Susan Boyle's second album is already being tipped for this year's Christmas number one, even though it has not been recorded.

Reports claim that Amazon have had more than two million requests in just two weeks for the sequel to West Lothian singer's debut album, I Dreamed A Dreamed.

But the online retailer said they did not release this figure and pre-orders for the album were not their most requested.

As well as being one of the biggest selling albums in the world last year, I Dreamed A Dream was also the best selling debut by a female artist in the UK. It sold over 400 thousand copies in the UK, overtaking sales by JLS, U2 and Robbie Williams.

Susan, who is said to be worth 4 million pounds, is due to start recording her second album in two weeks. It is thought it will be released at the end of November and now stands a strong chance of going to number one over Christmas.
