🎶 Chappell Roan is on fire! Her latest hit, “The Subway,” has just rocketed to the top of the UK singles chart. At 27, this marks her second time at number one, following her surprise hit “Pink Pony Club” just a few months ago. Not only that, but her track “The Giver” also made waves, peaking at number two.
Roan, real name Kayleigh Amstutz, honours her granddad with the stage name Chappell Roan, blending his surname with a favourite tune of his. Known for her vibrant, drag-inspired outfits—think Statue of Liberty or glittering ringmaster—she’s nothing short of a stage sensation.
Earlier this year, Roan dazzled at the Grammy Awards with “Pink Pony Club,” winning best new artist. She also snagged two Brit Awards for international artist and song of the year with “Good Luck, Babe!”
This summer, she’s been making the festival rounds and is all set to headline Reading and Leeds festivals come the Bank Holiday weekend. Talk about staying busy!
In chart news, last week’s leader, “Golden,” from the animated flick KPop Demon Hunters, now stands at number two, with Justin Bieber’s “Daisies” close behind.
And in the albums scene, Renee Rapp claims her first UK number one with “Bite Me,” while Oasis reunites at album number two with “Time Flies… 1994-2009.”
What a time for music lovers! 🎤✨
