Throughout her relatively short music career, Addison Rae has only released a handful of singles. The TikTok star appears poised for a sizable debut on a number of charts with her just-released self-titled full-length, which is expected to arrive on rankings everywhere soon.
In the United Kingdom, where she has already racked up a number of wins, three of her singles have managed to chart, and each takes a different path to landing on various tallies.
This week, Rae earns a new victory as 'Fame Is a Gun,' the fifth official single from Addison, debuts at No. 27 on the Official Singles chart. The new track becomes yet another top 40 success for the social media superstar right out of the gate, and just before that self-titled full-length debuts as well.
While pure purchases surely contributed to the tune's quick adoption, it seems that streaming platforms carried most of the weight. 'Fame Is a Gun' manages to land on only one other ranking in the U.K. at the moment, as it hits the Official Streaming chart, opening at No. 61.
'Fame Is a Gun' marks Rae's fifth hit on the Official Singles chart. Each of the tunes released from Addison prior to the album's arrival have spent at least one frame on the list. However, only four of her songs have reached the Official Streaming chart.
Rae currently fills two spots on the Official Singles chart. Her previous release, 'Headphones On,' also from Addison, lifts slightly this week. The cut steps up from No. 67 to No. 65 in its seventh frame on the tally. The track previously peaked at No. 24 and stands as her second-highest-charting hit on the all-encompassing list of the most consumed songs in the U.K.
The promotional campaign around Addison began last summer when the budding singer dropped 'Diet Pepsi.' That track became a breakout success for her in many respects, granting Rae her debut top 10 win on the main singles tally across the Atlantic.
Perhaps buoyed by the excitement surrounding the album's release, 'Diet Pepsi' returns to the Official Physical Singles chart this week. The song reenters at No. 39, becoming a top 40 bestseller again. In the past, the track has risen as high as No. 3.
