TALENT spotters tipped him for stardom – and their predictions now look set to come true with early sales placing Andrew Johnston’s debut album inside the top five this week.
The Carlisle schoolboy, who shot to fame on TV show Britain’s Got Talent, released One Voice on Monday after signing a lucrative deal with music mogul Simon Cowell.
Demand for the 14-year-old’s album has been such that some shops in Carlisle had reportedly sold out by Tuesday.
Trinity School pupil Andrew, of Stanwix, met some of his city fans when he signed copies of One Voice at Woolworths on Wednesday, where he thanked supporters for their backing.
Tracks on his album include his moving rendition of Pie Jesu, Eric Clapton’s Tears In Heaven and Walking In the Air, from the soundtrack of The Snowman.
Footage of Andrew’s first Britain’s Got Talent audition has now been watched by more than five million people on internet video-sharing website YouTube.
Rock band The Kings of Leon are predicted to hold on to the number one spot in this week’s final album chart on Sunday.
