She may not have won the competition but Jackie Evancho, the 10-year old phenom discovered by America’s Got Talent with an out-of-this-world operatic voice, has set a Billboard record with the release of the album “O Holy Night.”

The album sold 239,000 copies in its first-week of release, is ranked number 2 on the Billboard 200 chart and made Evnacho the top-selling debut artist of 2010. Not too shabby for a pre-teen.

“Jackie Evancho is one of the purest and finest vocalists I’ve ever heard, and the initial response to her debut release has been phenomenal,” said Steve Barnett, Chairman of Columbia Records.
