Alden Richards, the hottest leading man on Philippine TV, is now a Gold record-awardee as Universal Records recently announced that his self-titled debut album has officially reached its Gold record status. 

On Friday, September 25 in Eat Bulaga, Alden received a Gold record plaque from Universal Records’ General Manager Kathleen Dy-Go where our “Pambansang Bae” went emotional and thanked his album producers and supporters for making this possible. 

“Nagpapasalamat po ako sa Universal Records for trusting me with my first album na kahit hindi po ako singer ay binigyan nilaako ng chance. Sa lahat po ng sumusuporta ng album, salamatpo!” said the teary-eyed actor. Alden is currently a host of GMA 7’s Eat Bulaga and popularly paired to Maine “Yaya Dub” Mendoza in the phenomenal segment “Kalyeserye.”

The album contains seven tracks including his covers of “Naaalala Ka” by Rey Valera, “‘Di Na Mababawi” by Spongecola and Itchyworms’ “Akin Ka Na Lang” and his carrier single, Shamrock’s “Haplos“ which instantly rose to the top of the charts and became the theme of GMA tv series “Mundo Mo’y Akin”.   

Alden Richards’ self-titled debut album under Universal Records is still available at all leading record bars nationwide. For more information, follow Universal Records’ official social media accounts at Twitter.com/universalrecph, Facebook.com/universalrecordsphfanpage and Instagram.com/universalrecordsphilippines
