Chappell Roan, Top 1 Global with ‘The Subway’, says that his 2nd album “does not exist”

Chappell Roan has achieved the greatest debut of his entire career with ‘The Subway’, which has opened in Spotify directly at number 1 global with 8.35 million views. In comparison, ‘The Giver’ opened with 6.27 million and ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ with 1.2 million. On its second day, ‘The Subway’ lowers the 3rd place with 5 million daily streams.

This data makes ‘The Subway’ the second largest debut of 2025 on Spotify, only behind ‘Evil Jordan’ by Playboi Carti, which premiered with 9.51 million plays. The debut of ‘The Subway’ exceeds by little margin that of ‘Daisies’ by Justin Bieber (8.34 million).

In the United States, the number 1 direct in the Billboard Hot 100 seems insured for Chappell Roan, since ‘The Subway’ remains at the top of more listened to songs in the country two days later, with listenings that suppenly overcome those of ‘Golden’. The current number 1 in the country is ‘Ordinary’ by Alex Warren, which in Spotify lowers 7.

Roan will celebrate the launch of ‘The Subway’ with a brief tour that will travel New York, Missuri and California. Called ‘Visions of Damsels and Other Dangerous Things’, the tour includes four consecutive nights in Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York; two in the Museum and Memorial Park in Kansas City, Missuri; and two in Brookside at The Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.

Meanwhile, Chappell Roan’s second album is still in the process of composition. In an interview with Vogue, Roan has gone down to those fans who expect a new album immediately. And it has been very clear: “The second project still does not exist. There is no album. There is no collection of songs.” Roan adds that it took five years to write his first album and may take the same time period to write the following: “I am not that type of writer who can produce quick Day, every day, that does not mean you would have a faster album.
