St. Paul & The Broken Bones’ “Sushi And Coca-Cola” Tops Adult Alternative Airplay Chart
St. Paul & The Broken Bones have reached a significant milestone by securing their first-ever No. 1 position on Billboard’s Adult Alternative Airplay chart with their latest single, “Sushi and Coca-Cola,” featured on their recently released self-titled album. This achievement is the band’s inaugural chart-topping success on any Billboard songs chart, following their debut on the Adult Alternative Airplay scene over a decade ago in May 2014 with the track “Call Me.”
The long-awaited accomplishment for St. Paul & The Broken Bones marks a remarkable journey that spans more than 11 years since their maiden appearance on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart. This remarkable feat is reminiscent of The Beatles, who held the record for the lengthiest gap between their initial chart entry in 1996 with “Free as a Bird” and their subsequent No. 1 hit, “Now and Then,” in 2023, a staggering wait of almost 28 years. The resounding success of “Sushi and Coca-Cola” isn’t confined to just the Adult Alternative Airplay chart, as it has also ascended to a peak position of No. 40 on the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, surpassing their prior achievement of reaching No. 44 with their 2018 release, “Apollo.”
Among the notable accomplishments, St. Paul & The Broken Bones find themselves in esteemed company as the third act to clinch the summit of the Adult Alternative chart for the first time in 2025, joining the likes of Role Model and Royel Otis in achieving this remarkable feat. This latest triumph underscores the band’s continued evolution and signifies a breakthrough moment that cements their status as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. With their distinctive sound and unwavering dedication to their craft, St. Paul & The Broken Bones have captivated audiences and critics alike, solidifying their reputation as a formidable presence in the realm of alternative music.
The groundbreaking success of “Sushi and Coca-Cola” serves as a testament to the band’s enduring creativity and ability to resonate with listeners on a profound level. As they continue to push boundaries and redefine conventional notions of artistic expression, St. Paul & The Broken Bones are poised to embark on an exciting new chapter filled with promise and limitless potential.
