Adore Delano Makes Drag Race Herstory on the Billboard 200

When Adore Delano said she wanted to go "mainstream", she wasn't joking! According to the Neilsen SoundScan, her debut album 'Till Death Do Us Party' had the biggest sales week of any RuPaul's Drag Race competitor to date, with 5,000 copies sold. Willam held the record previously with 3,000 copies for 'Boy Is A Bottom' 

'Till Death Do Us Party' debuted at #3 on the Dance/Electronic Albums chart and #59 on the Billboard 200, and her first 2 music videos (DTF & I Adore U) already have nearly a million views combined. With a 3rd music video in the works, Adore is anything but slowing down.
