\n\tPrior to 2024, Sabrina Carpenter<\/a> had spent most of her career trying to score a crossover pop hit. Following her years as a Disney Channel star and recording artist on the Disney-owned Hollywood Records in the 2010s, she transitioned from younger-skewing tunes to pop that targeted adult listeners; her 2022 album, Emails I Can\u2019t Send<\/em>, didn\u2019t produce any hits upon its release, but the album\u2019s \u201cNonsense\u201d<\/a> belatedly turned into a viral smash, and \u201cFeather,\u201d<\/a> from its deluxe edition, became Carpenter\u2019s first top\u00a040 entry on the Billboard Hot\u00a0100<\/a>, peaking at No.\u00a021.<\/p>\n

\n\tThose singles hinted at a breakthrough moment for Carpenter \u2014 and in 2024, the floodgates opened. She earned her first No.\u00a01 on the Billboard\u00a0200<\/a> with her sixth album, Short\u00a0n\u2019 Sweet<\/em>; headlined her first arena shows; and earned her first Grammy nominations, including in album, record and song of the year and best new artist. Yet the songs that became her sought-after smashes weren\u2019t just her first Hot\u00a0100 top\u00a010s \u2014 they remained in the upper tier for long enough to make chart history.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tSabrina Carpenter Reveals the \u2018Conceited\u2019 Reason She Can\u2019t Share Her 2024\u2026\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tFrom the Hot\u00a0100 charts dated Sept.\u00a07 through Oct.\u00a026, Carpenter boasted three songs \u2014 \u201cEspresso,\u201d<\/a> \u201cPlease Please Please\u201d<\/a> and \u201cTaste\u201d \u2014 in the top\u00a010, making her the first artist this decade to score a run of as many as eight weeks with at least three simultaneous top\u00a010s on the chart. Although a few artists, including 50\u00a0Cent and Drake, have juggled three songs in the top\u00a010 for more than eight weeks, only Carpenter, The Beatles and Justin Bieber have done so as solo-billed acts. And Carpenter now owns the longest such streak among women, surpassing Cardi\u00a0B, who had three concurrent top\u00a010s for four weeks in 2018.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlex Tear, vp of music programming at SiriusXM and Pandora, says that, between a significant longtime fan base and the momentum leading up to 2024, Carpenter was always primed for a major year. \u201cThe audience appetite is amazing,\u201d he says. \u201cShe really came into focus with the masses, but she had her Disney audience. When she was on Hollywood Records 10 years ago, she was grinding, she had a loyal following, she had a great presence and she was strong onstage.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile songs like \u201cNonsense\u201d and \u201cFeather\u201d didn\u2019t become inescapable, both turned into slow-growing hits that introduced Carpenter\u2019s melodic instincts and tongue-in-cheek wordplay to radio listeners and swelling audiences. Before \u201cEspresso\u201d made its live debut at Coachella, for instance, fans flocked to see how Carpenter was going to end \u201cNonsense\u201d during her set, since she had been flooding TikTok feeds with her customized, often R-\u00adrated outros in concert.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHer musicality and personality blow me away every time that we work together,\u201d Amy Allen, who co-wrote every song on Short\u00a0n\u2019 Sweet<\/em> (and is now nominated for the songwriter of the year, non-classical Grammy), told Billboard in August<\/a>. Island Records vp of A&R Jackie Winkler told Billboard<\/em> earlier this year<\/a>, \u201cAt the core, the music Sabrina makes is perfectly reflective of who she is as a person, and all the quirks and character are what give her such a strong musical identity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThat identity was on full display with \u201cEspresso,\u201d which zoomed into the top\u00a010 upon its April release and peaked at No.\u00a03, and continued with \u201cPlease Please Please,\u201d which became Carpenter\u2019s first Hot\u00a0100 chart-topper in June. When Short\u00a0n\u2019 Sweet<\/em> arrived in August, opener \u201cTaste\u201d was positioned as an immediate standout (with a music video co-starring Jenna Ortega) and has climbed to No.\u00a02.<\/p>\n
