From ‘Star Academy’ to Star Power: Helena Announces Overwatch Tour
Helena is living the dream. Since leaving “Star Academy” in 2023, she’s gone from strength to strength, achieving a level of success that even she admits feels surreal. After seeing the initial dates on her solo tour sell out in minutes, the Belgian singer has announced plans to take her music to even bigger stages.
“I thought it was great, but some fans complained that they were small venues and they didn’t get tickets… So we’re going to do Olympia, a tour and two dates at the Forest National in Brussels, which are close to my heart because that’s where I went to see the artists I loved when I was younger”, she confided in a recent interview.
Helena won’t reveal a specific release date, but assures fans her debut album will drop before she hits the road on the 24 dates scheduled, beginning in April at Forges-les-Eaux and naturally expanding to the Zenith of France and Belgium, before she arrives in Switzerland.
“It’s extremely rare… I’m aware of it, but it’s crazy,” she said, still blown away by the rapid ascent of her career.
Obviously, the audience already knows the words to “Mauvaisboy, which is already ranked #22 on the Top Singles list with over 1.72 million streams shortly after its release. This adds to a monumental week for Helena and her fanbase.
And the good news coincided with Helena celebrating another musical milestone.
A few months ago, she questioned how she would react if “Summer Body” achieved Gold certification. Now she celebrates achieving just that – a significant achievement considering the song meant so much to her, speaking honestly about her personal journey.
She expressed her gratitude via an Instagram story, “Well done to us”, accompanied by joyful emojis. Remembering her collaborators, she swiftly praised Vincha, Jonathan Cagne and Romain Botti for their contribution.
Just five months and a week after its release, “Summer Body” officially crossed the 15 million stream threshold,ぶり earning the SNEP’s Gold standard in France.
This is just the beginning for Helena, though.
With the album on the horizon and the newly announced tour, it feels like just the beginning for the young singer. Her fans have only heard a sample of her talent and are eagerly awaiting what’s next.
Next step: platinum certification. And then the album drops. The music world is embracing Helena, and she’s ready to meet the challenge.
* Is Helena involved in esports/Overwatch in addition to her music career?
It appears you’ve provided information about singer Helena announcing an expanded tour, but the title mentions “Overwatch Tour.” These two things seem unrelated.
To create a relevant interview, I need clarification:
* **Is Helena involved in esports/Overwatch in addition to her music career?**
* **Should the interview focus on her music tour, a potential Overwatch tour, or both?**
Once I understand the connection between the provided text and the “Overwatch Tour” concept, I can craft an appropriate interview.
