Sabrina Carpenter Trails Taylor Swift as ‘Short n’ Sweet’ Becomes Second Longest-Standing No. 1 Album of the Year (So Far)

Despite her album being titled “Short n’ Sweet,” Sabrina Carpenter’s run at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 has been anything but.

The 12-song effort — consisting of Hot 100 toppers, “Espresso,” “Please Please Please,” and “Taste” — earns 117,000 album units in its third consecutive week leading the list. She achieves the second longest-running No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 this year, following Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department,” with the latter logging a total of 15 non-consecutive weeks on top.

“Short n’ Sweet” continues its dominance on streaming platforms, with much of its total units (101,000) deriving from it’s popularity on DSPs. Collecting 135 million streams in the last week, “Short N’ Sweet” has also dominated Billboard’s Top Streaming Albums chart since its debut in August (it arrived with the fourth-largest streaming numbers of the year).

The only new release on the albums chart this week comes from Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour, who achieves his third solo top 10 album with “Luke and Strange.” The effort, his first in nine years, enters at No. 10 with 32,000 equivalent album units and a little over two million streams.

Elsewhere, Zach Bryan’s “The Great American Bar Scene” lifts to No. 7, followed by Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season” at No. 8, and Morgan Wallen’s “Dangerous: The Double Album” at No. 9. The top of the list remains largely unchanged from previous weeks, with Post Malone’s “F-1 Trillion” at No. 2; Chappell Roan’s “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess” at No. 3; Wallen’s “One Thing at a Time” at No. 4; Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department” at No. 5; and Billie Eilish’s “Hit Me Hard and Soft” at No. 6.
