Richard and Adam’s Impossible Dream comes true

Britain’s Got Talent duo enter the Official Albums Chart at Number 1 with their debut album, The Impossible Dream.

They may have finished third in the final of this year’s Britain’s Got Talent, but Richard and Adam Johnson have gone straight in at Number 1 on this week’s Official Albums Chart.

The brothers from Holywell, North Wales, have knocked X Factor star Jahmene Douglas off the top spot with their debut album, The Impossible Dream. 

“We can’t believe we’re Number 1,” Richard tells OfficialCharts.com. “It’s a dream come true to have an album out, but to be in the position to go home and tell Nan, and Mum and Dad we’re actually Number 1 is incredible!”

“It’s amazing!” adds Adam. “You’ve made us happy, and you’ve made our Nan extremely happy, so thank you to each and everyone of you who’s bought the album!”

Jahmene Douglas’ Love Never Fails is down one place to Number 2, while this week’s Official Albums Chart Top 5 is completed by Passenger’s All The Little Lights (3), Jay Z’s Magna Carta Holy Grail (4), and Rod Stewart’s Time (5).
