Country artist Chappell Roan lands her initial chart-topping single with an unforeseen hit.
Chatting with Chappell Roan these days, she's riding a wave of success with two singles. Yet, only one has truly grabbed the spotlight in her native land. "The Giver" made a splash on several Billboard charts, but its momentum is slowing, making a disappearing act seem imminent on the radio.
On the flip side, "Pink Pony Club" - a track from her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess – is still gaining steam. The aged tune has catapulted Roan to an all-time high on one radio tally, growing into a surprising airplay hit.
Pink Pony Club Hits Number One
"Pink Pony Club"charges from No. 3 to No. 1 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart. This secures Roan her inaugural No. 1 spot on Billboard’s ranking of the compositions that rack up the greatest total audience impressions across U.S. radio stations that cater to a more mature side of pop.
Throughout her career, Roan has sent 34 songs to the Adult Pop Airplay chart. Before "Pink Pony Club" came along, only one of them, "Good Luck, Babe!," had cracked the top 10. That track stalled at No. 9 in September 2024. Her other hits, "Hot To Go!" (No. 11) and "The Giver" (No. 32), never quite managed to breach that uppermost tier.
Pink Pony Club on the Pop Radio Charts
"Pink Pony Club" now occupies a coveted spot on all three pop radio charts. It holds at No. 2 on the general Pop Airplay list, after briefly leading the pack. Simultaneously, it moves up one spot on the Adult Contemporary charts, notching a new high of No. 17.

Pink Pony Club: A Hit Half a Decade Later
While "The Giver" was released earlier in 2025, "Pink Pony Club" dates back half a decade. The song was initially shared by Roan before she garnered a sizable fanbase or landed a breakout hit. Albeit included on The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, "Pink Pony Club" never earned true single status until Roan won the Grammy for Best New Artist. At the ceremony, she performed the cut, turning it into a viral sensation overnight.
True commercial success swiftly ensued. A massive surge in sales and streams followed, leading to the track's promotion to radio, where it found a solid footing and became one of the pop superstar's most successful releases.
Interestingly, "Pink Pony Club" was originally released around April 27, 2018, yet it gained more popularity through subsequent versions and renditions. A remix by The Chainsmokers in 2025 gained attention, further boosting the song's appeal. Its enduring impact is also reflected in performances on shows like "The Voice" and in creative reinterpretations available online. A one-day choir event in Brooklyn, NY, scheduled for May 24, 2025, underscores the ongoing interest and engagement in the song.
