Boyle has been nominated for two Grammys and holds the record for the most viewed YouTube video of 2009; additionally, she has sold over 22 million albums and boasts number 1 albums in over 40 countries.

Speaking about her first US tour, Susan Boyle said, “This is a brilliant moment for me.  The USA embraced and supported me from the beginning and it really feels like a second home so I can’t wait to get on the road and perform there.”

Susan she has sung for the Pope, the Queen, ticked off her wish list of meeting musical and screen idols, and smashed musical records previously held by the Beatles that had remained unchanged since the 1960’s, by achieving two simultaneous number one albums in the US and the UK in 12 months. In 2011 she became the first female artist in 65 years of the UK charts to have three albums go straight to number one in succession. Coupled with a successful autobiography, a musical about her life story, and a sell out UK tour, Susan is an unstoppable force.

Boyle’s accolades in the USA are immense. Signed to Syco/Columbia since 2009, she is the first and only person over 50 to debut at number one with their first album and the first solo act and only female artist to have two albums, I Dreamed A Dream and The Gift at number one in both the UK and USA within one year, a record previously held by The Beatles.  Boyle also holds the record for the most pre-release orders ever in Amazon history, with four consecutive albums reaching number one on the top four “Best Sellers Charts,” worldwide.
