Tinashe is poised to score a career milestone. According to Hits Daily Double, her new album ‘Popstar’ is projected to debut at number 9 on the Billboard 200, moving roughly 32,000 equivalent album units in its first week.
The debut would mark the singer’s first top 10 album, a significant achievement for an artist who has spent more than a decade building a devoted following. It would also surpass ‘Aquarius’, her 2014 debut studio album, as her highest-charting project to date.

For Tinashe, the projected placement is a testament to her staying power in an industry that has often moved quickly past artists of her generation. Known for her genre-blending approach to R&B and Pop, she has cultivated a loyal fan base that continues to show up for her releases.
Official first-week figures are expected to be confirmed when Billboard publishes its chart.
