Jackie Evancho's 2009 album "Prelude to a Dream" is climbing the charts in the wake of her breakout appearance on "America's Got Talent."
Evancho's CD is currently one of the top-selling items on both Amazon and iTunes. Her record label has sold out of copies of the CD and is in the process of printing another run.
Evancho entered the public eye when she sang Puccini's "O Mio Babbino Caro" on "America's Got Talent" Tuesday night. Her performance earned rave reviews from the judges and captured the attention of the country.
As of this writing, a video of Evancho singing on "Talent" was YouTube's most-viewed clip on Friday. The original video of her "Talent" performance has been watched by over 2 million people in the less than three days since it was posted on Tuesday.
"Prelude to a Dream" is currently number 10 on Amazon's albums chart and number eight at iTunes. It was released Nov. 10, 2009, through CD Baby, a record company that helps unsigned artists release their own albums. A CD Baby representative said they can't release Evancho's specific sales numbers without NBC's approval, due to the terms of her "America's Got Talent" contract; NBC has not yet responded to calls from TheWrap.
But the company did say it was "completely sold out" and in the process of making more copies to fulfill the massive demand.
