Junior Andre praises Katie Price as her eight year old song unexpectedly tops iTunes dance charts

Junior Andre has publicly praised his mum, Katie Price, after the former glamour model and reality TV star achieved a surprise musical comeback with songs she released years ago.

The 46-year-old star saw her 2017 dance track I Got U and her 2019 release Hurricane climb the iTunes dance charts, with I Got U hitting the number one spot. The resurgence came almost eight years after the song’s original debut, leaving Katie “speechless” at the unexpected success.

Junior, 19, who is carving out his own career in music, proudly shared the moment on social media. He posted a screenshot showing his mother ranked at numbers 1 and 6 on the charts, alongside big names like Chappell Roan and Ed Sheeran. “Number 1 and number 6, well done mum,” he wrote, adding heart emojis.

Katie quickly reposted her son’s message to her Instagram stories, alongside a flood of congratulations from fans and friends celebrating the achievement.

The revival of her old songs has been fuelled by social media. A resurfaced clip of Katie performing I Got U live on Loose Women has gone viral, sparking curiosity among younger audiences and sending streams surging.

Katie first released I Got U during her second attempt at a pop career, with the track originally peaking at number five in 2017. Now, the track has soared past its original success, taking her to the very top of the chart.

In a statement to The Mirror, Katie’s representative said: “Katie can’t believe the amount of support she’s had from the public! This shows what women supporting women can achieve and the power of social media.”

A source speaking to The Sun added: “This is a massive surprise for Kate. She’s always loved singing and this is a dream come true! She is having so much support from the public and can’t thank them enough for her latest entrance into the charts.”

Katie herself took to Instagram to express her gratitude directly to her fans. Sharing her disbelief, she wrote: “Thank you to everyone my dreams have come true. Well, for once I’m speechless! Thank you so much!”

The achievement is particularly meaningful as Katie’s music career has often been overshadowed by her television appearances, modelling work, and highly publicised personal life. While her first pop venture in the mid-2000s failed to make a lasting mark, she has always expressed her love for performing and recording.

For her son Junior, the moment is a reminder of their shared passion for music. He has already begun releasing his own songs, building a fanbase of his own, and often credits both Katie and his father, Peter Andre, for inspiring his career. His public praise of his mother highlights their close relationship and his pride in seeing her succeed.

The shock chart success also underscores the unpredictable power of online virality. With a single clip spreading across TikTok and Instagram, a track almost a decade old has suddenly been catapulted to the top of the charts, bringing Katie’s music back into the spotlight.

For Katie Price, the unexpected triumph has provided a rare moment of unfiltered joy. After years of being in the headlines for personal struggles and surgeries, this resurgence has put her back in the news for her music — and earned her the admiration of her son and thousands of fans who have rediscovered her songs
