This week, Sabrina Carpenter’s “Short n Sweet” is back at the top spot of UK charts, reclaiming the number one title after several weeks of charting at the second and third place. First released earlier this year in August, Carpenter’s album has been charting for seventeen weeks in the UK top ten, claiming the number one spot on the week of its release. This week is only the second “Short n Sweet” spends at number one, despite its singles being notable hits of the year.

Carpenter first announced the release of the album on social media in June, and anticipated its debut with singles that have caught worldwide attention while breaking charts records. In April, the artist released “Espresso“, which went on to become the hit of the summer; the song first charted a couple weeks after its debut and quickly, two weeks after it first appeared on charts, it claimed the number one position. “Espresso” spent seven weeks at the number one and several more in the top 75. Given the popularity of the first single, “Short n Sweet” was destined to top charts.

But of course, “Espresso” wasn’t the only chart-topping single released by Sabrina this year. Carpenter, in fact, became the woman with the most weeks as number one in a single year ever: between “Espresso“, “Taste” and “Please, Please, Please“, the Pennsylvania-born singer spent twenty-one weeks at number one. “Taste” and “Please, Please, Please” respectively charted at number one for nine and five weeks. After the twentieth week charting, Carpenter became the first artist in more than seventy years to spend more than twenty weeks as number one in the singles chart.

“Short n Sweet” became the album with the second biggest debut of 2024, second only to Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department”, selling almost 90,000 charts units in its debut week. The album also made Carpenter become the first woman in history to be charting at number one on both the albums and singles charts at the same time while also holding the top three positions on songs charts. She might have been working late, but it was worth it.

With “Short n Sweet“, Carpenter quickly reached a worldwide level of fame that has granted her various Grammys nominations and, a sold out tour and slots at some of the world’s most acclaimed and attended festivals, including BST Hyde Park next summer.
