Chappell Roan's New Single Finally Earns Some Love From The Country Genre
Chappell Roan surprised many of her newer fans earlier this year when she returned with more music. The singer, who was recently named Best New Artist at the 2025 Grammy Awards, dropped the single "The Giver," which didn't sound like anything she'd ever shared before. The track leaned more into country than her previous efforts, while her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, is pure pop. The cut was a quick success on several of Billboard's country rankings, but there was one list that eluded the title — until now. Roan's latest offering debuts at No. 60 — in last place — on the Country Airplay chart. That tally ranks the tunes that reach the largest number of listeners via country radio in the U.S. Perhaps more than any other genre, radio still matters in the country world, and it's usually how longlasting hits are made. The fact that "The Giver" has finally landed on this roster suggests that gatekeepers in that space are beginning to take notice. "The Giver" was released in mid-March, so it took two months to appear on the Country Airplay tally. Such a delay would be unusual for superstars already established in the genre. It's particularly noteworthy that the cut took so long, given Roan's high-profile Grammy win right around the time the track dropped. For her first single after that triumph to only just sneak onto the Country Airplay ranking — and in last place — indicates a substantial and sustained promotional push behind the scenes. There may have been some hesitation from programmers and DJs in the country genre when it came to embracing the newcomer. That's often true in the country space, and may especially be so when concerning one who might not align with the more conservative values held by many country radio listeners. While "The Giver" is only just starting on the Country Airplay chart, it has already proven to be a major hit on several of Billboard's other country rankings. The tune previously peaked at No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs, Country Streaming Songs, and Country Digital Song Sales tallies earlier this spring. That means it reached the top spot on every one of Billboard's country song rankings, except for radio, where it's only just managed to appear, and in the lowest position, at that. It seems Roan's fans — and perhaps country music listeners more broadly — were far quicker to embrace the cut than those in charge of spinning it on the air. Before reaching country radio, "The Giver" was adopted by several pop formats. The single rose to No. 28 on the Pop Airplay chart and No. 32 on the Adult Pop Airplay tally, and it's still present on the former this time around.

It Was ‘A Hard Day's Night' for ‘Jeopardy!' Contestants

Generate Key Takeaways The Final Jeopardy clue on Jeopardy! on Wednesday (May 7) seemed to be way too easy, but not one of the contestants got it right. The category was The Grammys. The clue: 'Best New Artists at the 7th Annual Grammys, this band would be nominated the next six years, but not again until the 39th and 67th events.' The champion wrote down 'Who is the Marine Marching Band,' which was incorrect. The ensemble has never even been nominated for a Grammy. More from Billboard A challenger wrote down 'Springsteen,' which ignored a key part of the clue that it was a 'band.' And while Bruce Springsteen has been recording for more than 50 years, the clues indicated a 60-year span of Grammy ceremonies. The Boss hasn't been around quite that long. The second challenger, you figure, has to get it right. He wrote 'The Rolling Stones.' As host Ken Jennings pointed out, that was closer, but still not right. To the Grammys' eternal shame, The Rolling Stones weren't even nominated for a Grammy until the 1979 ceremony, when they were up for album of the year for Some Girls. And they don't satisfy another part of the clue, either: They have never been nominated more than two years in a row. But they did win best rock album earlier this year for Hackney Diamonds. The correct answer, of course, is The Beatles. They won best new artist at the 1965 ceremony, were nominated every year from 1966-1971, and then were nominated again in 1997 (when they won a total of three Grammys for The Beatles Anthology and 'Free as a Bird') and earlier this year (when they won best rock performance for 'Now and Then'). If the contestants had just muttered 'Help!' when they saw the clue, and realized they were in trouble, that might have led them to the correct question. OK, so, these three contestants were not Grammy experts, and perhaps not die-hard Beatles fans. Still, they did very well in other categories during the two rounds of play. This just goes to show that we all have our strong suits and other areas were we draw a blank. Best of Billboard Sign up for Billboard's Newsletter.

