Chappell Roan is responsible for some of the biggest hits of the past two years all around the planet. The singer-songwriter spent years trying to build her fanbase as an indie pop act, and it wasn’t until “Good Luck, Babe!” broke on the global stage that she reached charts all around the world. After that win, she scored smash after smash, and she still ranks as one of the most exciting new talents in the music industry.

Roan recently delivered “The Subway,” her latest single, which instantly becomes a huge win pretty much everywhere. In the United Kingdom, the track debuts inside the loftiest spaces on several tallies, and it even helps the Grammy winner score her first No. 1 on one list.

“The Subway” Earns Chappell Roan Her First Streaming No. 1

“The Subway” launches at No. 1 on the Official Streaming chart, which ranks the most-played tracks in the U.K. on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. Roan had previously come close to the summit on the competitive roster, but until now, she’d never managed to conquer it.

Chappell Roan’s Fourth Top 10

Roan scores her fourth top 10 on the Official Streaming chart as “Subway” debuts. Previous giant wins “Good Luck, Babe!” and “Pink Pony Club” missed the mark by just a single spot as they stalled in the runner-up rung, while “The Giver,” which dropped this past spring, rose to No. 4. “Red Wine Supernova” and “Casual” didn’t come close to the loftiest arena, but did add to her list of streaming successes.

“The Subway” Opens at No. 1 on the Singles Chart

In addition to leading the Official Streaming chart, “The Subway” also opens in first place on the Official Singles chart, which is built using a general consumption methodology. Streaming activity plays a big role in where a title lands, as do pure purchases.

The new cut performed very well when it comes to the latter consumption metric, and it begins its time at No. 3 on both the Official Single Sales and Official Singles Downloads charts. On those two lists, Roan collects her fourth top 10s and fifth overall placements.

“Pink Pony Club” and “Good Luck, Babe!”

Roan fills a trio of spots on the Official Streaming chart this frame. Following “The Subway” are “Pink Pony Club,” which holds at No. 10, and “Good Luck, Babe!,” which returns to the top 40, climbing from No. 41 to No. 32. Her breakout album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, also surges on the Official Albums Streaming chart, jumping from No. 28 to No. 14.
