Preceding this album was “Kansas Anymore,” which marked Role Model’s first entry on the Billboard 200 chart, peaking at No. 82 in August 2025. The album also made waves on Top Alternative Albums, achieving a No. 10 spot, and showcased a strong performance on various Billboard sales charts, reaching No. 4 on Vinyl Albums and No. 11 on Top Album Sales.
Role Model’s journey on the Billboard charts began back in April 2022 with his debut studio album, “Rx,” which debuted at No. 11 on the now-retired Heatseekers Albums chart. Returning in August 2024 with “Kansas Anymore,” Role Model gained momentum in 2025, especially with the success of “Sally.” In addition to these hits, Role Model made his mark on Billboard’s genre charts with “Writing’s on the Wall,” which peaked at No. 14 on Hot Alternative Songs and No. 25 on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs in January.
Role Model’s growing presence on the music scene is evident through his latest chart-topping achievements, signaling a promising future for the artist.
