Now recognized around the world as the Queen of Drag, RuPaul has for years, been an undeniable force in entertainment. While his award-winning, hit show, "RuPaul's Drag Race, " has become a worldwidephenomenon, it was RuPaul's debut album, "Supermodel of the World", that first took him from NYC club icon to household name. Released by Tommy Boy in 1993, "Supermodel of the World, " became an instant success thanks in part to lead single, "Supermodel (You Better Work)." Peaking at #45 on the Billboard Hot 100 and going on to receive Gold Certification by the RIAA, the songs official video also landed in heavy rotation on MTV, helping to propel a much-needed change to the mainstream, which at this time was dominated by Grunge, Gangsta Rap and Rock.

Aside from the success of, "Supermodel (You Better Work), " the album went on to receive massive acclaim and helped to prove RuPaul to be far more than cover artist or ballroom performer.
