Featuring authentic, true-to-the-recording piano/vocal arrangements with guitar chord grids, Alfred is proud to offer Boyle's rendition of The Rolling Stones' rock classic "Wild Horses"—the first single from her chart-topping album. Available in January, Boyle fans will soon be able to pick up the entire I Dreamed a Dream album as a piano/vocal songbook, complete with beautiful album-matching piano accompaniments arranged in the exact keys sung by Boyle. The songbook features an exclusive biography, created specifically for inclusion in this must-have, collector's edition. Susan Boyle rocketed to international stardom when she appeared on Simon Cowell's Britain's Got Talent. Global interest in the Scottish singer was triggered by the unique contrast between her powerful voice and her plain stage presence. Soon after her audition for the show, worldwide internet response and international media interest thrust Boyle into the global spotlight—receiving hundreds of millions of YouTube video impressions featuring the singer. Boyle's debut album, I Dreamed a Dream—released on November 23, 2009—has continued making headlines about the singer with positive reviews and record breaking sales. Billboard reported the album sold 701,000 copies within its first week—the best sales week for an album in the U.S. this year. In addition, I Dreamed a Dream has also received the title of the best opening week for a female artist's debut album since 1991, when SoundScan started tracking sales. "Wild Horses" single sheet music, as recorded by Susan Boyle, is now available for $3.95. Purchase your copy at a local music retail store, buy it online.
