Reneé Rapp has gone from an exciting, talented newcomer in several entertainment fields to a certified superstar in just a few years. The singer and actress first made herself known in the TV series The Sex Lives of College Girls before starring as Regina George in the musical film adaptation of Mean Girls.

In between projects, Rapp has managed a music career, which has taken off spectacularly. Her fanbase is global, but in the United Kingdom, it seems especially strong, as that’s where her new album Bite Me earns its most impressive starting points.

Bite Me Launches at No. 1 on Several Charts

Bite Me opens on six tallies in the U.K. this week, and it leads many of them. Rapp debuts her sophomore full-length at No. 1 on the Official Albums chart, the ranking of the most consumed projects in the country. The title also begins its time in first place on the Official Album Sales, Official Physical Albums, and Official Vinyl Albums rankings.

Reneé Rapp Reaches the Top 10

Bite Me is a top 10 win on every tally on which it appears in the U.K. at the moment. As it leads four lists, it also launches in fifth place on the Official Album Downloads chart and at No. 10 on the ranking of the most streamed collections.

Bite Me Follows Snow Angel

Bite Me arrives almost exactly two years after Snow Angel, her debut full-length. That project was also a top 10 success in the U.K., as it stalled at No. 7 on the main ranking of the biggest titles.

“Leave Me Alone” Introduced Bite Me

Bite Me was fronted by several singles which arrived before the album dropped in full, with “Leave Me Alone” kicking things off and introducing the new rock sound the set was centered around. That tune reached No. 69 on the main songs tally in the U.K., earning Rapp only her second appearance on the list.

She also made the 100-spot roster that measures the most consumed songs in the U.K. with “Not My Fault,” a collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion, which was created specifically for Mean Girls.
