Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Taste’ Keeps Its Flavor on Midweek U.K. Chart

Written by on September 10, 2024

Sabrina Carpenter is on course to secure her third consecutive week at No. 1 on the U.K. Official Singles Chart with her sweet single “Taste.”

According to the latest midweek chart blast, Carpenter continues to dominate the chart landscape, but Linkin Park is proving to be a formidable contender with their new single “The Emptiness Machine,” which currently holds the No. 2 position.

Should it hold on, “The Emptiness Machine” would mark Linkin Park’s highest chart position in the U.K., surpassing their previous peak of No. 6 with the 2007 single ‘What I’ve Done.’

The track marks the band’s first release in seven years and introduces new vocalist Emily Armstrong alongside original members Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Phoenix, and Joe Hahn.

Trending on Billboard

In a recent interview with Billboard, Armstrong reflected on her newly-appointed position as co-vocalist for Linkin Park, saying, “There is so much to this band — this is a very, very important band to this world. And the integrity of the band was really helpful in keeping me grounded.”

“There were so many of those moments where it was like, ‘Holy s–t,’ when you talk about the size of the shows, stuff like that. I’m on cloud nine, but then it hits you that there’s a lot of work to be done.”

Linkin Park’s strong midweek performance has garnered attention, but Carpenter’s grip on the charts remains strong.

In addition to “Taste” at No. 1, her singles “Espresso” and “Please Please Please” are also holding firm in the Top 5, sitting at No. 3 and No. 4, respectively.

Elsewhere in the chart, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ ballad “Die With A Smile” has made notable progress, climbing into the Top 5 for the first time, now sitting at No. 5. Meanwhile, Sonny Fodera’s dance anthem “Somedays” has seen a rise to No. 9, marking its first entry into the Top 10.

Despite Linkin Park’s impressive debut, it seems increasingly likely that Carpenter could secure another week at the summit of the U.K. Official Singles Chart, continuing her reign as a chart-topping pop star.

Stay tuned when all is revealed on the U.K. Official Charts on Friday, Sept. 13.
