Sabrina Carpenter Has Her First No. 1 Album After Close Race With Travis Scott

Sabrina Carpenter has just drop-kicked her way into musical history! The 25-year-old pop sensation has achieved the unthinkable: her very first NUMBER ONE album. And not just any albumโ€”oh no, itโ€™s her sixth studio album, fittingly titled Short n Sweet. Itโ€™s like she knew she was about to serve the music world a snack-sized masterpiece.

In a shocking twist of fate that probably had Travis Scottโ€™s fans spitting out their morning coffee, Sabrinaโ€™s album out-sold Travisโ€™s 2014 mixtape, Days Before Rodeo, by less than a thousand units. Yes, you read that right: Travis dropped a vintage mixtape like a musical time capsule, and Sabrina said, “Cute… but Iโ€™ll take that #1 spot, thanks.” According to Billboard (AKA the referee in this epic chart battle), Sabrina clocked in with 362,000 album units, while Travis came just short with 361,000. Itโ€™s like the final lap of a Mario Kart race, but with fewer blue shells and more heartbreak.

Overwhelmed with emotion (and probably wondering if this is real life), Sabrina took to Instagram to share her feels: โ€œMy first #1 album!!!! Thank you for listening to Short nโ€™ Sweet… couldnโ€™t do any of this without you ๐Ÿ’‹:โ€™) this feels really special.โ€ Cue the collective aww heard โ€˜round the world. Is someone cutting onions, or is that just the sound of her loyal fanbase weeping with joy?

But waitโ€”thereโ€™s more! Not only did Sabrina ascend to the top of the album chart like a victorious pop princess, but she also decided to throw a party on the singles chart, too. Her new banger โ€œTasteโ€ took a giant leap to number two, because who needs to settle for anything less? Meanwhile, โ€œPlease Please Pleaseโ€ and โ€œEspressoโ€โ€”because obviously, she needs a strong cup of musical caffeineโ€”landed at numbers three and four, respectively. Itโ€™s basically like sheโ€™s hosting a sleepover at the top of the charts, and only her songs are invited.

In case you werenโ€™t already convinced that Sabrina Carpenter is having the best week ever, all 12 songs from Short n Sweet crashed the Billboard Hot 100 party like a dozen over-caffeinated bridesmaids at a wedding. Hereโ€™s how her tracks are currently sitting:

– No. 2: โ€œTasteโ€ (itโ€™s basically a meal at this point)
– No. 3: โ€œPlease Please Pleaseโ€ (weโ€™re begging for more hits)
– No. 4: โ€œEspressoโ€ (enough energy to power a small city)
– No. 14: โ€œBed Chemโ€ (spicy title alert)
– No. 15: โ€œGood Gracesโ€ (because Sabrinaโ€™s clearly in everyoneโ€™s)
– No. 21: โ€œSharpest Toolโ€ (definitely not in the shed, because itโ€™s on the charts)
– No. 22: โ€œJunoโ€ (not the movie, just as iconic)
– No. 26: โ€œCoincidenceโ€ (her chart domination is no coincidence)
– No. 27: โ€œSlim Pickinsโ€ (except thereโ€™s nothing slim about this success)
– No. 32: โ€œDumb & Poeticโ€ (sheโ€™s giving us Shakespeare meets pop beats)
– No. 35: โ€œDonโ€™t Smileโ€ (too late, weโ€™re all grinning from ear to ear)
– No. 41: โ€œLie to Girlsโ€ (but Sabrina? Sheโ€™s telling the truth: sheโ€™s number one!)

So, letโ€™s raise a glassโ€”or a double-shot espressoโ€”to Sabrina Carpenter, the new queen of the charts. The reign of Short n Sweet has officially begun, and if this week is any indication, itโ€™s going to be a wild ride. Sorry, Travis. Better luck next time! ๐ŸŽ‰
