The tune from Role Model, real name Tucker Pillsbury, from Cape Elizabeth, Maine, zooms three spots to the top. It’s his second triumph on a Billboard survey, following a week at No. 1 on Emerging Artists in August.
Role Model’s Adult Alternative Airplay reign comes with his first entry on the chart, making him the first act to lead with a maiden entry since TALK with “Run Away to Mars” in early 2023.
Concurrently, “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out” rises 5-3 for a new high on Alternative Airplay. On the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, it lifts 11-7, also for a new best, with 2.6 million audience impressions in the week ending Sept. 4, according to Luminate.
The song additionally peaked at No. 25 on Pop Airplay in July and No. 31 on Adult Pop Airplay in August.
“Sally, When the Wine Runs Out” pushes 19-17 on the multimetric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. In addition to its radio airplay, it earned 3.1 million official U.S. streams and sold 2,000. The latter count scores it a No. 1 re-entry on Alternative Digital Song Sales via a 298% gain after Role Model performed the song on NBC’s Today on Aug. 29.
The track is Role Model’s first charted song on any Billboard list. Parent album Kansas Anymore debuted at No. 18 on the Top Alternative Albums chart in March and reached No. 10 in August. First released in 2024, the set has earned 282,000 equivalent album units to date.
