Will Richard And Adam’s Impossible Dream come true?

Britain’s Got Talent brothers on course for Number 1 with debut album The Impossible Dream.

They may have come third in this year’s Britain’s Got Talent final, but Richard and Adam Johnson are poised to finish in pole position on this week’s Official Albums Chart.

Richard And Adam thought their dreams of becoming recording artists were over when a member of the orchestra stormed the stage during their performance in Britain’s Got Talent’s live final and pelted judge Simon Cowell with a carton of eggs. But now, it looks like the brothers from Holywell, North Wales may knock Jahmene Douglas’ Love Never Fails (Number 2) off Number 1 this weekend, according to today’s Official Chart Update with their debut album, The Impossible Dream.  

“We can’t believe how well the album’s doing,” Adam tells OfficialCharts.com. “We’re absolutely overwhelmed with all the support, so thank you to each and every one of you for making our dreams come true.”

“Everyone I’m sure saw our final performance, which was interrupted by an unfortunate case of some egg throwing,” laughs Richard. “But we’re so happy now to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Simon Cowell gave us some wise words after the show. He said ‘Just keep working hard, doing what you’re doing, and I’m sure everything will work out really well for you.’ His wise words have really come true, and we just hope we can continue on the path we’re on.”

David Guetta’s Nothing ButThe Beat climbs five places to Number 3 on today’s Update, while Passenger holds firm at Number 4 with All The Little Lights.
