Addison Rae’s Debut Album Misses No. 1 By Just One Space

When TikTok superstar Addison Rae first began releasing music several years ago, her handful of tunes didn’t make much of a commercial impact. Few took the social media powerhouse seriously, but she didn’t quit. For months now, the celebrity has been promoting her album Addison, her first full-length, with a slew of singles. The self-titled project debuts on charts all around the world this week, and as it arrives, it’s clear there was significant demand for new music from her, as the title earns a lofty starting point — especially on the charts in the United Kingdom.

Addison Debuts Inside the Top Five

Addison launches on half a dozen albums rankings in the U.K. this week, opening inside the top five on all but one of them. It performed surprisingly well when it comes to both streaming activity and pure purchases. In every instance, Rae scores her first appearance on the albums lists, as Addison marks her first proper musical release – and she hits big on her first try.

Addison Rae Narrowly Misses the Top Spot

Addison launches highest on the Official Albums chart, the main ranking of the most consumed projects in the country. On that tally, the pop set kicks off its time at No. 2. Rae is beaten to the top only by British band Pulp, which scores a new No. 1 with the simply-named More.

Addison Rae’s Album is a Big Win Across the Charts

Rae’s self-titled full-length opens in third place on three other rankings in the U.K.: the Official Albums Sales, Official Physical Albums, and Official Vinyl Albums charts. Addison is also new to the Official Albums Streaming ranking at No. 4, as it begins its time inside the top 10 on almost every list it reaches this frame.

Addison Rae’s First Album Isn’t a Huge Download Winner

Addison only fails to begin its time inside the top 10 on one of the half-dozen tallies on which it debuts this week, as the set launches at No. 20 on the Official Album Downloads chart. It seems that while Addison sold well enough to become a top five win across a number of rosters, it didn’t perform quite well enough on platforms like iTunes and other download storefronts to rank among the 10 bestselling.

Four Songs From Addison Are Also Charting

Four songs from Addison are charting in the U.K. at the moment. Current single “Fame Is a Gun” rises on both tallies on which it debuted just last week, reaching new high points as it ascends. Meanwhile, album cut “New York” opens at No. 61 on the Official Singles chart, landing not far behind previous focus track “Headphones” at No. 44.
