I can't believe this queen doesn't have a thread here yet (tbf like 90% of her fans are in the Discord server...), let's fix that!
Now that she's finally seeing the success she deserves, let me introduce some of you to Chappell Roan; queer, camp and talented as [expletive], she released her first studio album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, on September 22nd, 2023 to critical acclaim across the board, with standout songs including the singles "Pink Pony Club", "HOT TO GO!", "Casual" and "Red Wine Supernova".
Six months later Chappell dropped "Good Luck, Babe!", a self-described "first song of the next chapter", and it immediately shot up the Spotify charts, rising to a peak of #5 on the daily US chart, with other songs at #41, #94 and #130 (prior to Taylor laying waste to the music industry).
Discuss her music, stan her vocals or explain how she made you realise you were a lesbian right here!

Where is that unhinged clip where she looks at the camera and tells her ex "I know you're watching"

It took me six months to listen to the album and now I can’t stop. It’s actually been life changing for me, and clearly for her too.

I'm surprised that Good Luck, Babe! hasn't been tacked onto the album yet. It could help the album crack the top 10 sooner.

I too finally listened to the album last week after I heard raves about her show here in Cleveland and fell deeply in love. CDs and vinyl are out of stock on Amazon and drying up at most other online retailers but I'm glad to have snagged a CD from DeepDiscount and it should be here later this week. EDIT: It's out for delivery today!

"Red Wine Supernova" is #1 on Bubbling Under so that streaming is probably helping with the BB200 placement.

I finally checked out her album and I loved it. I’m kinda angry at myself for being late to the party on Chappell Roan. Her album might be my favorite one I’ve listened to all year, surpassing all of the albums dropped this year. I’m glad I got to see her live last week because that is what really got me to check out this album.
There’s so many great songs on here including Femininominom, Red Wine Supernova, After Midnight, Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl, HOT TO GO, My Kink Is Karma, Pink Pony Club, Naked In Manhattan.
I stan this girl now and I hope after ‘Good Luck, Babe’ does its thing, they try to push some songs from this album because it is too good to not smash.
Edit: I just ordered this on vinyl 🥰

I feel like we’re watching the beginning of a superstar: https://www.instagram.com/p/C8BMO6FOsiE This is crazy to see because I saw her in a much more intimate venue a little over a week ago with only a tiny fraction of this crowd size.

I need to give her album a listen She is in Raleigh tomorrow night, and I have been seeing a lot of chatter about her online. I might as well hop on this bandwagon. I will report back.

She was meant to play at a tent for Bonnaroo but they wisely upgraded her to a main stage — goes to show how fast her rise has been!

She’s really blowing up! I can’t escape her on my timelines (not that I want to!) Glad I got to see her in an intimate venue in December. She has such a powerful confidence, a fun upbeat energy and an excellent voice (when she’s not jumping around too much).

All without "Good Luck, Babe!" on the album too! I wonder what the plan was with that. Is GLB just a stand alone single not meant to be attached to any project? Will they eventually tack it onto "Midwest Princess"? Is it meant to introduce a new upcoming album?

She also performed a new song called ‘Subway’ at Bonnaroo yesterday. Said she didn’t know when it’s coming out.

I assumed that GLB was going to launch a new project or was maybe just a single in the interim, but it took off. I think they need to add it to the album with another song or two.

I say add it to the album. HTG and RWS are both growing on streaming and her album is performing really well now. They need to go back to the album and push one or both of those songs once GLB peaks. Chappell Roan is on her way to having her Lizzo moment this summer.

I'd buy the hell out of a deluxe version of the album that includes GLB! and a few new tracks, depsite just getting the album on CD a few weeks ago. Strike while the iron is HOT (TO GO)!

I listened to the album 3 times in the last 24 hours and it's soooooooooooooooo good! She also doesn't seem derivative of anyone (at least anyone mainstream?). It seems like may girls in pop/indie pop are clones of Lorde/Olivia/Taylor/GaGa/Lana that Chappell Roan is such a breath of fresh air and I think she'll only get better as she hones her craft.
If anything, I hear elements of Blondie and Eurythmics in her work, but her aesthetic brings such a campy, glittery, drag femininity to it that it's not quite the same.
Although "My Kink is Karma" sounds like it could be a Taylor Swift song.
