In the United States, Boyle's album charted at number one on the Billboard 200 album charts. The singles were a success in the United States, with "Wild Horses" making ninety-eight and "I Dreamed a Dream" making sixty-two. In 2010, Boyle was one of few artists who featured on Simon Cowell's 2010 Haiti earthquake appeal single, "Everybody Hurts", a cover of the R.E.M. song.

On 9 July 2010, Boyle announced that her second album would be a Christmas album entitled The Gift. As part of the lead-up to the album, she held a competition called Susan's Search, the winner of which sang a duet with her on her new CD. The album was released on 8 November 2010.

Emeli Sandé was reported to have helped Boyle to write songs for her third studio album, Someone to Watch Over Me, which was released on 31 October 2011. Boyle performed on the second semi-final results show of the sixth season of America's Got Talent, which aired on 31 August 2011. Boyle made her first appearance in Australia, on The X Factor, on 8 November 2011 and sang "Autumn Leaves". In November 2012 she released her fourth studio album, Standing Ovation: The Greatest Songs from the Stage. In two of the songs, she collaborates with Donny Osmond.

As of 2013, Boyle had sold over 25 million records worldwide.[1]

gollark: New Earth shape belief?
gollark: Point is that it's not exactly a very significant hurdle for whoever is designing weapons, but is quite annoying for people working on cubesats and balloons and stuff.
gollark: It's a weird restriction, considering that presumably if you can engineer an entire missile you can also work out a way around restrictions in GPS hardware, to be honest.
gollark: Apparently the US was worried about GPS being used by enemy ICBMs (???) so now consumer GPS devices will refuse to work above certain speeds/heights.
gollark: You can do GPS with RTL-SDRs apparently, which gets around the weird height/speed restrictions in consumer devices.
