Addison Rae Introduces Herself With Debut Album ‘Addison'
Addison Rae Getty Images for Coachella In just a few short years, Addison Rae has risen from budding TikTok star to pop music's newest 'it' girl. She made a splash on the Billboard Hot 100 last year with 'Diet Pepsi' and returned to the chart for her recent single 'Headphones On." That climb has culminated in Rae's self-titled debut album Addison, out now. Though she's only a few years into her career, Rae projects the confidence of an industry veteran on the album, as evidenced by most recent single 'Fame Is a Gun," proclaiming 'There's no mystery, I'm gonna make it, gonna go down in history / Don't ask too many questions, God gave me the permission / And when you shame me, it makes me want it more.' When reflecting on her journey and where she is now in a recent cover story with Elle, Rae explained that she's reached a place in her career where she's in control of what she does. 'I have the luxury now to say no to things I'm not interested in, or that don't feel like me or aren't reflective of who I am. It's still a job, at the end of the day. Everybody is trying to survive — I'm trying to survive and live here and do all these things that I love — but I definitely have become more intentional, because I do think saying no to things opens up a door for a much better yes,' she said. Still, she isn't resting on her laurels just as she's making her big debut in the pop world. 'What does that even mean, really, to be the pop girl? Let's see if the songs get more popular, then they can call me a pop girl," she mused to Variety. 'This is my shot. I've got to go big.'

Why Addison Rae Is 'Hesitant' to Share Videos of Her Personal Life Now Despite Rising to Fame on TikTok
Addison Rae opened up about why she's "hesitant" to share videos of her personal life after experiencing TikTok fame In an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1, she revealed why she can be "protective" about what footage is shared Addison Rae's debut album Addison is due Friday, June 6 Addison Rae has thoughts about sharing videos of her personal life after experiencing TikTok fame. In an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1 on Wednesday, June 4, the "Fame Is a Gun" artist opened up about how she can be "protective" about what footage is shared. "You know, I actually don't mind people experiencing me in a very honest and open way," Rae, 24, began. "Really, any space as long as it is right here. I will allow anyone in my space." She continued: "I actually don't even mind a camera when I know that the moments are intimate for the people that are experiencing it. I think when you start allowing people to see this footage or to see you in those spaces with zero — you have zero — there's not enough to communicate really." That's when Rae can find it "very one-dimensional." "To me, I definitely am a little bit more hesitant of that because I think people can so quickly turn things into a way that they weren't...." she said, noting that is when she becomes "protective." "Even for my past few music videos, we've had somebody filming the entirety of the day and getting the good moments, the bad moments, the diva moments, the silly moments, whatever it may be," said Rae, adding that after watching the footage back, she wasn't sure if she wanted to share it because "it is intimate and it is personal and it's in a way that I don't want to allow somebody else to spin it into something that it's not because I know what it is, and the people that are there know what it is." Ultimately, the "Headphones On" singer doesn't want to invite "an evil perspective." "I think sometimes people will do that, not even for any real reason other than the fact that they're jealous or because they're like, no, you look really happy in that. There's something deeper. There's something more," said Rae. is now available in the Apple App Store! Download it now for the most binge-worthy celeb content, exclusive video clips, astrology updates and more!

Addison Rae Says She Used to Get Paid $20 by Record Labels to Post TikTok Videos: ‘It Was Actually Really Sketch'
Addison Rae is on the verge of pop superstardom, but there was once a time when she was a rising TikTok star and a college student looking to get by. Rae joined The New York Times' Popcast on Friday (May 30), where she reflected on her time at Louisiana State when she was getting paid $20 via PayPal by record labels to post videos dancing to their artists' songs on TikTok. More from Billboard Addison Rae Says Charli XCX Is a 'Big Sister & Mentor for Me' Kneecap Announce Massive Wembley Arena Headline Show Drake & PARTYNEXTDOOR Announce '$ome $pecial $hows 4 U.K.' Tour Dates 'I actually remember getting little brand deals from labels paying me to post when I was in college,' the 24-year-old began. 'They jumped on that really fast. I was like, 'Oh, this is really interesting' — that the music industry was really leaning on it.' This appears to be circa 2019, when the platform was beginning to boom and before Rae dropped out of college. Co-host Jon Caramanica threw out a potential fee of 'hundreds of dollars,' but Rae revealed it was actually much lower. 'A hundred bucks?! I wish, it was probably like $20. I actually remember being like, 'Holy sh–, $20!'' Rae confirmed the payments were made via PayPal. 'It was actually really sketch,' she admitted. 'I was like: 'Did the $20 hit the PayPal yet?!'' Addison Rae is a trailblazer in the TikTok creator-to-singer pipeline. She's looking to capitalize on her momentum with the arrival of her anticipated self-titled debut album via Columbia Records on Friday. The 12-track project includes previously-released singles like Billboard Hot 100 hit 'Diet Pepsi,' 'Aquamarine,' 'Headphones On,' 'High Fashion' and 'Fame is a Gun.'

