The couple, known for their stint on 'The Hills', acknowledged the bittersweet milestone on social media. Pratt, who has been documenting their ordeal on TikTok, expressed gratitude for the outpouring of fan support.
“Best news I’ve had in a week – which isn’t saying much,” Pratt joked. “Thank you to everyone streaming Montag’s album. First time ever, top 50 on iTunes.”
Initially released 15 years ago, 'Superficial' was widely panned upon debut, with its second single failing to chart. Now, propelled by fans’ goodwill and viral momentum, the album has reached an unprecedented level of success. Within hours, Pratt celebrated its rise to Number 2 and rallied supporters to push it to the top spot.
“This is for the history books,” Pratt quipped. “My kids won’t know it’s because our house burned down, they’ll just think their mom was a pop superstar.”

In a series of TikTok videos, Pratt described his mental state as “crashing out” while grappling with the loss of their home. “I’ve been ‘faking it till you make it’ since 2007,” Pratt admitted. “Guess what? Faking it doesn’t make it—especially when everything burns down.”
The couple’s security cameras captured their home being consumed by flames.
