The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, Chappell Roan's debut album, arrived on September 22, 2023, through Amusement Records in partnership with Island. It's a pop record with glitter under its fingernails, carried by Roan's camp, drag-inspired showmanship, choruses built for shouting back at the stage and a big, bold voice that can swing from winking to wounded mid-line. It gathers "Pink Pony Club", a 2020 single that later went to number one in the UK, alongside the multi-platinum "Hot to Go!"
It didn't explode overnight. Roan took it out on the Midwest Princess Tour and played Tiny Desk, Colbert and Fallon, but it took the 2024 success of "Good Luck, Babe!" to turn the album into a sleeper hit that climbed to number two on the Billboard 200. At the 67th Grammys it earned her an Album of the Year nomination, and she walked away with Best New Artist.
