William Hill Stops Susan Boyle Wagers
Will Susan Boyle's incredible voice and instant popularity be enough to see her reach the number one position on the charts over Christmas?
The staff at William Hill bookies were too sure that the Britain's Got Talent star would manage to retain her popularity after she made headlines across the world with her incredible performance on the show in April, 2009.
Since her interpretation of, "I Dreamed a Dream", Miss Boyle has attracted the attention of millions from all four corners of the earth.
A whistle stop tour to the United States and a flawless appearance on the X Factor, however, convinced William Hill that Boyle was going nowhere and they suspended betting on the star being number one on the Christmas charts.
Boyle released her first album this week, which sold 130,000 copies on the first day. By the end of this week, it is expected to sell half a million copies.
Not everybody is convinced that Susan Boyle will head the charts, however. Most bookies have decided to keep the singer in the race, with many believing that the top of the Christmas chart will be the winner of this season's X Factor.
