Role Model’s ‘Chuck Timely & The Hourglass’ Makes Top 10 Debut on 6 Billboard Album Charts

Among its arrivals are a No. 2 bow on Top Album Sales and Vinyl Albums.

Role Model, the singer-songwriter, has achieved a notable milestone with her third full-length album, Chuck Timely & The Hourglass. The album made its debut within the top 10 on six Billboard charts as of August 22. Notably, it reached the number two spot on both Top Album Sales and Vinyl Albums charts. The album also claimed the third position on Top Rock & Alternative Albums and Top Alternative Albums charts.

It secured a spot in the Indie Store Album Sales chart at number nine and landed on the Billboard 200 chart. The album's first-week sales were boosted by its availability in 12 physical formats (CD, vinyl, cassette, and signed editions) along with two download variants. In contrast, K-pop group Stray Kids' album, THIS & THAT, claimed the top spot on the Top Album Sales chart, marking the group's ninth leader position.

Other notable entries on the chart included Sleep Token's instrumental editions of Even In Arcadia, placing eighth, and Ethel Cain's Preacher's Daughter, re-entering at number nine. Steve Lacy's Oh yeah? also returned to the chart at number ten. The Billboard Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based on pure album sales, combining physical and digital download purchases.

The chart's history can be traced back to May 25, 1991, when it first began tabulating charts using electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate.
