the world for the Sony music label for the second year running.
This week the singer (and cash cow) was presented with a very special award to mark the 14million sales of her albums I Dreamed A Dream and The Gift.
"Words can't describe how happy I am," she told the press. "Seeing this award made it all so real. I've loved every minute and I can't wait to get back in to the studio again and for all the other exciting projects that 2011 will bring."
Earlier this month, Boyle welcomed family and friends to a house-warming at her swanky new £300,000 home in Blackburn. With 14 million albums under her belt, it a certainty she'll be installing gold taps next.

Sometimes I can't win for losing.

Searlit, that would be 300,000 pounds, not dollars. In greenbacks that would be about $450,000. Still modest by showbiz standards.

That post about the $300,000 house isn't mine. I don't know how that happened. I do agree with that, though.

Susan Boyle continues to break records.........she was voted last week as Scotscare "Scot of the Year" with 95% of the total International vote, the highest in the history of the competition! She is the voice of the ages and I am eager to hear her 3rd album, then the 4th, 5th, 6th, etc., etc., etc.!!

Yes, she has a beautiful voice and a sweet attitude. I mean, even cillowen has something positive to say about her!
Searlit | Jan 25, 2011, 10:50 PM EST
I think it's great that she's still so down to earth that she only spent $300,000 on a house when she could have spent 3 mil!

Anything good that happens to this fabulous woman and her voice of a golden angel is something good that happens to me as well. It makes me happy. Have never felt so proud and glad for anyone in the vocal field before...Right on, Irish Scot, Susan Boyle!

If there is anyone on the planet who has not heard Susan's spectacular albums, be aware that you are missing the most beautiful and glorious voice ever heard. Susan has now won the Scot of The Year award - well deserved and truly earned. She has another album due out in the spring - another blockbuster no doubt. Susan is shining her light throughout the world.

Just an great accomplishment!!!!!! love her voice.

This lady and her VOICE are soul-searingly AMAZING AND DELIGHTFUL! Whatever the song, I listen closely to her unique vocal nuances and inflections ... unlike the other morally embarassing and faux singers of today, she pours her soul into every rendition! She fashions the musical lyrics into arrows and aims them straight into the listener's heart! BE PROUD THAT SHE IS OF IRISH ANCESTRY! The WORLD is .....
