PRE-ORDER 20 YEARS - THE GREATEST HITS
Since winning Pop Idol’s first series in 2002, Will has gone on to become one of the most successful contestants to ever appear on the show, with over 10 million records sold, 8 UK Top 3 albums including his recent 2021 album Crying On The Bathroom Floor, and the #1 best-selling single of the noughties ‘Evergreen/Anything Is Possible’.
Pop Idol was broadcast to as many as 10 million viewers when it originally aired, shooting Will to fame and awarding him with a record deal to release his beloved UK Number 1 debut album From Now On after receiving a massive 4.6 million votes from the public. The singing competition was one of the first of its kind, and with just two series it cemented its legacy in British pop culture and became an international TV franchise.
