April 16, 2010
The Beatles and Susan Boyle Boost British Sales In The USNew figures show that British music is still making waves in the US largely thanks to The Beatles and Susan Boyle.

Over the post 12 months, The Sun claims British artists have accounted for one in ten albums sold Stateside – a significant percentage of the market.

The phenomenal rise of Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle gave British sales a massive boost. MOI Dreamed A Dream' in the US in the last six weeks of 2009 alone.

Meanwhile, The Beatles reissued all of their 14 albums in a remastered format – a collection of works that shifted in excess of 3.2million units.
