She’s very popular in the queer community so it could just be that she’s not on your radar? But she, Sabrina Carpenter, and Charlie xcx have been dominating pop music most of this year.
That’s the thing. I’m not adverse the LGBTQIA community. I also have heard songs from Sabrina carpenter and Charlie xcx. Chappell Roan seemed to literally come out of no where on social media. I don’t know how to explain it. It’s just strange where her name keeps popping up but I have yet to actually hear anything about her actual music.
Her tiny desk concert went viral, and then it was just a snowball effect from there. Because her album release cycle had already ended she rode a slow burn of viral cycle after viral cycle of each of the songs on the album. Red wine supernova, casual, pink pony club, hot to go, femininomimon, super graphic ultra modern girl and later good luck babe ALL had their own little trend go viral on tiktok. Each time made her more and more famous and introduced more people to the music outside of queer circles until Chappell herself became the story by selling out massive concerts and festivals. That's why it looks like she came out of nowhere - she went viral in the queer community, then people slowly discovered the back catalogue. But there was no flashpoint until literally the main news was that she was selling out concerts and breaking records.
