The pop star earns her first chart-topping Billboard album
Multi-platinum pop sensation Tate McRae earns her first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart with So Close To What. The global pop star’s third studio album marks the biggest debut week for a studio album by a woman in five months.
Internationally, Tate garnered multiple career high debuts including No. 1 album in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, Switzerland, Portugal, Austria, No. 2 in UK, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, No. 3 Spain, No. 4 in France, and No. 5 in Finland.
So Close To What represents the insurmountable moments in life, where the road ahead at times can feel endless and the destination non-existent. Wrapped in irresistible pop production and unfiltered lyricism, it’s an introspective exploration of self-discovery, love, and nostalgia. The album and its songs navigate the raw emotions of healing an old heart and the hesitations that come with falling in love again, the beautiful and sometimes harsh realities of what it means to be a woman and embracing a newfound confidence. On So Close To What Tate worked alongside hitmakers Ryan Tedder, Grant Boutin, Amy Allen, Julia Michaels, and more.
The album features “Revolving Door” which is currently No. 13 on the Top 200 US Spotify chart, “Sports Car” which exploded on social media with over 4.7 million TikTok creations and is currently No. 12 at US pop radio, and the irresistible “It’s Ok I’m Ok” which hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart and earned the star her highest-debuting song of her career on the Billboard Hot 100.
