"Very rarely does this sort of thing happen," Honig said. "Susan is such a genuine personality and her story is, ultimately, one of the most compelling.”

Demand for the the 48-year-old Scottish singer's album was unprecedented, as Amazon reported that advanced sales numbers of the recording had trumped numbers generated by artists such as U2, Bruce Springsteen and Coldplay, to name a few.

Boyle's debut album, I Dreamed a Dream, which also features covers of classics such as "Daydream Believer" and "Amazing Grace," is in stores now; I Dreamed a Dream: The Susan Boyle Story debuts Sunday, December 13 at 8/7c on the TV Guide Network.
