The promise to competitors represents Wal-Mart's willingness to pick up the gloves and resume its price battle with Amazon.com or any other online retailer.

Vasquez said a few weeks ago, "If there is going to be a Wal-Mart on the Web, its going to be Walmart.com."

The Post added that even though Amazon.com currently holds the title with its $19.5 billion online business, Walmart.com seems to be catching up quick, growing at a faster rate this year by about 1.4%.

Boyle became an Internet star after she brought the house down last April by singing "I Dreamed a Dream" from "Les Miserables" during her appearance on the television competition show "Britain's Got Talent."

"We were excited when Susan Boyle's album became the top CD pre-order in the United States. We're absolutely ecstatic now that the album has become our largest global CD pre-order," Craig Pape, senior manager of music at Amazon.com, said in a statement Thursday. "Looking at the rest of our global Top 5, you see titles that resonated in their local markets. Susan's album is clearly capturing the hearts of our customers around the globe."

"One of the things that is so unique about Susan Boyle is her ability to touch people around the world," said Steve Barnett, chairman of Columbia Records. "We're excited that 'I Dreamed a Dream' holds the new record for global pre-orders and that Amazon's customers have supported her album in this way."

Coming in at No. 2 on Amazon's Top 5 CD pre-orders of all time are Mr. Children's "Supermarket Fantasy," followed by Ken Hirai's "Ken Hirai 10th Anniversary Complete Single Collection, '95-'05" at No. 3, Norah Jones's "Not Too Late" at No. 4 and Take That's "Never Forget: The Ultimate Collection."
