Singing Superstar Susan Boyle has been nominated for a second Grammy Award for her record breaking album ‘The Gift’.
A nominee in the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album category for ‘The Gift’, Susan is up against music legends Barbara Streisand, Tony Bennett, Harry Connick Jr and Seth McFarlane.
On hearing the news this morning in Scotland Susan said; "I am thrilled to have been nominated a second time for a grammy award.
"It is a real honour but to be in a category with Barbara Streisand and Tony Bennett, well I'm lost for words. It is wonderful. Just to have been nominated again is fantastic."
Winners will be announced at the 54th Annual GRAMMY® Awards ceremony in Los Angeles on "GRAMMY® Sunday," the 12th February 2012.
The news of Susan's GRAMMY® nomination arrives alongside the success she's currently enjoying with ‘Someone To Watch Over Me’, her third album.
‘The Gift’, released in November 2010, mirrored the achievements of her first album when it shot to number 1 in the US and the UK less than 12 months after ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ had achieved the same feat.
Susan became the first female artist ever to have the double Number 1 album spot in the US and UK twice in under a year and was the only artist in the history of music to have reached this pinnacle since the Beatles in 1969.
When The Gift entered the official UK chart and the US Billboard 200 chart at Number 1, it became the fastest selling holiday album, on both sides of the Atlantic.
