It is always interesting to see how new stars appear in our panorama, especially when they are not names that are ultra-positioned in an obvious way to succeed. When they have been fighting for a few years and finally something emerges, that is when those most interesting projects turn out. It is the case of Chappell Roanwhich is on its way to convert ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ in a global smash yes Taylor Swift He allows it when his album this fortnight gets some air. Unless the next one is published the day after tomorrow, of course.
Chappell Roan He started his career a few years ago, as a teenager, through covers on Youtube that already got the attention of stars like Troye If they gowho advertised it on their social networks as ‘his latest obsession’. Over the years, the artist signed for Atlanticwho had rather little patience with her project and fired her after the failure of ‘Pink Pony Club’, his single from then.
But four years later, here we are. Chappell Roan continued working, managed to sign with Island for the release of their debut album, ‘The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess‘, and managed to open for olivia Rodrigo on the first dates of his ‘Guts Tour’, between February and April of this year. And that’s when the magic emerged and the public began to discover «the girl who sings with Olivia Rodrigo».
‘Good Luck, Babe!’his current single, has had an in-crescendo development in recent weeks, reaching the American top 10 of Spotify just before the release of Swift. If it had not been published, the song would still remain at #8 with 1.2 million daily listens. Furthermore, it would be the #36 most listened to song in the world – slowly gaining positions – and in the UK it would be #20 with more than 200k daily.
Chappell Roan It would also be top40 in Canada, Australia or Ireland, which until now is the country that has been most interested in her music, despite being American by origin. Chappell has entered the Irish charts with three singles, although ‘Good Luck, Babe!‘ (#21) has given him his best result to date.
The sound of eighties pop-rock, halfway between Cindy lauperthe first Madonna and the Marine which used to have diamonds, is gradually conquering the public. The launch is reinforced with a very strong aesthetic proposal, with one foot in cabaret and decadence and the other in clown and drag.
Until we see how the next few weeks develop and if she manages to stabilize the issue, the artist can now be proud of her peak: she has entered the Hot100 to #77 and the album has risen from #141 to its new peak of #66. Something tells us that he is still far from reaching his ceiling.
