Tinashe Takes the Crown With Popstar, Her Biggest Debut Yet

Jon Berrien

Tinashe is having a major Popstar moment. The multi-platinum singer, songwriter, producer, and DJ just secured the highest-charting debut of her career, with the new album landing at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 after moving more than 35,500 copies in its first week.

But this is bigger than numbers. Popstar has quickly turned into a full-blown cultural moment, making noise across charts worldwide and putting Tinashe back at the center of the conversation. From the music to the energy surrounding the rollout, the project feels like another reminder that Tinashe doesn’t follow the wave—she creates her own.

And Tinashe isn’t stopping at the charts. This fall, the Popstar era officially hits the stage as she takes over Chicago on October 16, Brooklyn on October 24, and Los Angeles on November 7 for three highly anticipated headlining shows.

The demand is already crazy. Pre-sale tickets disappeared almost instantly, marking Tinashe’s fastest-selling pre-sale to date, while the general on-sale followed with another quick sellout. Now, fans are getting their first chance to experience Popstar live as Tinashe brings the album to the stage for the very first time.

Three cities. Three sold-out nights. One new era. Tinashe is taking Popstar to the people.
