“The Hills” Star Heidi Montag’s Bad Pop Records from 15 Years Ago Resurrected Thanks to the Wildfires

I have never understood who Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are. Years ago I thought they’d disappear, and eventually they did.

Now, sadly, their house in Pacific Palisades has burned down. To generate income, I guess they’ve been encouraging their fans (they hae fans!) to download Montag’s 2009-10 pop records. (Who knew?)

And so, the fans have spoken They’ve sent Montag’s 2010 album, the aptly named “Superficial,” to the top of the iTunes chart. The title single and another track have zoomed up the singles chart. A release marked January 3, 2025 is also selling.

It’s not music, it’s garbage. It’s forgettable disco that sounds like it was frapped in a Cuisinart. This couple is obviously good at marketing. They lost their house — it’s very sad — but they can make money off of it. It’s better than just doing a GoFundMe page, but please don’t listen. There’s so much good music in the world.

PS Who are they? They’re from the 2000s “reality” show called “The Hills.” I never watched it. It was scripted, like most “reality” TV. It was made for people who’d just received lobotomies.

How much money can she make from Spotify? Probably not enough to rebuild a shed.
