Tate McRae‘s So Close to What, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 upon its original release in March, is getting the deluxe treatment. A version of the album with additional tracks is coming in two weeks, McRae said in an announcement on Saturday (Nov. 8).

“SO CLOSE TO WHAT??? (deluxe) is out november 21 !!!!! we had a few more songs that i wanted to share with y’all to close out the SC2W era. i can’t wait for you to hear,” she wrote on Instagram.


McRae shared a link to pre-save or pre-order So Close to What (The Deluxe Album). The release will be available on Spotify and Apple Music, and as a physical release on both CD ($11.98) and vinyl ($39.98) via her webstore.

As of Sunday night the number of new tracks, and their titles, have not yet been revealed. Also as of Sunday, it’s a wrap for McRae’s Miss Possessive Tour, which kicked off in March and ended at the Kia Forum Inglewood, Calif., on Saturday; she shared a series of behind-the-scenes snapshots from the day.

She most recently released the stand-alone single “Tit for Tat” — which was not on the So Close to What tracklist — in September, after teasing it on tour. The track, thought to be inspired by her breakup with follow pop hitmaker The Kid LAROI, became her third top five hit on the Hot 100. Her first two top five hits were “Greedy” in 2024 and “What I Want,” her collaboration with Morgan Wallen, which went to No. 1 earlier this year.

Intro

Billboard Canada 2025 Power Players List Revealed

By Richard Trapunski, Rosie Long Decter, Peony Hirwani, Stefano Rebuli and Heather Taylor-Singh

Billboard Canada Power Players is back for a second year, and it comes at a pivotal time for Canadian music. Canadian Content regulations – a principle that built the domestic industry – are up for review for the first time in a generation, with ongoing hearings taking place with the CRTC. The Online Streaming Act, meanwhile, is attempting to regulate major foreign streaming services to contribute to CanCon as the CRTC once did for radio, but companies like Spotify, Amazon and Apple Music aren't taking it without a fight.

Those issues shadow the industry, which has both struggles and successes. The country was recently named the 8th largest music market in the world by the IFPI and Toronto has emerged as a marquee live music market. That's been reflected in the successes and investments in new venues by companies like Live Nation Canada, MLSE and Oak View Group, though some festivals and promoters outside of their orbit have gone public with their own struggles.
