Boyle and Gaga split honors on '09 charts


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 Lady Gaga's debut single, "Just Dance," was No. 3 on the singles chart of 2009, just behind Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling."

Boyle, the runner-up in the "Britain's Got Talent" TV show, claimed top album spot 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 after which she became an overnight Internet sensation.

Boyle edged Lady Gaga's "The Fame" into second place on the album list ahead of Michael Buble's "Crazy Love."
