Popstars is the debut and only studio album by American musical group Eden's Crush, released in the United States by London-Sire Records and 143 Records on May 1, 2001. "Get Over Yourself" was its first single, followed by the album and group's last single "Love This Way". The album was executive produced by David Foster.
The album debuted at number six on the US Billboard 200 selling 99,000 copies. "Get Over Yourself" had been released in March 2001 and was a top ten hit in the United States and went to number one in Canada. Popstars received only moderate promotion due to financial restraints from the group's label, which was heading towards bankruptcy. Due to this, album sales were less than anticipated. Popstars did, however, go on to sell 500,000 copies in the United States, receiving a gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In Canada, Popstars peaked at number 17 and failed to match the success in the United States. The album was also released in Australia, United Kingdom, Japan and Brazil. The album is no longer in print and is unavailable on streaming services, such as Spotify and Apple Music.
Eden's Crush recorded the album from November 2000 through February 2001. The album had to be recorded quickly in order to fit into the timing of the television show Popstars. David Foster, who was the lead producer for the album, assembled the team of producers, songwriters, sound engineers and musicians to work on the album.[1]

Unknown to the public and the group (to a certain point), the group's label was going bankrupt and did not have the financial means to promote the album past August 2001.
