\n\tHeidi Montag\u2019s<\/a> 2010 album Superficial<\/em> <\/a>has achieved an unexpected resurgence, surging to No. 1 on iTunes following a social media push by her husband, Spencer Pratt. <\/p>\n \n\tThe couple, who first found fame on the reality series The Hills<\/em>, lost their home in the Pacific Palisades<\/a> wildfire<\/a>. Amid the tragedy, the pair turned to social media to share their journey and encourage fans to stream Montag\u2019s music as a way to help them rebuild.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cAnyone that hasn\u2019t gone to iTunes, just do it now. Let\u2019s go to No. 1,\u201d Pratt said last week on TikTok. \u201cWe\u2019ll get the screenshot, she\u2019ll be a famous pop star for when her kids are grown up. She\u2019ll be in the history books.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThey won\u2019t know it\u2019s because our house burned down, and we have no possessions and people are just trying to support us. They\u2019ll just be like, \u2018Wow! My mom was a\u00a0pop superstar\u00a0that was No. 1 on the charts.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe campaign gained traction quickly, with support from fans and fellow celebrities like Emily Ratajkowski and Flavor Flav, who posted a TikTok<\/a> of himself dancing to Montag\u2019s track with the caption, \u201cDoing my part to get Heidi to No. 1.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tOver the weekend, both the album and titular song hit No. 1 on iTunes, beating out much more recent releases from Bad Bunny, Bruno Mars, Teddy Swims and Morgan Wallen.<\/p>\n \n\tPratt jubilantly shared<\/a> on social media amid the news his wife\u2019s album had surpassed Bad Bunny\u2019s Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos<\/em><\/a> on iTunes. \u201cPopstar Heidi Montag No. 1 on iTunes America! 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, \u2018My mom was No. 1 on iTunes America.\u2019 Thank you to everyone who made this happen.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tMontag also thanked fans in a video posted to TikTok and Instagram on Saturday night, \u201cThank 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.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThank you for helping support us, helping build us back up, helping to encourage us, give us that hope and faith and excitement in such a dark, dark time,\u201d she added, noting the \u201ccrazy\u201d timing of it being the album\u2019s 15-year anniversary.<\/p>\n \n\tFollowing Montag\u2019s major achievement, Pratt, who recently reached over one million followers on TikTok while sharing candid updates about the destruction of their home, has now set his sights on the Billboard charts.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cSo I was just informed that for Heidi to get No. 1 on Billboard, we need all do it or Superficial<\/em> to be on the radio. So anybody that has a radio station, you know, a radio station on social media you can tag, please ask them for the next week to play \u2018I\u2019ll Do It\u2019 or Superficial<\/em> from Heidi\u2019s album,\u201d Pratt said in one of his updates. <\/a><\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWe need radio play, I guess not just iTunes, to get No. 1 on Billboard charts, which is the ultimate goal, cause then it\u2019s like, that\u2019s a wrap. Heidi is the biggest superstar in the world, you know, obviously not Taylor Swift, but it\u2019s like Taylor Swift, Heidi Montag.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tHe joked about enlisting the help of Taylor Swift\u2019s fanbase, saying, \u201cI need all the Swifties back up. I mean, I really do need Taylor, you know, I think I\u2019m gonna have to, you know, get out the bat phone and put the Swiftie light in the sky. Like, we need some Taylor Swift support here.\u201d<\/p>\n
