Chappell Roan Achieves Top Chart Debut for the First Time
Chappell Roan Hits Top Spot on UK Charts Twice in 2025
Singer-songwriter Chappell Roan has made a significant mark on the UK music scene this year, achieving not one, but two UK Number 1 singles.
"Pink Pony Club," a standout track from her critically acclaimed 2023 album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, was the first of these chart-toppers. Released in September 2024, it reached the UK top five and remained there for several weeks.
The second UK Number 1 single for Chappell Roan came with "The Subway," which debuted at Number 1 on the UK Official Singles Chart in early August 2025. This dream-pop ballad rapidly rose to the top of the charts, securing the number-one spot officially by the chart week ending around August 8.
"The Subway" had a strong midweek chart lead of about 6,000 units before securing the Number 1 spot, according to official reports. It's worth noting that "The Subway" was released before "The Giver," another of Chappell Roan's top 10 hits that stalled at No. 2 on the Official Singles chart.
"The Subway" is Chappell Roan's seventh track to be charted on the Official Singles chart. It also ruled the Official Streaming chart, further cementing its success.
In addition to these Number 1 hits, Chappell Roan has had multiple other top-ten singles in the UK in 2025, totaling three top-ten entries including the two Number 1s.
"Pink Pony Club" was also a significant hit, becoming a global smash due to a high-profile performance at the 2025 Grammy Awards. It's worth mentioning that "The Subway" opened at No. 3 on the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads charts.
In summary, Chappell Roan's UK career highlights so far include at least two Number 1 singles in 2025, with "Pink Pony Club" as an earlier significant hit and "The Subway" as her second Number 1 single of that year. This success reinforces her growing UK popularity and chart dominance.
In the realm of entertainment and music, Chappell Roan's remarkable achievements in 2025 have contributed significantly to pop-culture.
