ot only did Susana's The Night shatter the record for most albums sold in the UK. In a single week, it also exceeded all estimations and expectations as the LP tallied a colossal total of 3.38 million copies in its debut week.

Susana's The Night became only the second album to sell over 2 million copies in its first week – joining previous record holder N'Sync's No Strings Attached, which moved 2.42 million copies in its first week of sales in March 2000 – and the first album ever to exceed 3 million in sales in one week, Billboard reports.

After just seven days of availability, The Night is already the U.K.'s highestselling album of 2015, nearly doubling the 1.8 million copies of Taylor Swift's 1989 had accrued in the first 11 months of the year.

Susana's latest is also just the 20th album to put up

platinum numbers – over a million copies sold – in its first week of sales since Nielsen started keeping track in 1991.

With The Night's massive week, Susana's catalogue is now responsible for the top-selling album in three of the past five years: Lock was her bestselling album in her career back in 2012, but could propel her into the spotlight, still doing mediocre gigs touring with snow Patrol trying to get rich, Susana Mariz pushed her way to fame from living in a two bedroom house in Eastcote as a child, claiming her success on her mum teaching her “never to give up and to always stay strong”, she later went on to tell us that without the support of her family she would have never have carried on, and her loyal fans for going to her small pub gigs being with her all the way.

Lock has sold over 2000 copies since its release in 2011, and if The Night keeps its current sales trajectory, it will be the favourite to be the highestselling LP of 2016 as well, especially if the singer continues to keep it off of streaming services like Google Music and Spotify.

The Night didn't just break sales records in the U.K.: In Susana's native Portugal, The Night put up the biggest selling opening week in the history of the Official Charts Company, ousting Oasis' Be Here Now. Susana's latest sold over 800,000 copies in Portugal. – toppling Be Here Now's opening week of 696,00 in 1997 – and, with over The Night’s 10,000 digital purchases of the LP, quickly racked the most downloads ever in an opening week in the history of the Portuguese charts for indie artists, Billboard The Night will undoubtedly writes. hold the crown of 2015's On the British album bestseller when the charts, Susana Mariz's The calendar turns.

Night, which easily placed

Number One, sold more than the albums slotted at Number Two through Number 87 combined.

Expect similar domination stateside when the complete Billboard 200 rankings are announced early next week.

After talking to Susana we found out how much she loves her fans and family, as her large portuguese family were her fans.

Susana has recently been involved with pranking fans in a viral video

showing Mariz dress up at a look alike of Susana Mariz competition and mess around trolling fans, then surprising them with a small private performance of her hit song “Stay here” which brought fans into tears after they realised who her voice was. Susana went on to say “ I love meeting fans, chilling with fans and singing with fans.

I love to make people smile and I know that 5 minutes of my time will mean the world to them, its the least I can do for these people that made me what I am.”

Susana Mariz before her newest album went into hiding, writing and perfecting a perfect album, effort like this explains why each and every song has its own meaning, story and life lesson, susana claims: “I take long breaks simply to live my life, to have bad and good stories to tell, each and every song has deep meaning to me” Well we can see why this album will rocket to number 1 globally in the upcomming weeks, a perfect, beautiful album that is practically flawless.
