X Factor 2013 winner Sam Bailey has scored the fastest-selling album of the year so far with her debut, The Power Of Love.

According to the Official Charts Company, the Skyscraper singer topped the Mother's Day chart yesterday (March 30) with sales of nearly 73,000 copies.

Speaking of her success, Bailey - who is expecting her third child - stated: "This really is the icing on the cake to an incredible few months. 

"I’ve worked hard to get where I am and I’m so happy that everyone is liking what I’m doing, it really is a dream come true!”

Sharon Osbourne, who was Sam's mentor on the ITV talent show, later took to Twitter to congratulate the star, writing: "Remember, you've always  been my number 1. So proud."

View the lyrics
Skies are crying, I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence as it's ending,
Like we never had a chance
Do you have to, make me feel like there's nothing left of me?

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down,
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!

As the smoke clears I awaken,
And untangle you from me
Would it make you, feel better to watch me while I bleed?
All my windows, still are broken, but I'm standing on my feet!

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down,
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!

Go on run run run
I'm gonna stand by here
Watch you disappear, yeah
Go on run run run
Yeah, it's a long way down
But I am closer to the clouds from here

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down,
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!

The achievement means that Sam is the first X Factor champion since Alexandra Burke in 2009 to reach No.1 with her debut LP.

Her album features collaborations with Michael Bolton and former XF judge Nicole Scherzinger.
