Chappell Roan is celebrating a major milestone as her hit song “Good Luck, Babe!” surpasses 1 billion streams on Spotify.
The pop star took to Instagram on November 29 to express her excitement, calling the achievement “cuckoo loco.” Along with a pair of photos of herself in a Joan Jett T-shirt, she simply wrote, “All I have to say is thank you.”
The song, from Roan’s debut album Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, was a breakthrough hit. It peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart in September 2024.
In response to her announcement, fellow artists like Olivia Rodrigo, SZA, and Brandi Carlile shared their congratulations, with Rodrigo expressing her excitement and SZA humorously claiming to have contributed 500 streams.
Roan, reflecting on the song’s journey, shared with Rolling Stone that it was a challenging track to write but one that resonated deeply with her desire to create an anthemic pop song. The track’s success is a reflection of Roan’s growing impact in the music industry, as she recently received six Grammy nominations for 2025, including Best New Artist.
This milestone comes just days after Franz Ferdinand covered “Good Luck, Babe!” during a BBC Radio 2 performance, praising the track and Roan’s talent. With the song’s continued success, it’s clear that Roan’s musical career is soaring.