The 19 Best- and Worst-Dressed Celebs at the 2025 Grammys
It's Grammys night! Officially the biggest night in music! And this year, your favorite musical stars hit the red carpet in looks ranging from chic to eye-popping. In other words, they wore exactly the kind of looks we've come to expect any time musical performers gather to give each other trophies. But if there was one overriding theme for the night, it was a surprising infusion of high, old-school glamour and an unexpected sense of elegance and the 'Good Luck, Babe!' and Best New Artist nominee to take ballet core to drag levels. The dress, from Gaultier's 2003 Couture collection and adorned with Degas' classic ballerinas, gives exactly the kind of high-drama romanticism that suits her best, but it's the flawless beat that really makes the look entirely her own. It's drag, it's art, it's purely Chappell Roan. READ MORE ABOUT CHAPPELL'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREThe 'Fortnight' singer and Album of the Year nominee sauntered confidently onto the red carpet delivering straight-up, old-school, uncomplicated glamour and legs for days. There's nothing about this dress that we haven't seen a million times before, but that's not stopping her from looking like a million bucks in it. We wouldn't normally support the idea of matching the dress to the lips to the accessories, but we can't blame a girl for sporting her man's team color as he heads to the Super Bowl. READ MORE ABOUT TAYLOR'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREWe love these two for always reminding us that the red carpet is as much or more of a branding exercise as it is a fashion one. In other words, attention is the name of the game and these two are masters of it. Why is he wearing Wednesday Addams' dollhouse on his head? Why is she wearing a bathing suit with an overcoat like she ran out of a hotel room on fire? Well, you're looking at them, aren't you? That's why. READ MORE ABOUT JADEN'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREThe Best Musical Theater Album nominee stunned in this extravagantly chic, borderline over-the-top design that speaks of royal raiment as much as it does red carpet glamour. The simple design of the dress allows the highly detailed corset and headpiece to really shine, and she has the kind of bearing to not let any of it overwhelm her. Just a jaw-droppingly perfect marriage of design and 'II Most Wanted' singer has long been one of the best at working retro '70s glam, and this leather Saint Laurent is giving us visions of Cher in Bob Mackie, as it was surely intended to do. It's not a fresh look, but it's breezily uncomplicated and we like how low-key the styling is. READ MORE ABOUT MILEY'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREThe 'Birds of a Feather' singer and Record of the Year nominee took her singular style in a crisp new direction while remaining true to herself and her preferences. It's got a '90s minimalism that appeals to us, but we really hate the random strings, as well as that bizarre white panel on the back that's giving 'Kick Me' sign. READ MORE ABOUT BILLIE'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREThe 'Espresso' singer and Record of the Year nominee is the current reigning queen of cutesy-poo hot good-girl style. She has a knack for working looks that could look like jokes on a different wearer, but the thing is, your girl is always in on the joke. Everything she wears comes with a wink implied and this confection of a gown—which is impressively unwrinkled—is no different. She looks adorably hot, if that makes any sense. READ MORE ABOUT SABRINA'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREWe feel if there's any one celebrity who could make a semi-sheer, super-shiny lavender suit work for them it would be Troye Sivan. Turns out? He can't! Not even a little bit! Looking at this, we're coming to the conclusion that no one can. The 'Got Me Started' singer and Best Dance Pop Recording nominee looks like a rumpled laundry pile and oddly, the pieces he's sporting don't 'Nissan Altima' singer and Best Rap Album nominee looked like she loved her Thom Browne dress, and to be fair, the severe style really suits her, but as much as we love the starkness of the design and the playfulness of the exaggerated hips, that white oxford shirt and prep school tie just isn't working with the rest of it. READ MORE ABOUT DOECHII'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREWe were all set to make a crack about how mad she must have been when she saw Miley Cyrus wearing a similar dress, but the longer we looked at this, the more we realized the 'Can't Catch Me Now' singer and Best Song Written for Visual Media nominee looks so good in this slinky vintage Versace that she doesn't need to worry about being compared to anyone. We like how simple the style is and how much of a high impact it delivers. READ MORE ABOUT OLIVIA'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREMother Monster has arrived and she's wearing Elphaba's dress. Not that the 'Die With a Smile' and Song of the Year nominee could ever be accused of being unoriginal. This gown is intricately detailed, incredibly dramatic, and beautifully styled, from the blunt bangs to the boots to that drop-dead stunning Tiffany necklace. It's as classic a goth glam look as you'll find anywhere, but it has a high-fashion chicness to it that only Gaga could make happen. READ MORE ABOUT LADY GAGA'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREThe Best Country Song nominee for 'The Architect' sported a style that should have worked better for her. We like the idea of country artists working hi-lo glam and we think she's particularly well-suited to it, but we'd have rather seen that gorgeous Ralph Lauren skirt paired with a plain t-shirt than that yoga-looking tank top. The 'lo' just isn't low enough to make the 'hi' part sing. READ MORE ABOUT KACEY'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREIt's impossible to look at this outrageously romantic Chanel dress and not read it as bridal, which is a style that always looks jarring in a red carpet setting, but the 'Us' singer and Best Pop Duo Performance nominee was so clearly pleased with it that she kind of charmed us into loving it. Not all of it, mind you. Those bows can go. READ MORE ABOUT GRACIE'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREThe 'Beautiful Things' singer and Best New Artist nominee could not be better suited to the kind of hot swag this somewhat basic Dolce & Gabbana disco suit requires. While we'd have liked seeing it rendered in a more exciting color, there's something to be said for keeping the look toned-down so it doesn't veer into tacky. He looks '360' singer and Album of the Year nominee brought a hard-edged romantic glamour to the red carpet with this fluffy piece of dryer lint. No, really. The drab gray color of this gown is what makes it work so well for her. If it had been rendered in pink—or worse, Brat green–it would have looked chintzy. But the muted shade along with the kick-ass boots lend it a touch, no-frills chicness. READ MORE ABOUT CHARLI'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREWe're not entirely sure why, but we really dislike the combination of short, heavily beaded black dress with an oversized white coat. Something about the pairing just looks tacky to our eyes. Or maybe it's the dress itself that bugs. The beading comes off too stiff and armor-like. READ MORE ABOUT KELSEA'S GRAMMYS LOOK HERELady, you had us until we got to the socks. The 'Broken Man' singer and Best Rock Performance nominee looked classically chic to us at first glance. After all, how can you go wrong with a tuxedo jacket and a pair of transparent tights? We'll tell you how: by adding white socks to the equation. We thought the gloves were a little goofy, and we were willing to go with it, but the knee-highs are an absolute no for pure feral glam with a drop-dead sexiness to it. Marilyn Monroe herself couldn't have done it any better. The 'Enough' singer and Best Rap Performance nominee has a long history of serving up jaw-dropping high glamour on any red carpet, but this look may be her best one ever. The makeup is flawless, the manicure is giving feline, and the feathers are an unexpected bit of fun. READ MORE ABOUT CARDI B'S GRAMMYS LOOK HEREThe Wicked star and Best Actress Oscar nominee ditched the Elphaba-themed looks she's been sporting most of the year and instead went for more of a sleek, space queen sort of vibe. We're not entirely convinced the metallic panel works with that plunging neckline, but the drama of the design is appealing and it really suits her. The jewelry is really well-chosen and the relative minimalism of the design lets her manicure really shine.
