A new album by Co Tyrone singer Donna Taggart has flown straight to the top of the Billboard World Album Music Chart in the US, just weeks after one of her songs went viral online.
Taggart's album, Celtic Lady Vol. 2, hit the top spot after she posted her single, Jealous of The Angels, onto her Facebook page in early August.
It has since been viewed 27 million times and the song has also propelled her to No. 1 in the iTunes USA Easy Listening Chart and also to the top in seven other countries, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and the UK.
Jealous of The Angels has also enjoyed 2.5 million hits on YouTube and has also reached No 43 in the US top downloaded tracks, alongside Beyoncé, Jay Z and Kanye West.
She's No 1 all over heaven
Omagh-born mother of two Taggart works in children’s education, providing behavioural support to children who are on the autism spectrum and she began singing when she was 22.
