Chappell Roan’s rise didn’t happen overnight. The pop singer has been building an audience the slow way — by touring, with a handful of undeniable singles, and thanks to an album that refuses to fade in popularity. The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess has turned into the kind of long-haul success most new acts dream about, and after her headline slot at Reading Festival in the United Kingdom, alongside fellow stars like Travis Scott, Bring Me the Horizon, and Hozier, fans in that country have returned to the set – not that it had disappeared.
Chappell Roan’s Album Rises
The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess moves up on every major Official Charts Company albums ranking in the U.K. The set climbs on the all-genre list, streaming, pure sales, downloads, and physicals, and it even reappears on the vinyl tally. It’s a clean sweep for the Grammy winner this time around as interest in her catalog surges.
A Brand-New Peak On Downloads
The most important jump for Roan comes on the Official Album Downloads chart. The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess vaults from No. 44 to No. 7, a new high for the title and, by extension, her career on that tally. She’s only released one project, so every time it lifts, she reaches a new peak position.
The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess on Vinyl
The full-length returns to the Official Vinyl Albums chart at No. 31. That roster has crowned The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess before, so this is a comeback, not a first appearance. The vinyl roster is the only albums list in the U.K. where Roan needs to reappear, rather than climb.
Top 10 Returns Elsewhere
On the Official Albums chart, Roan rebounds to No. 9 from No. 16. She’s also back inside the top 10 on the Official Albums Streaming ranking, jumping from No. 7 from No. 14. Over on sales-focused lists, the beloved pop set surges to No. 13 on the Official Albums Sales list (from No. 30) and to No. 16 on the Official Physical Albums roster (from No. 29).
How Long It’s Been Sticking Around
The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess has now spent 72 weeks on both the Official Albums and the Official Albums Streaming charts. It’s logged 68 weeks on the Official Albums Sales, Official Album Downloads, and Official Physical Albums tallies, and 48 weeks on the Official Vinyl Albums roster, where it will likely one day pass a full year as well.