Addison Rae's Debut Album Tracklist Can Be Found on Billboards
June 6 can't come soon enough—and Addison Rae knows that, as it's the day her self-titled debut album drops. Tracks like 'Diet Pepsi,' 'Aquamarine,' and 'Headphones On' have soundtracked our lives until her full body of work is released to the rest of the world, and now, we have a peek at the rest of her song titles. The newly minted pop princess teased her album's track list in a simply iconic way, as shared by her official fan account on Instagram, @arhq. 'ok besties which song are we claiming???' arhq wrote alongside a carousel of billboards and wheatpasting that reveal Addison's track titles. The billboards, which are stylized in the same graphic as her official Y2K-inspired album cover, are plastered in cities like New York, London, and Tokyo. They're also displayed on mobile trucks and in shopping malls (which, for the record, is so Addison). It's unclear whether the tracks are presented in the exact order that they'll appear on the album, but their titles are as follows: Addison's fans (aka Sunraes) took to the post's comments section to share some love on the upcoming release. Some even pointed out that she's seemingly self-referencing her 'Headphones On' lyrics on another track, 'Life's No Fun Through Clear Waters.' 'But also referencing your own song in another song title is soooooooo chic,' one fan wrote while another added, 'I feel like 'ife's no fun through clear waters' is like the lead up to 'headphones on.'' It's important to note that while @arhq's post shares 11 song titles, Addison shared that the project would have 12 tracks per the official album description on her merch store. So... that means we can likely still anticipate one more song title. The artist has also been teasing an untitled track across social media, and Sunraes are already hungry for more: Could this be the mystery link to tie it all together? Only time will tell...

Addison Rae's Perfect Winning Streak Continues
Addison Rae has spent years as one of the most famous people on social media. She changed what TikTokers could do after becoming a superstar on the app, as she expanded her reach into film and music, with her celebrity growing so significantly that she could seemingly do anything she wanted. As she heads toward the release of her debut album, Addison, yet another track from the project has become a sizable hit in the United Kingdom. 'Headphones On' is Rae's latest single from her forthcoming full-length. The tune is a quick win in the U.K. this frame, becoming a success on both consumption- and performance-based rankings. The composition opens at No. 24 on the Official Singles chart, which is compiled based on streaming and sales activity to paint a picture of overall consumption, and that's where Rae's tune performs best. The influencer's latest cut also played well enough to reach the Official Streaming chart, coming in at No. 45 and just missing out on becoming a top 40 success on that list. It also barely breaks onto the Official Singles Downloads roster, selling what must have been a fairly small sum — just enough to become a winner on that tally. It opens at No. 98, coming in third to last on the 100-spot roster. All four of the singles Rae has released from Addison have reached the Official Singles chart. Her winning streak continues with what has turned out to be her second-highest-rising hit. 'Headphones On' follows only lead cut 'Diet Pepsi,' which climbed higher and broke into the top 10, peaking at No. 10. Follow-ups 'Aquamarine' and 'High Fashion' stalled at Nos. 45 and 69, respectively. 'Headphones On' is one of three songs by Rae to reach both the Official Streaming and Official Singles Downloads charts. It's now her second-highest-rising win on the streaming-only tally, but it still ranks as her lowest placement ever on the list of the top-selling tunes on platforms like iTunes, though just barely. It comes in one spot beneath the No. 97 peak of 'Aquamarine.' All four singles are featured on Addison, which will drop on June 6. The dance-pop project is one of the most highly anticipated of 2025, and based on the performance of the songs that have already been shared, it could become the commercial breakthrough for the TikTok powerhouse.
