Heidi Montag is thanking fans for all their support in recent weeks with a surprise musical gift.
The Hills alum took to social media on Friday (Jan. 24) to announce that she released Superficial 2, the following-up to her 2010 album, Superficial. “SURPRISE! As a special thank you for all the love and support, and for making my dream of being a @billboard charting artist come true, here is SUPERFICIAL 2,” she wrote on X, adding that the new album has 12 new songs.
After Montag and her husband Spencer Pratt lost their home in the Pacific Palisades wildfire in Los Angeles, an outpouring of support drove Superficial and its songs to debuts across a number of Billboard’s charts (all dated Jan. 25) – including the Billboard 200, Top Album Sales, Top Dance Albums and Hot Dance/Pop Songs.
Montag also graced the Billboard Artist 100 chart for the first time, which ranks the most popular artists of the week.
Earlier in the day, the couple joined more than 20 property owners in suing the City of Los Angeles and the L.A. Department of Water and Power, claiming the city’s decision to “drain” a local reservoir left firefighters without enough water to fight the devastating Palisades Fire that destroyed their home. In the complaint, which was filed Tuesday (Jan. 21), Pratt, Montag and their co-plaintiffs accuse L.A.’s Department of Water and Power (LADWP) of making “the conscious decision to operate the water supply system with the reservoir drained and unusable as a ‘cost-saving’ measure,” leading hydrants in the Pacific Palisades to “fail…within a span of 12 hours” because the tanks that fed them were not replenished by water from the “empty” Santa Ynez Reservoir.
