Sabrina Carpenter Savors ‘Taste’ of Victory with U.K. Chart Double

Sabrina Carpenter is savoring a sweet victory this week, claiming her first-ever U.K. chart double.

The pop star’s latest album, Short n’ Sweet, has skyrocketed to No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart, while her single “Taste” is sitting pretty at the top of the Official U.K. Singles Chart.

And she’s not stopping there—Carpenter now holds the top three spots on the singles chart with “Taste,” “Please Please Please,” and “Espresso.” That’s a triple threat!

At just 25, Sabrina becomes the first female artist (and only third overall) to score the No. 1 album and single in the U.K. simultaneously, while also holding the Top 3 positions on the Official U.K. Singles Chart.

She’s following in the footsteps of Ed Sheeran and Harry Styles, but with her own unique twist—dominating the charts with a sweet blend of catchy tunes and undeniable star power. This week alone, she’s racked up her 13th cumulative week at No. 1 in 2024.

Over on the albums chart, Short n’ Sweet has made a massive impact, debuting at No. 1 with 89,000 chart units—the second-biggest first-week sales of the year in the U.K., trailing only behind Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department.

It marks a huge leap for Carpenter, whose previous album, emails i can’t send, peaked at No. 41 in 2022. Now, she’s tasting the sweetest success of her career.

Carpenter isn’t just taking over the U.K. charts, she’s also made her mark Down Under, where she also landed at No. 1 on Australia’s albums chart and completed a top-three sweep of the national singles tally. Short n’ Sweet debuted at the summit of the ARIA Albums Chart, published Friday, Aug. 30, for her first leader in the country.

Elsewhere on the U.K. Albums Chart, Fontaines D.C. celebrate the biggest opening week of their career with Romance, debuting at No. 2.

Oasis also makes history with three albums in the Top 5 simultaneously: Time Flies… (1994-2009) at No. 3, (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? at No. 4, and Definitely Maybe at No. 5. The latter sees a resurgence thanks to its 30th-anniversary deluxe edition.

On the singles front, Sabrina’s triple domination is accompanied by notable movements from other artists. Sonny Fodera, Jazzy, and D.O.D. climb to a new peak with “Somedays,” moving up two places to No. 14.

Meanwhile, Oasis’s classics “Don’t Look Back In Anger,” “Wonderwall,” and “Live Forever” re-enter the Top 20 at No. 16, 17, and 19, respectively, following the announcement of their reunion tour.
