Today, Sabrina Carpenter shares her eagerly awaited new album, ‘Short n’ Sweet’ out now via Island Records. The album, showcasing her showstopping vocals and sharp songcraft, has been poised as one of the most anticipated albums of 2024 and represents the superstar’s culmination of a historic year. Sabrina Carpenter wrote the album with Amy Allen, Julia Michaels, and Steph Jones, along with John Ryan, Julian Bunetta, and Jack Antonoff, who also produced the album. ‘Short n’ Sweet’ is Sabrina’s most personal album yet penning twelve tracks that are undeniably relatable and honest, crafting a uniquely diverse yet remarkably cohesive work of art.
With two smash hits already off the album, Sabrina notably made history by emerging as “the first female artist to top the Billboard Global 200 and Global Ex-US charts simultaneously with two different songs”, namely ‘Espresso’ and ‘Please Please Please’. Teaming up with GRAMMY-Award-winning collaborators Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen, ‘Please Please Please’ was also her first #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Among other firsts, she became “the first artist to earn two #1 entries at Top 40 radio this year” as ‘Espresso’ ruled the format at #1 for three straight weeks. As the third fastest song to hit 1 Billion streams in Spotify history, ‘Espresso’ also marked her second #1 on the Billboard Pop Airplay Chart and received unanimous critical applause. Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, The New York Times predicted “Espresso” early on as the song of the Summer. Scaling charts worldwide, the Platinum-certified captured the #1 spot on the Spotify Global, US, and UK charts. The single’s success only increased the incredible momentum generated from the platinum hit ‘Feather’, which scored her first #1 at Top 40 Radio.
In the Knited Kingdom, she entered rarified air as “one of the only artists to reach #1 and #2 on the UK chart”, placing her in good company alongside Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and Ed Sheeran (whom she solely shares the record for holding the chart for five consecutive weeks). Plus, she has notably logged twelve weeks total #1 on the UK Singles Chart this year. A true cultural icon, she even starred in an official 2024 NBC Olympics commercial.
Next month, Sabrina will embark on the North American leg of her ‘Short n’ Sweet’ tour, which kicks off September 23 in Columbus. The thirty-three-date arena tour sold out shortly after going on sale earlier this Summer and will hit cities across the United States and Canada including New York City, Los Angeles, Nashville, Toronto, Austin, and more. Amaarae, Griff and Declan McKenna will be supporting Sabrina on this tour. Sabrina has partnered with PLUS1 on this tour to launch the Sabrina Carpenter Fund, which will support the well-being of people and animals, including national and local organisations working on mental health issues, animal welfare, and support for the LGBTQ+ community.
