Heidi Montag broke down in tears on Thursday in a new video shared to Instagram.
The reality TV star was overjoyed by all the people – including Paris Hilton and Emily Ratajkowski – who have been playing music from her album тιтled Superficial.
That has helped elevate the top tune I’ll Do It and the album to the number one spot on iTunes in the US.
All those streams have made the money flow in for the blonde beauty. Some sources say she can make as much as $1M at this pace.
iTunes typically pays artists around $0.70 per song download, so a large number of downloads at the #1 spot can add up quickly.
‘Thank you so much to everyone who has bought and streamed my music!’ Heidi said in her Instagram caption.
‘Thank you, thank you! Thank you for lifting us up in such a dark time. Being a light and a beacon of hope with all your support and love,’ she added.
The cash comes at a perfect time for Heidi and her husband Spencer Pratt as last week they lost their $2.5M Pacific Palisades home to the fires. They did not have insurance.

The couple have been panicking about how to rebuild and provide for their two young children: Gunner, six, and 13-month-old Ryker.
Among the stars who have streamed the song are Emily Ratajkowski, Jessie James Decker, Paris Hilton, Flavor Flav and Jenny McCarthy.
The public reaction has been immense as the two shared their disaster journey on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
Some have even called them the new queen and king of TikTok as Pratt has said, ‘Speidi is back.’
A new reality TV show may be on the horizon as well.
Last week, residents of the upmarket area of Los Angeles have been forced to flee their homes after ‘life-threatening’ winds saw a bushfire spread across thousands of acres.
This prompted the Governor of California to declare a State of Emergency. About 75% of the Pacific Palisades burned down.
Sadly, the reality stars’ home was among the victims of the devastating fire.
Spencer’s sister, Stephanie Pratt, took to her Instagram Stories to share a picture of her brother in his garden with the fire raging in the distance.

Despite their father’s best efforts to ‘save’ their home it could not be saved.
She wrote: ‘I am beyond heartbroken for my brother, Heidi and the kids.
‘Just spoke to my dad- he tried to save my brother’s house but the wind is so strong there was nothing he could do.’
Former Made In Chelsea star Stephanie admits she is ‘frozen in shock’ and ‘heartbroken’ for her ‘sweet little nephews’ after the flames tore through their family home.

To support Heidi, many people have been buying her new Superficial album. She is now number one on iTunes
The star’s own home is likely to have been damaged as well as she claimed the fires had reached her street, and Stephanie is contemplating whether to fly to Los Angeles from London to support Spencer, 41, and Heidi, 38, and the family.
Alongside a picture of the blaze, she wrote: ‘I don’t know if it’s a good thing I’m in London or I need to get back to LA. I can’t think straight. What do I do? Honestly looking for advice. I’m frozen in shock.
‘How horrible for my sweet little nephews to watch their house disappear like this. They must be so scared and confused. I guess the silver lining for me is if my house goes it’s only my stuff- not years of family memories like everyone else in the palisades. Help me what’s my next move.’
