Sabrina Carpenter Achieves Her First No. 1 Album with ‘Short n’ Sweet’

‘Short n’ Sweet’ debuted at the top of the Billboard 200, while Travis Scott’s ‘Days Before Rodeo’ reached Number 2.

Carpenter’s popularity has surged significantly since she opened for the folklore artist on the Eras Tour and has become one of the biggest emerging pop acts since Olivia Rodrigo, especially with her hit “Espresso,” released in April. The single, filled with clever wordplay and catchy melodies, unlocked a new level of stardom for Carpenter, followed by another infectious track, “Please Please Please,” which became her first No. In a June 17 interview with Rolling Stone, “Please Please Please” collaborator Jack Antonoff —who also produced half of her album Short N’ Sweet —praised her approach to pop music.
