Chappell Roan finally tops the UK chart.
Almost a year since its release, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess (Island) climbs 4-1 on the Official UK Albums Chart for its first ever top spot.
Roan's ascent can be seen on charts around the world, including in the United States, Australia and now the United Kingdom, where Midwest Princess completes its climb to a 17th week on the chart, which was released on Friday, August 9.
Just last week, the Missouri artist broke the daytime attendance record for a show at Lollapalooza Chicago. Also, her single “Good Luck, Babe” became the highest-charting song of her career, entering the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Official UK Singles Chart, where it currently sits at No. 2.
Originally falling in September 2023, Midwest Princess is enjoying a surge in the UK following its release on vinyl, with more than half of its seven-day total made up of physical sales, the Official Charts Company reports.
