Less than two years after first appearing on a Billboard chart, Sleep Theory hits No. 1 on a ranking for the first time, jumping three spots to the top of the Mainstream Rock Airplay list dated Feb. 22 with “Stuck In My Head.”
The four-piece reigns with its third charted song on Mainstream Rock Airplay, following “Fallout” (No. 2 peak last August) and “Numb” (No. 9, January 2024).
Sleep Theory, which formed in Memphis in 2020, is the first act to land an inaugural Mainstream Rock Airplay since The Funeral Portrait led with “Suffocate City,” featuring Spencer Charnas, in November.
Concurrently, “Stuck In My Head” becomes Sleep Theory’s first song to reach Alternative Airplay, debuting at No. 38.
On the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, the single lifts 15-13 with 2.6 million audience impressions, up 6%, in the week ending Feb. 13, according to Luminate. It’s a new best rank for the band, eclipsing the No. 14 peak of “Fallout.”
On the most recently published multimetric Hot Hard Rock Songs chart (dated Feb. 15, reflecting data accrued Jan. 31-Feb. 6), “Stuck In My Head” ranked at No. 8, after reaching No. 6 in January. In addition to its radio airplay, the song earned 728,000 official U.S. streams.
“Stuck In My Head” is the third single from Afterglow, Sleep Theory’s debut full-length, due May 16 via Epitaph. The band is set to follow with more than 30 U.S. tour dates between May 18 and July 18.
All Billboard charts dated Feb. 22 will update Tuesday, Feb. 18, on Billboard.com.
