Jesus Christ Superstar is a rock opera by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Introduced in 1970, it highlights the political and interpersonal struggles of Judas Iscariot and Jesus. The action largely follows the canonical gospels' accounts of the last weeks of Jesus' life, beginning with Jesus and his followers arriving in Jerusalem and ending with the Crucifixion. Twentieth-century attitude and sensibilities as well as contemporary slang pervade the lyrics, and ironic allusions to modern life are scattered throughout the political depiction of the events. Stage and film productions accordingly feature many intentional anachronisms.

A large part of the plot focuses on the character of Judas who is depicted as a conflicted, tragic figure who is not satisfied with what he views as Jesus's lack of planning, and alarmed by his relatively recent claims of his divinity.

"Superstar (Remember How You Got Where You Are)" is a 1971 hit single for the Gordy (Motown) label, recorded by The Temptations and produced by Norman Whitfield. Something of an early ancestor to the "diss songs" prevalent in hip hop music towards the end of the 20th century, "Superstar" is an attack at two former Temptations members, David Ruffin (who had been fired back in 1968) and his cohort Eddie Kendricks (who quit the act in early 1971 and negotiated a Motown solo deal).

"Superstar" was the second single from British R&B star Jamelia's second album Thank You. The song, released in the UK on September 15, 2003, was a sleeper hit, entering the UK Top 10 at #8 but as airplay, video play and the general awareness of the track increased, after a month on the UK Singles Chart, the track climbed to a peak of #3. "Superstar" became the 26th biggest selling single of 2003, the first appearance for Jamelia in the Official Chart of the Year. The single has been certified Silver in the UK by the BPI, spending 20 weeks on the UK Singles Chart, over double that of her previous biggest hit, "Money".

"Superstar" also saw worldwide chart success including a peak of #1 in Australia and New Zealand along with top 10 positions in over 15 other countries.

The track was originally released by Danish singer Christine Milton in Spring 2003.

"Superstar" was the thir single from Australian urban music star Jade MacRae from her debut album Jade MacRae.

The song went under a wave of promotion after the success of "So Hot Right Now", but a lack of radio support meant it failed to make much of an impact on the Australian ARIA charts, reaching No.31 and staying in the top 50 for only 2wks. (it fared slightly better on ARIA's "Urban" charts; peaking at No.12)

"Superstar" is the title song from the 1971 rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. It has a compelling melody married to a catchy rhythm, lending the song its efficacy.

It is sung by Judas Iscariot, and is of the form in which Judas questions why Jesus chose to arrive in the manner that he did and if what happened to him was really indeed part of a divine plan or not. It is thus somewhat accusatory in nature and not the anthem that some upon only casual listening take it to be. Nevertheless, along with "I Don't Know How to Love Him" it is the most well-known of this opera, musical, film, and other genre manifestations' song.

This "Superstar" is not to be confused with many other songs named "Superstar".

"Superstar", a song performed by Lupe Fiasco, is the first single off his 2007 album Lupe Fiasco's The Cool, which features Matthew Santos. iTunes released "Superstar" on September 25, 2007 along with a radio version of "Dumb It Down."
