Chappell Roan is becoming a real phenomenon. At 26, this American singer has gone from the shadows to the limelight in just a few months, having just given a monster concert at the Lollapalooza festival in front of probably the largest crowd ever seen on the site! At 14, the teenager had nevertheless tried the auditions for the show “America’s Got Talent” without success, and she is taking her revenge. After a few singles released in recent years including “Pink Pony Club” and “Femininomenon”, praised by pop fans and critics, Chappell Roan released her first album “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess” last September, surrounded by producer Dan Nigro (Olivia Rodrigo, Conan Gray…). It is an understatement to say that the album was acclaimed, rising to the top albums of the year rankings of influential media such as Vogue, Time, Nylon, Rolling Stone and Pitchfork.

A queer anthem at the top of the world!
Having built a nice fan base, Chappell Roan opened for Olivia Rodrigo’s “Guts World Tour”, putting a little more spotlight on his musical project. And to write ” his next chapter “, the artist released a new song called “Good Luck, Babe!” last April, which is currently exploding on the charts worldwide. Thanks to his concerts at Coachella and a performance on Jimmy Fallon’s “Tonight Show”, the track has seen its counter go crazy week by week, generating 7 million streams in one week before crossing the 100 million mark on Spotify in June. No other track has been so popular, so quickly! And that was just the beginning because this irresistible queer anthem already has a counter of 435 million streams on Spotify.
At the same time, her first album made it into the top 10 and then the top 5 on the Billboard 200 for the first time since its release, although “Good Luck, Babe!” is not on it! For two days now, the song has even been the most listened to on Spotify in the United States, but also in the United Kingdom and Ireland. As the success spreads around the world despite the absence of a video clip, it is even the fifth most popular track on the platform overall, doing well in Australia, Canada and Singapore. Listened to by nearly 37 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Chappell Roan is therefore at the head of a real hit, ranked in the top 10 of 15 countries on Apple Music, and in the top 10 of 12 countries on Shazam, proof of its virality. Attention fans, the singer will be in concert at the Bataclan in Paris on September 3 (but it’s sold out).
