Entertainment

If you're not already obsessed with Chappell Roan, it's only a matter of time. The Missouri-born pop powerhouse has exploded into the spotlight with a neon-soaked, unapologetically queer sound that blends ’80s glam, modern electro-pop, and raw lyrical emotion. Her breakout album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess has become a cult favorite, with fans praising her as “pop’s next big thing” and a true original in an often overly polished industry.

Whether you're new to her music or a day one fan, here's our definitive ranking of the top 10 Chappell Roan songs, the anthems, the heartbreakers, and the glitter-covered bangers.

10. Pink Pony Club

The song that started it all. This euphoric coming-of-age anthem about leaving a small town to become a dancer in a queer nightclub is Chappell’s first viral moment  and it still hits. “I wanna go where the boys are pretty,  I wanna dance with the girls with big lips” is a lyric that sums up her joyful defiance.

9. Casual

No glitter here  just raw emotion. “Casual” is the perfect sad bop for anyone who's been stuck in a one-sided situationship. It blends vulnerability with minimal electro-pop production that lets her vocals cut through like a knife.

8. Femininomenon

Campy, catchy, and endlessly quotable. With lines like “I’m your late-night craving / I’m your dad’s new girl,” this track is peak Chappell Roan: sexual, hilarious, and dripping in confidence. It’s the kind of song that turns heads and starts conversations.

7. Kaleidoscope

A deep cut that showcases her storytelling and emotional range. “Kaleidoscope” feels like floating through a technicolor heartbreak. It's not as well-known as some others, but among fans, it’s a hidden gem that deserves more love.

6. HOT TO GO!

This one’s pure pop fun. With a cheerleader-style chant and infectious beat, “HOT TO GO!” is made for dancing in the mirror or marching at Pride. It's the sonic equivalent of glitter confetti and bubblegum lip gloss — and that’s a compliment.

5. Love Me Anyway

One of her most vocally impressive songs, “Love Me Anyway” is stripped down and emotional. It's about feeling unworthy of love, and it showcases Chappell’s ability to mix theatricality with genuine vulnerability.

4. Naked in Manhattan

One of her most emotionally mature songs, this track captures the thrill and fear of falling for someone new in a big, exciting city. It's sonically warm and emotionally tender, a must-listen on a nighttime walk.

3. Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl

Catchy as hell with attitude to spare, this song feels like it belongs in the soundtrack of a futuristic rom-com. Chappell leans into maximalism here, and the result is a high-energy, hyper-stylized pop track that still manages to be emotionally smart.

2. Red Wine Supernova

Arguably her most radio-ready track, “Red Wine Supernova” is dreamy, danceable, and wildly romantic. It's the kind of song that makes you want to fall in love at 2 a.m. under a disco ball — even if you’re heartbroken by sunrise.

1. My Kink Is Karma

Bold, biting, and empowering, “My Kink Is Karma” is Chappell Roan at her absolute best. A revenge anthem with sharp lyrics and a theatrical flair, it’s both cathartic and catchy. This track isn't just her best, it's a queer pop classic in the making.

Honorable Mentions

“California”  An early track that hints at her later brilliance.

“Picture You”  Haunting, melodic, and underrated.

“Good Luck, Babe!”  A fan favorite with an edge of melancholy.

Why Chappell Roan Matters

Beyond the music, Chappell Roan is helping redefine what mainstream pop can look and sound like. She’s proudly queer, sonically fearless, and visually distinct, mixing drag aesthetics, glam rock, and emotional authenticity in a way that feels both nostalgic and groundbreaking.
