10 year old to make history on Billboard's Hot 100

I think this is the evidence that the music industry has officially changed. Jackie Evancho, former America's Got Talent contestant is the highest selling debut artist on the Billboard Hot 100. She's only 10 years old. 10! I don't even remember what I was doing when I was that age. Playing dolls? But apparently Miss Evancho is a seasoned pro.

"In the fashion of Charlotte Church and Hayley Westenra, age 13 and 17 respectively; Evancho has a “classical crossover” style. Her “O Holy Night” is a four-song EP which consists of two Christmas songs and two classical pieces. “Pie Jesu” which Evancho performed on “America’s Got Talent” and “Oprah”.
The Pittsburgh native first charted last summer with “Prelude To a Dream” which peaked at #121. The independently recorded attempt was pulled. Columbia Records is now hosting the young singer."

I wish I had a record contract at 10!
