Supermodel of the World is the debut studio album by American singer and drag queen RuPaul, released on June 8, 1993, by Tommy Boy Records.
The album's first single, "Supermodel (You Better Work)", was a huge club and dance hit that peaked at number 45 on the Billboard Hot 100 and achieved Gold sales status.
Robert Christgau wrote in his "Consumer Guide" column for The Village Voice: "I know it wouldn't be an authentic disco album without filler, but this self-creation is too blandly male a singer to put over pro forma romance.
"[6] Alex Henderson from AllMusic wrote in retrospect: "A colorful transvestite and icon of African-American gay culture whose outrageous sense of humor never seems to let up, RuPaul could arguably be described as 'The Little Richard of '90s Dance Music.'
Boasting a decent vocal range and a strong passion for '70s disco/soul, RuPaul is a bona fide dance/house music artist whose debut album, Supermodel proved him to be a definite asset to '90s house and R&B.
