    Katie Price’s iconic 2017 single I Got U has hit the charts eight years after it was released with fans rallying behind her during her ongoing feuds with her ex-husbands10:28, 01 Sep 2025Updated 10:53, 01 Sep 2025Katie Price’s music is having a revival(Image: Terry George/WireImage)Katie Price has achieved what many thought was impossible and has hit the No1 spot with her music. The 47-year-old has recently been drawn into very public feuds with her ex-husbands. Peter Andre released a bombshell statement about the care of their shared children, while Alex Reid posted a video in which she slated Peter’s kids with his wife Emily.But in a moment of happiness for the former glamour model, her 2017 track I Got U has climbed up the charts, reaching the top spot on the iTunes chart. Her song Hurricane also got to No6 there.She even beat the likes of Ed Sheeran, K-Pop Demon Hunters and Chappell Roan on Global’s Big Top 40 on Sunday, with I Got U reaching No3.It’s all come as a surprise for Katie, who has described it as a dream come true.But why is it happening now, eight years after I Got U was released?Why is Katie Price charting?Katie Price has had a number of attempts of making it as a pop star(Image: PA)In recent weeks, Katie has found herself at the centre of a number of public attacks from her ex-husbands.Die-hard fans have been showing their support for her on social media, with many looking back at her old reality shows with ex Peter Andre.Many feel she has been treated unfairly by the men in her life, so decided to support her music as a way to get back at them.Last week, fans started a campaign on TikTok to get Katie to No1.Katie’s fans are supporting her music as a way to get back at her ex-husbands(Image: WireImage)One person said they wanted to “remind Pete he was never the main character”, instructing other fans to stream, share and support Katie’s music.They went on: “All the exes in the world couldn’t dim her shine,” adding: “They played their games, she played it smart.
