Lady Gaga, Susan Boyle UK`s best sellers

Lady Gaga and Boyle`s albums were crowned for biggest-selling records of '09.

London: Lady Gaga`s single "Poker Face" and Susan Boyle`s debut album "I Dreamed A Dream" were crowned Britain`s biggest-selling records of 2009, the Official Charts Company said on Sunday.
New Yorker Lada Gaga`s debut single, "Just Dance," was number three in the official singles chart of 2009, just behind Black Eyed Peas` "I Gotta Feeling." Boyle, the runner-up of the "Britain`s Got Talent" TV show, claimed top spot in the year`s album chart after "I Dreamed a Dream" sold more than 1.5 million copies in six weeks. The 48-year-old Scottish singer was unknown before her appearance on the talent show last April and became an overnight Internet sensation. Boyle edged Lady Gaga`s "The Fame" into second place in the list of the year`s best-selling albums ahead of Michael Buble`s "Crazy Love." In the latest week`s British singles chart, Lady Gaga`s single "Bad Romance" returned to the number one spot. She pushed X Factor winner Joe McElderry`s debut single "The Climb" down to number two. Black Eyed Peas moved up three places to third with "Meet Me Halfway." In the week`s albums chart, there was a return to the number one slot for Paolo Nutini`s "Sunny Side Up" which was first number one in June 2009. Lady Gaga`s "The Fame" occupied number two with Boyle`s album in third. Bureau Report
