Chappell Roan's Smashes Return And Experience An Odd Coincidence

Chappell Roan has been relatively quiet over the past few months since releasing her most recent single, "The Giver" back in March. That track earned lofty debuts on rankings in a number of nations, as millions were excited to hear something new from the singer-songwriter, but it has largely disappeared.
As fans wait to hear what the pop — and apparently country — musician is planning next, they're revisiting the tunes that made her a global superstar.
Several of Roan's most popular songs reappear on tallies in the United Kingdom this week, as interest in her catalog is still incredibly strong, even if her latest cut didn't turn out to be a smash. This continued consumption holds, despite the fact that the recently-anointed Grammy winner doesn't seem to be making much of a promotional push at the moment.
Roan sees five of her songs appear on at least one roster in the U.K. this frame, while several of them live on multiple lists simultaneously. "Good Luck, Babe!" is, as is often the case, one of her most successful tunes at the moment. The track is climbing on four different rankings and returns to the Official Singles Sales chart, becoming a bestseller once more. This time around, it reenters that all-genre list at No. 90. In the 56 weeks it has spent somewhere on the competitive tally, it has climbed as high as No. 2 — a position Roan has stalled at more than once.
"Casual," one of the lesser-known singles from Roan's debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, also returns, but to a different list in the U.K. this week. It once again ranks among the 100 most-consumed tracks in the nation as it breaks back onto the Official Singles chart. Coincidentally, it joins "Good Luck, Babe!" in reentering a roster at No. 90.
"Casual" has only spent eight weeks as one of the biggest tracks in the U.K. and has thus far never managed to crack the top 40, peaking at No. 44. Unlike "Good Luck, Babe!," however, "Casual" only sits on this one tally at the moment.
Roan has only released one album so far, and it too manages to break back onto one tally. The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess gallops back onto the Official Album Downloads chart at No. 65. At the same time, it's climbing on three other lists as it performs well in terms of both sales and streaming activity. If the title can hold on for one more frame and rank as one of the most-downloaded titles again in the U.K., it will hit its first full year on the Official Album Downloads chart.
