Sabrina Carpenter's "Short n' Sweet" has won the race for No. 1 on the latest Billboard 200 albums chart, beating out stiff competition from Travis Scott and his 2014 mixtape "Days Before Rodeo."

The set opens with 362,000 equivalent album units, according to Luminate, as Carpenter's highest-charting performance of her career — her first to reach the Top 20 of the albums chart. It is also the third-biggest debut of the year, behind Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" (debuted with 407,000 units) and Taylor Swift's "The Tortured Poets Department" (2.61 million units, also the second-biggest debut of all time).
With the album available for purchase in multiple physical formats, "Short n' Sweet" sales consisted of 184,000 units (her biggest sales week ever and the fifth-biggest sales debut of 2024) of the album's total, while the 12-song LP has been streamed 233 million times. It is the No. 1 album on both the streaming chart and the vinyl sales chart (vinyl sales totaled 105,000 – the second-biggest sales week of the year for a vinyl album).
Carpenter also has a big stake in the latest Hot 100 singles chart, with her latest album single, "Taste," debuting at No. 2, followed by previously released singles "Please Please Please" and "Espresso" at Nos. 3 and 4, respectively. She's the first female soloist ever to have her first three top five hits in the industry simultaneously on the chart, as Billboard noted. Carpenter is in good company: She joins the Beatles as the only act to ever equal the aforementioned benchmark, and is the third woman in history (after Swift and Ariana Grande) to have at least three songs in the Hot 100's top five simultaneously.
