Chappell Roan is actively promoting two singles at the moment, but only one has become a major radio hit in her home country. "The Giver" started strong on a number of Billboard rankings, but it’s now on the decline. After just a few weeks of being pushed to pop radio, it looks like it may soon disappear.
Meanwhile, "Pink Pony Club" — featured on her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess — is still gaining momentum. The years-old tune has helped Roan reach a never-before-seen high on one radio tally, as it’s become a surprise airplay hit.
"Pink Pony Club" Hits No. 1
"Pink Pony Club" gallops from No. 3 to No. 1 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart. The track earns Roan her first leader on Billboard’s ranking of the compositions that rack up the largest total number of audience impressions across U.S. radio stations that play a more mature side of pop.
Throughout her career, Roan has sent 34 songs to the Adult Pop Airplay chart. Before "Pink Pony Club" arrived, only one of them, "Good Luck, Babe!," had cracked the top 10. That track stalled at No. 9 in September 2024. Her other hits, "Hot To Go!" (No. 11) and "The Giver" (No. 32), never quite made it to that uppermost tier.
"Pink Pony Club" on the Pop Radio Charts
"Pink Pony Club" currently appears on all three of Billboard’s pop radio charts. It holds at No. 2 on the general Pop Airplay list, after previously dominating. At the same time, it steps up one spot on the Adult Contemporary roster, hitting a new peak of No. 17 in the process.
