Where this album fits

Career context
In 2009, RuPaul released 'Champion' as his fifth studio album, following the commercial success of 'Red Hot' in 2004. This album marked a significant resurgence in his career, coinciding with the growing popularity of drag culture and the anticipation of 'RuPaul's Drag Race', which premiered later that year. 'Champion' showcased RuPaul's ability to blend catchy melodies with empowering messages just as he was becoming a household name.
