After the devastating California wildfires claimed their homes, Heidi Montag and Leighton Meester are experiencing unexpected support from fans, with their music climbing the iTunes charts. This surge is a testament to the power of social media and fan dedication, transforming tragic circumstances into a digital renaissance for both artists.

Montag’s 2010 album Superficial and Meester’s 2014 Heartstrings are enjoying newfound attention, with their music going viral in a way that echoes past efforts to revive underappreciated albums.

Heidi Montag, once a reality TV star, is no stranger to the spotlight, having famously released Superficial a decade ago with little success. However, in the years since, the album has gathered a loyal following, especially after the song “I’ll Do It” became a TikTok sensation in 2023.

Montag and her husband, Spencer Pratt, have used the power of social media to turn their recent misfortune into an opportunity for a comeback. The couple was proactive, releasing an anniversary edition of the album just days before the fire ravaged their home. This new edition, complete with remixes and bonus tracks, has led Superficial to top the iTunes charts.

Similarly, Leighton Meester, known for her role as Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl, is receiving a boost thanks to her 2014 album Heartstrings. Following the tragic loss of her home in the Pacific Palisades fire, fans rallied around Meester’s music.

The album, which features deeply personal songwriting, has long been considered underrated. Meester’s move from acting to music with Heartstrings was a significant one, as she crafted all of the songs herself. The album, originally released with little fanfare, has now become a symbol of resilience as it climbs the iTunes charts.

TikTok has played a pivotal role in reviving both artists’ music. In a recent video, rapper Flavor Flav shared his support for Meester, encouraging his followers to stream her music and use it in their TikToks. This type of grassroots digital activism has helped revive Heartstrings, bringing attention to the album’s soulful and introspective tracks. “Somebody to Love,” a collaboration with Robin Thicke, and “Your Love’s a Drug” are among the singles gaining significant traction, with fans expressing their admiration for Meester’s artistic depth.

The combined efforts to help Montag and Meester have also led to a broader conversation about the power of social media in supporting artists. As these albums resurface, they provide a sense of community and healing for both the artists and their fans, who are using digital platforms not only to support their musical favorites but also to aid in their recovery.

For Montag and Meester, what started as a heartbreaking loss has become an opportunity for their music to reach new heights. Both women are seeing their once-overlooked albums re-enter the public consciousness, proving that music—and the support of dedicated fans—can offer solace even in the most challenging times.
