Susan Boyle sold 701 K in her first week

Best selling first week of ANY female EVER

WTF !!!

those were Compact Disc

SOMEONE explain this shit

xenigo · 12-03-2009, 05:06 PM

Look at her market. Who is she selling those albums to? Who buys her music? What kind of technological savvy do they typically have?

Probably older fat women JUST LIKE HER, who have never been kissed. Do you think they're busy surfing the torrent sites and Easynews looking for her album? LOL

Look dude, I'm 31. I'm established enough in life to not give a shit about parting with $30 to buy a Blu-Ray. Or $15 to buy a CD. These days I'm more worried about getting some virus from surfing ThePirateBay.

I'm pretty sure most 50 year olds have a good income, and are in a similar category. In fact I know a lot of guys like that... and trust me, when they want a new album they go to the store and buy it. Or they get it from iTunes.

Now don't get me wrong... my dad used to work for a company called Valley Media here in Northern California, and they were the largest media distributor in the world. They went out of business about 5 years ago, and it was blamed on music piracy. I know it happens... but not so much in the demographic of Susan Boyle.

she is not pretty and she is not friend with paris hilton, how did she do it?

Klen · 12-03-2009, 05:25 PM

Well i guess power of youtube did this

kane · 12-03-2009, 05:26 PM

I think a lot of it has to do with her target audience and them not being as internet fluent as others. I read not too long ago that those that identify themselves as country music fans do the least amount of illegal music downloading. It makes me wonder if country music fans just don't have the know how or tech knowledge to download or if it is that many of them posses the values of not stealing and paying for what you want.

Well said about the spending on anti virus shit!

And yes, most of her fans are the older generation that can either afford or would rather the original!

She can sing

This is the best thing that could have ever happened to the music industry. It finally shows them that their fucking formula (young, hot singers and cookie cutter rip offs of last weeks number one hit) is crap. Susan Boyle is almost 50, overweight, unattractive, and has a cat fetish. People like her because they saw her on fucking TV. Sadly, however, the industry will continue to fuck up by overproducing last weeks success. Expect to see a thousand Susan Boyle copy cats next week. Pathetic.

Word to aspiring artists - FUCK talent, FUCK looks, FUCK good songs. Get a reality TV show or crash a white house state dinner and you too will get a major label deal. William FUCKING NO TALENT Hung got a deal. Paris FUCKING NO TALENT Hilton got a deal. K FUCKING NO TALENT Fed go a deal.

brassmonkey · 12-03-2009, 05:42 PM

she's ugly

PornMD · 12-03-2009, 05:47 PM

They say sex sells...apparently ugly sells too, lol.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing - good thing in that it's something non-rap non-R&B non-pop shit non-emo rock that sold really really well. The bad thing is that now all these record labels will be trying to find the next Susan Boyle, not realizing that it's pretty much going to be a one-time phenomenon a la MDHP.

Les Grossman · 12-03-2009, 10:27 PM

Good for her. It reminds us that there still is REAL talent out there.

Iron Fist · 12-04-2009, 12:29 AM

I guess an ugly fart like me can belt out some tune and make a million! Ahhh.. the power of hope.

Simon Cowell (sp?) just made a grip of Xmas cash.
