Chappell Roan’s Brand New No. 1 Single

After breaking into the mainstream and becoming one of the hottest new names in pop music, Chappell Roan switched things up in early 2025. The world has been eager for new music from the Grammy-winning superstar, and for months, all she’s been promoting is “The Giver,” which has divided listeners. The track sounds nothing like the tunes that turned her into a global powerhouse, as it moved Roan into country-pop territory.

“The Giver” returns to several charts in the United Kingdom this week and debuts on a pair of tallies at the same time, after the vinyl edition of the single finally shipped to fans.

“The Giver” Returns and Debuts

“The Giver” opens at No. 1 on the Official Vinyl Singles chart, which ranks the bestselling individual tracks on that format in the U.K. As the track launches, Roan earns her third No. 1 on the list, as her country-leaning cut joins “Good Luck, Babe!” and “Pink Pony Club,” both of which also reached the top spot.

Roan has only sent three tracks to the Official Vinyl Singles chart throughout her career, and all of them have hit No. 1. That means her track record on the roster remains unbroken.

Chappell Roan Debuts at No. 2 Elsewhere

While “The Giver” rules the Official Vinyl Singles chart, it misses out on opening in the same spot on the Official Physical Singles tally. On that ranking, Roan starts the tune at No. 2. She also reappears in the same position on the Official Singles Sales list, which is not limited to any one format. “The Giver” has already spent 10 weeks on that roster, and previously stalled in the runner-up spot when it was brand new and only available digitally.

“The Giver” Just Misses the Top 40

“The Giver” also originally missed out on becoming a champion on the Official Singles chart by just one space, when it was brand new and it peaked at No. 2. Though the tune returns to that roster, it doesn’t appear in as lofty a position as on sales-focused lists. Roan narrowly fails to send “The Giver” back into the top 40, as it reenters the all-consumption ranking at No. 43.

Chappell Roan’s Latest Remains a Standalone Hit

For the moment, “The Giver” is a standalone single, just like “Good Luck, Babe!” which helped catapult her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess to great commercial success — even though the tune isn’t featured on that full-length. Anticipation for Roan’s sophomore project is high, though the singer-songwriter hasn’t given any real signs that she’s ready to deliver an album. So, for now, “The Giver” must exist on its own as a bestseller.
