The Chicago setlist draws heavily from Popstar, with tracks including “Popstar,” “Melatonin,” “Crash Out,” “Too Easy,” “Sunglasses,” “Empty Stadiums” and “I’d Rather Be Alone.” The new material sits alongside songs from across her catalog.

Released through Nice Life, Atlantic Records and Tinashe Music, Popstar contains 16 tracks blending pop, R&B, electronic music and dance influences. Its production credits include Ricky Reed, Zach Sekoff, Arca, Machinedrum and Kingdom, reflecting her continued interest in combining club-oriented sounds with more experimental textures.
The project also delivered a significant commercial milestone. Popstar debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 with 35,500 equivalent album units, surpassing the No. 17 peak previously achieved by her 2014 debut, Aquarius.
