The album is the first for the 48-year-old Scottish singer, and has already broken a record: it's the most pre-ordered CD in the history of Amazon.com, the retailer said on Thursday, according to CNN.

Boyle raised eyebrows when she auditioned for the British show Britain's Got Talent gaining the ovation of the entire auditorium, including from the strict judges.

Her album has even outpaced pre-orders of Whitney Houston's much anticipated comeback CD I Look to You.
