You've probably seen her in a giant swan outfit or dressed like a literal Statue of Liberty. Maybe you just haven't been able to get the "HOT TO GO!" dance out of your head for six months straight. Honestly, Chappell Roan is everywhere right now. But if you’re trying to build a physical record collection or just want to know how deep the rabbit hole goes, you might be wondering: how many albums does Chappell Roan have actually?
The answer is shorter than you’d expect for someone who feels like a ten-year veteran of the pop scene.
As of early 2026, Chappell Roan has exactly one studio album. That’s it. Just one. But that single record, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, has enough lore, glitter, and heartbreak to fill a whole trilogy. If you’re seeing other titles floating around on Spotify or discography sites, they are likely EPs (Extended Plays) or singles that have taken on a life of their own.
The One and Only: The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess
Released on September 22, 2023, this is the "big one." It’s the record that turned Kayleigh Rose Amstutz—the girl from Willard, Missouri—into the drag-inspired pop titan we know as Chappell Roan.
It wasn't an overnight hit. Far from it.
The album actually had a pretty slow burn. It wasn't until her massive run opening for Olivia Rodrigo on the GUTS World Tour and her legendary 2024 festival circuit (Coachella, Gov Ball, Lollapalooza) that the world finally caught up. By the time the 2025 Grammys rolled around and she took home Best New Artist, the album was already certified Platinum.
The tracklist is basically a greatest hits record disguised as a debut. You've got:
- Femininomenon (The ultimate high-energy opener)
- Red Wine Supernova (A queer anthem staple)
- Casual (The "knee-deep in the passenger seat" song that everyone screams at the top of their lungs)
- Pink Pony Club (The song that technically started her indie era in 2020)
People often forget that many of these songs were released as singles years before the album actually dropped. "Pink Pony Club" came out in 2020, and "Naked in Manhattan" followed in early 2022. Because she released so many singles over such a long period, it can feel like she has more albums than she really does.

Wait, What About School Nights?
If you go digging into her history, you’ll find School Nights. It was released way back in 2017.
Is it an album? No.
School Nights is a 5-track EP. At the time, Chappell was signed to Atlantic Records and was leaning into a much darker, "moody-pop" aesthetic. Think less "glittery drag queen" and more "haunting forest girl."
It features songs like "Good Hurt" and "Die Young." If you listen to it now, you can still hear that incredible vocal range, but the vibe is completely different from the Midwest Princess era. It’s a fascinating time capsule of who she was before she found her true voice in Los Angeles.
The "Good Luck, Babe!" Era and the Second Album
This is where things get a bit confusing for casual fans. In 2024, Chappell released "Good Luck, Babe!" which became arguably her biggest song to date. Then, throughout 2025, she dropped "The Giver" and "The Subway."
Naturally, everyone assumed a second album was dropping any second.
But Chappell has been very vocal about the fact that she isn't a "fast" songwriter. In an August 2025 interview with Vogue, she told fans to basically take a deep breath. She mentioned that her first album took five years to write, and she expects the second one might take just as long.

She literally said, "The second project doesn't exist yet. There is no album. There is no collection of songs."
So, while she has plenty of incredible singles out there that aren't on her first album, they haven't been bundled into a second studio record yet. As of 2026, those tracks are technically "non-album singles."
Chappell Roan Discography at a Glance
Since we're keeping it real, here is the breakdown of what actually exists in her catalog right now. No filler, just the facts.
Studio Albums
- The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess (2023)
Extended Plays (EPs)
- School Nights (2017)
Major Singles (Not on the debut album)
- "Good Luck, Babe!" (2024)
- "The Giver" (2025)
- "The Subway" (2025)
Why Does It Feel Like She Has More Music?
Part of the confusion comes from how she markets her "Eras." Chappell treats every single like a massive theatrical event. When "The Subway" dropped in late 2025, it came with a full aesthetic shift and a music video that felt like a movie.

Also, her live shows are legendary for including unreleased tracks. Fans have been recording her performing songs like "Read & Make Out" (a rumored title) for ages, leading many to think they’re already on an album they just haven't found yet.
Then there’s the "Sleeper Hit" factor. Because Midwest Princess stayed on the charts for so long, new fans are discovering "Casual" or "My Kink Is Karma" today and assuming they are brand-new releases. In reality, some of those songs are three or four years old.
What’s Next for the Midwest Princess?
If you're looking for more Chappell Roan content, you’re going to have to be patient. She has been very open about her need for a "restful reset" in 2026. After the whirlwind of 2024 and 2025—which included Grammys, headline tours, and constant paparazzi attention—she’s taking time to actually live her life.
She’s mentioned that social media is "harmful" to her art and that she wants to write the next record away from the noise of TikTok and Instagram. This means the gap between album one and album two might be a long one.
Actionable Insights for Fans:
- Don't buy "leaked" albums. There are often bootleg vinyls or "complete collections" sold on shady sites. These aren't official and often have terrible sound quality.
- Check the EPs. If you've only heard the hits, go back to the School Nights EP. It’s a totally different side of her artistry.
- Follow her newsletter. Chappell has been moving away from social media and using personal emails to communicate with fans. It’s the most reliable way to know when album number two actually becomes a reality.
- Support the physicals. The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess has some of the coolest vinyl variants in modern pop. If you want to support her during the long wait for the next record, that’s the way to do it.
Bottom line? She’s a quality-over-quantity artist. We might only have one album for a while, but when you consider that nearly every track on that album is a certified banger, it’s more than enough to hold us over.
