Solo artist Washington United States US singer/songwriter Ashley Frangipane

The most successful song on radio countdowns is “New Americana”, which appears on 3 lists with a best position of #5.

Halsey, born Ashley Frangipane in 1994 and raised in Central Jersey, built her audience the modern way, self-releasing music on social media until Astralwerks signed her in 2014. The Room 93 EP came that October, with "Ghost" floating in on a cloud of moody synths, and BADLANDS followed in 2015, debuting at number two on the Billboard 200. "New Americana" became her first Hot 100 entry, and "Hold Me Down" showed off the same dark, cinematic electropop.
Then came the big leagues: "Closer" with the Chainsmokers in 2016, a chart-topper in the US and beyond, and Hopeless Fountain Kingdom in 2017, a more radio-friendly record that debuted at the top of the Billboard 200. Her distinctive voice carries a husky ache that turns even glossy production into something confessional.
Manic, in 2020, became her best-selling album worldwide, led by "Without Me", which topped the Billboard Hot 100, with "Graveyard" and "You Should Be Sad" alongside it. If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power, in 2021, swerved into darker, industrial territory, and "I Am Not a Woman, I'm a God" is its steely centerpiece. The Great Impersonator followed in 2024.
