Heidi Montag’s 2010 record “Superficial” is now No. 1 on iTunes after her husband, Spencer Pratt, asked fans to stream the album to help generate income after their house burned down in the Palisades fire.
On Friday, Pratt posted a series of photos to TikTok of him posing in front of his destroyed home with the caption, “Please stream any of [Heidi Montag’s] music on any platforms it will make a huge difference.”
“Anyone that hasn’t gone to iTunes, just do it now. Let’s go to No. 1,” Pratt said last week on TikTok. “We’ll get the screenshot, she’ll be a famous pop star for when her kids are grown up. She’ll be in the history books.” “They won’t know it’s because our house burned down, and we have no possessions and people are just trying to support us. They’ll just be like, ‘Wow! My mom was a pop superstar that was No. 1 on the charts.’”Pratt posted a video to Instagram shortly after celebrating the achievement.
“Popstar Heidi Montag No. 1 on iTunes America,” Pratt said. “Thank you everyone! Who needs a house, who needs clothes, who needs anything but this level of clout, pop, superstardom? Our sons are gonna be like, ‘My mom was No. 1 on iTunes America.’ Thank you to everyone who made this happen.”
Montag also thanked fans in a video posted to TikTok and Instagram on Saturday night, “Thank you so much to everyone, No. 1 on iTunes charts, oh my gosh. Thank you for the overwhelming love and support of my music and really rallying behind us in this devastating time and making it such a blessing.”Now that they’ve conquered the iTunes charts, Pratt and Montag are moving on to Billboard. In a follow-up post on TikTok, Pratt urged anyone “who owns a radio station or knows a radio station” to plug “Superficial” in order to help their chances.
“We need radio play, I guess, not just iTunes to get No. 1 on Billboard charts, which is the ultimate goal,” Pratt said. “Cause then it’s like, that a wrap, Heidi is the biggest superstar in the world.”
