Chappell Roan’s ‘The Giver’ No. 1 on Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart

Singer-songwriter Chappell Roan splashes into the country genre as “The Giver” bounds in at No. 1 on Billboard’s streaming-, airplay- and sales-based Hot Country Songs chart dated March 29.

Released March 13, the single totaled 22.3 million official U.S. streams, 2.2 million all-genre audience impressions and 6,000 sold March 14-20, according to Luminate.

The song by the Willard, Mo., native also opens atop Country Streaming Songs and Country Digital Song Sales, likewise in her first visit to each chart.

Concurrently, “The Giver” roars onto the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 at No. 5. It’s Chappell Roan’s third top 10, following “Good Luck, Babe!,” which hit No. 4 last September, and “Pink Pony Club,” which reached No. 7 a week ago; it ranks at No. 9 on the latest list. “The Giver” marks her first top 10 (or even top 40) debut on the Hot 100.

“The Giver” was shipped to country radio by Universal Group Nashville’s MCA Records. Of the song’s airplay in the tracking week, 20% was from reporters to Billboard’s Country Airplay chart; it debuts at No. 33 on the Adult Pop Airplay tally and is bubbling under Pop Airplay and Country Airplay.

The Country Airplay panelists that played “The Giver” the most during the tracking week: KFDI Wichita, Kan. (45 times); KTTS Springfield, Mo. (44); WZZK Birmingham, Ala. (39); KBAY San Francisco (12); and KYGO Denver (11).

Meanwhile, Chappell Roan is just the third woman to debut a first Hot Country Songs entry at No. 1, after two that also initially established themselves with pop hits: Beyoncé, with “Texas Hold ‘Em” (2024), and Bebe Rexha, with “Meant To Be,” with Florida Georgia Line (2017). (The latter song went on to reign for a record 50 weeks.)
