2010-09-21来源:和谐英语

  Scottish singer Susan Boyle has been given three different entries in the new Guinness World Records book。

  Her debut album I Dreamed A Dream was the fastest selling album by a UK female and also had the most successful first week's sales of a UK debut album, with 411,820 copies sold. Boyle, who shot to worldwide fame after appearing on a TV talent show, was also the oldest person to reach number one with a debut album。

  The singer, from West Lothian, was 48 when her album went to the top spot. Boyle said it was a "real honor" to appear in the Guinness World Records。

  She said: "I used to read this book as a young girl. I never dreamt that one day I would actually appear in the Guinness Book of Records. I only ever wanted to sing and perform. This is truly fantastic."

  据英国广播公司9月19日报道,被大家称作“苏珊大妈”的苏格兰歌手苏珊-鲍伊尔日前获得了三项“世界吉尼斯纪录”的确认。

  报道称,她的首发专辑《我有一个梦想》被确认为英国女歌手唱片销售速度之冠,同时也是英国本土第一周销量最佳的首发唱片,销量达41万多张。此外,鲍伊尔在选修电视节目《英国达人》上一炮走红后,成为了首发唱片登上销量榜首的年纪最大的歌手。

  专辑夺冠时,来自西洛西恩的苏珊-鲍伊尔已经48岁,她对能够名留吉尼斯世界纪录表示“深感荣幸”。

  苏珊说:“当我还是个很小的小女孩时,我还常常看这本书(《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》)。但我从来没想到有一天自己也能被收录到这本书里。我只是一直渴望唱歌和表演。这一切真得让人难以置信。
