"She makes me wanna keep making new music and art forever," SZA wrote in the comments of Chappell Roan's Instagram post, where Roan posted a video of herself performing in a wrestling-inspired costume during her Lollapalooza performance. The 26-year-old performed some fan favorites, including "Femininomenon," "Naked in Manhattan," "Red Wine Supernova," "Good Luck, Babe!," and "Hot To Go!".
Well, it certainly has been a little bit of a crazy ride with Roan as she sees her popularity go through the roof off the back of last year's debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. Following her headlining at Coachella and Gov Ball 2024, it reached another leap in the charts, peaking this past month at No. 5 on the Billboard 200.
In an appearance on Jimmy Fallon's late-night talk show recently, Roan looked back humbly on her success, stating, "It feels like I was right all along. I felt like I had made it when people showed up to my concert a few years ago. everything else has been a cherry on top."

On Royalty Exchange you can sign up as an investor and search through thousands of music catalog listings that include producer and songwriter royalties to some of the biggest songs of the past few decades.
Take this SZA asset listing for instance. The buyer paid $142.5k back in August, 2021 to acquire the lifetime rights of future earnings from the songwriter's cut of royalties from huge songs such as "Super Model", "Prom", Rihanna and SZA's "Consideration", "20 Something" and more. While they've held the catalog, they've already collected $116k in earnings. That's a total yield of 81.4% already in just under 3 years! The great thing about investing in music catalogs is that their performance is independent of financial markets as people are always consuming music. One great thing about this catalog in particular is that it's still growing as SZA's popularity continues to skyrocket. The earnings for the investor who purchased the catalog reached $66.5k in the past year, an increase of 50.5% more than the catalog's 3 year average earnings!
