Chappell Roan's single 'Pink Pony Club' needed half a decade to become a hit in the United Kingdom, which is forever when it comes to pop music. The track was released in 2020, but only began picking up traction in the U.K. after she performed it on the main stage during the 2025 Grammy Awards earlier in 2025.
In the months since her showing, the tune has become one of the superstar's most familiar tracks. Even though pop tunes usually experience a shorter shelf life than some other compositions, this one is not just sticking around— i t's managing to find space inside the most competitive region on tallies for months at a time.
'Pink Pony Club' appears on half a dozen charts in the U.K. this week. Amazingly, despite the fact that it's already been present for several months at this point, it lives inside the top 10 on each and every ranking. The cut manages that showing as it surges back into the uppermost tier on both the Official Vinyl Singles and Official Physical Singles rankings. This time around, it lands at Nos. 9 and 10, respectively, after sitting only a few spaces beneath the top 10 on those two rosters just a few days ago.
'Pink Pony Club' is on the decline on half of all the U.K. lists on which it appears, though it hasn't fallen outside the top 10 just yet. It dips to No. 4 on the Official Singles chart and to Nos. 6 and 7 on the Official Singles Downloads and Official Singles Sales tallies, respectively.
The tune is a non-mover on the Official Streaming chart, where it holds at No. 5. Roan's track has spent the most time on that list, as it's now up to 47 frames as one of the most successful releases on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others within the U.K.
'Pink Pony Club' is one of five songs by Roan that appear on at least one chart apiece this week in the country. 'Good Luck, Babe!' lives on five rosters and is gaining ground on all of them. It surges north on four lists, including a return to the top 10 on the Official Vinyl Singles roster, and it reappears on the Official Singles Sales tally, well over a year after it first became a breakout smash.
'Casual,' 'The Giver,' and 'Hot to Go!' all manage to make a home on just one roster apiece. 'Casual' breaks back onto the most competitive ranking, the Official Singles chart, while 'The Giver' and 'Hot to Go!' decline by double-digit spaces on the Official Streaming list.

James Hetfield says that Mama Said was never meant to be a Metallica song
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Mama Said, one of the defining singles from Metallica's 1996 album Load, wasn't originally intended to be released by the band. This has been revealed by a 1996 interview with singer/guitarist James Hetfield, which was this week unearthed and uploaded to YouTube by the channel 'TMF – The Music Factory'. During the conversation, Hetfield, who wrote the song and exclusively plays acoustic guitar throughout its run-time, compares Mama Said's creation with that of 1991 megahit Nothing Else Matters, which started as an intimate track no one else was ever intended to hear. '[Mama Said] was myself writing something for me: just out on the road, being bored, being in your hotel room,' the frontman says. 'It wasn't really for others to hear. It was some real personal stuff.' Hetfield adds that, somehow, his bandmates overheard him playing the song and saw potential in it. 'They saw something there, something real from deep inside,' he continues. 'It was pretty heavy, meaning-wise. So, we worked on it and turned it into a Metallica song. It wasn't originally supposed to be one.' One of Hetfield's most lyrically vulnerable songs, Mama Said is about the musician's complicated relationship with his mother, who was a Christian Scientist that died of cancer in February 1980, when her son was 16 years old. The track hints at discord between the two ('Let my heart go, let your son grow'), but Hetfield also laments his lack of gratitude for his mother while she was alive ('I took your love for granted, all the things you said to me'). Load came out on June 4, 1996, and Mama Said received a single release on November 25. The song charted well in Europe, reaching number one on the UK Rock & Metal chart and 19 on the UK Singles chart. Despite that success, Metallica have never played Mama Said live as a unit, with its only known performances being two solo acoustic renditions by Hetfield in November 1996, one for UK TV show Later With Jools Holland and the other for Swedish programme Sverige-Sovjet. On Friday (June 13), Metallica reissued Load across a series of titanic boxsets, offering almost 300 tracks from around that era, including many previously unheard demos, edits and live versions. The album was remastered by Reuben Cohen. Earlier this year, lead guitarist Kirk Hammett expressed an openness to revisit Load's bluesier sound on future Metallica albums.

Heavy Metal Icon, 61, Blows Fans Away With Timeless Voice: 'At His Age, It's Insane'
Heavy Metal Icon, 61, Blows Fans Away With Timeless Voice: 'At His Age, It's Insane' originally appeared on Parade. Age takes its toll on everyone. Whether that's appearance, physicality, or in your work, it has its effect no matter what. Sometimes, the years creeping up can even end careers and reputations for many musicians, in particular, as time can take away a lot of their ability -- especially their voice. Many greats have lost their prime, seeing their voices grow ragged, raspy, and hoarse over the years. It's a fact of life, which is why it's incredibly surprising when somebody's voice can stand the test of time and still sound young. This is the exact scenario that is shocking fans of Metallica right now, as lead singer James Hetfield doesn't sound a day over 20. In a recent concert video, fans were stunned by the quality of Hetfield's voice as he gets into his later years. This is such an impressive video, and people can't get over how incredible he sounds. Fans were leaping to the comments to share their reactions to Hetfield still being in top shape. "Does anybody talk about how they sing like they were in the 80's?" "The range. At his age, it's insane." "I LOVE HIS VOICE!!" It seems that the band is still going just as strong as ever.
