Popestar is an EP by the Swedish heavy metal band Ghost. It consists mainly of covers and was produced by Tom Dalgety. The EP was released on September 16, 2016, by Loma Vista Recordings. The band began the Popestar Tour of North America following its release.
Popestar consists almost entirely of covers. Ghost chose unexpected songs that differed from their own musical style.
The only original track on the EP, "Square Hammer", was conceived at the end of the sessions for the band's Meliora album. Because the concept of the album was already in place and the song had a different feeling, the band decided not to include it on the album. "Square Hammer" was released as a single on September 12, 2016, prior to the EP.
Popestar debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Rock Albums chart, becoming the first EP to reach the chart's top position. It sold 21,000 copies in its first week.
