In the popular culture section, please add the Brooklyn 99 reference made by Charles Boyle in Season 6, Episode 15. Charles says, "It's such a classic Boyle trait not to recognize talent. My cousin Susan didn't know she could sing until her late 40s."
Boyle became the first female artist in history to have a number one album simultaneously in both the United Kingdom and United States within the space of a year. This is in the opening of the article. Does this make sense or am I missing something? Tuzapicabit (talk) 00:38, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is what the ref at the end of the paragraph says, emphasis mine:
“
In 2010 Susan became the first female artist to have a number one album simultaneously in both the UK & the US, twice in less than 12 months.
I've changed it to The success continued with her second studio album, The Gift (2010), where she became only the third act ever (and the first woman artist) to top both the UK and US album charts with two different albums in the same year. which hopefully makes more sense.

The achievement itself is so convoluted that I doubt there is a really straightforward way to describe it. ;)
