Alden Richards’ album under GMA Records “Wish I May” is certified a platinum hit! Prior to its release, it had already reached the Gold mark, mostly from pre-order sales. The same-titled carrier single has also garnered close to 329,000d views on YouTube.

Launched over the weekend at SM City North Edsa, fans braved the rains caused by Typhoon Lando to support Alden’s budding musical career.

The album has 11 tracks: five song cuts, five instrumentals, and an acoustic version of its carrier single. The five song cuts include covers of Brian White’s God Gave Me You and Ed Sheeran’s Thinking Out Loud, as well as original compositions Urong Sulong and Wish I May.

Alden’s Wish I May, the theme song of GMA’s weeknight series of the same title, is currently the top Philippine album on iTunes. As the most downloaded song on Apple’s music site, it has beaten Justin Bieber’s What Do You Mean and Taylor Swift’s Wildest Dreams.

If the album’s consistent following is sustained, Wish I May could join the elite circle of artists with multiple-platinum hits that include Jose Mari Chan, Nora Aunor and Jessa Zaragoza.
