Heidi Montag, the reality TV star who dethroned Bad Bunny from 1 one on Spotify, after losing everything in the Los Angeles fires

Heidi Montag, the star of reality TV known for ‘The Hills’, achieved an unexpected milestone in her musical career thanks to her husband Steven Pratt after losing her home in the devastating fires of Los Angeles.

His album ‘Superficial’, released 15 years ago, surprisingly reached number one on Spotify, even surpassing the king of streaming, Bad Bunny.

The drama began when home of Heidi and her husband Spencer Pratt, valued at three million dollars, was completely destroyed by flames in Pacific Palisades. The couple barely managed to escape with their lives, without being able to rescue any of their belongings.

Fans did the unexpected

In the midst of this tragedy, Montag’s fans started a massive streaming campaign for his album ‘Superficial’. This gesture of support, which included celebrities such as model Emily Ratajkowski, catapulted the album to the top of the iTunes and Spotify charts.

The success is even more shocking considering that ‘Superficial’ was a commercial failure upon its original release, selling just a thousand copies. Now, 15 years later, the album is having its moment of glory.

Montag expressed his gratitude on social media: “Thank you for the overwhelming love and support of my music, for joining us in this devastating time and turning it into a blessing.” The singer added: “Thank you for helping us rebuild, for giving us hope and emotion in such a dark time.”

Meanwhile, Spencer Pratt, Heidi’s husband, announced his plans to sue the State of California for negligence in responding to the fires. Pratt claims he frantically called 911 as he watched his house burn on security cameras, but firefighters never arrived.

Despite the tragedy, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt try to stay positive. In several TikToks, Montag has shared his emotional process, alternating between tears of sadness and smiles of gratitude for being safe with his family.

The fires in Los Angeles affected numerous celebrities

Figures such as Billy Crystal, Mandy Moore, Anna Faris and Ricki Lake have also lost their homes. The devastation has been so severe that even Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is facing harsh criticism for a lack of preparation.

President-elect Donald Trump has not missed the opportunity to point out blame, accusing the governor of California, Gavin Newsom, for the lack of prevention in the face of these natural disasters.

The Palisades Fire, which devastated homes from Malibu to Santa Monica, is only 8% contained so far. More than 30,000 residents have been evacuated, and the fire has consumed nearly 3,000 acres, reducing dozens of homes to rubble.
