Chappell Roan Scores Second UK Number One Single

Chappell Roan has achieved her second UK number one single of 2025 with "The Subway," a regretful dream-pop ballad that she first performed live in June 2024 and officially released in August. This latest chart-topper follows her earlier UK number one, "Pink Pony Club," making her the only artist this year to secure two number one singles in the UK. "The Subway" is described by Roan as a sapphic breakup anthem capturing the hope, heartbreak, and healing of New York City, though she has stated she is not currently working on a new album and may be five years away from releasing a sophomore record. The UK charts also feature a strong presence of songs from the Netflix animated musical KPop Demon Hunters, with three tracks in the Top 10, including "Golden" which recently held the number one spot. Other notable chart movements include Disco Lines and Tinashe's "No Broke Boys" entering the Top 5 and Justin Bieber's "YUKON" climbing to a new peak. Meanwhile, Oasis's reunion tour sparks renewed interest, landing three of their classic songs in the UK Top 40 for the first time.
