Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter has kicked off 2025 with a massive career milestone as her brand-new album Man’s Best Friend rocketed straight to number one on the Official Albums Chart.
At just 26, the singer not only secured the top spot but also achieved the biggest opening week of the year for an international artist, with a remarkable 85,500 sales in just seven days.
Adding to her triumph, Man’s Best Friend also dominated the Official Vinyl Albums Chart, making it the most sought-after release on wax that week. Alongside her latest record, the Espresso hitmaker managed to keep three albums in the Top 40 simultaneously, a clear sign of Sabrina’s unstoppable momentum in the global music scene.
Her success comes in the midst of ongoing debate around her bold lyrics and unapologetic image, with some critics labeling her work as “too provocative.” Addressing the backlash head-on, Sabrina dismissed detractors as “pearl clutchers,” arguing that much of the outrage stems from generational differences. “They are getting offended despite having sex many times,” she quipped, emphasizing that her artistry has always carried a sense of humor and playfulness.
In a candid chat with Interview magazine, the Please Please Please singer opened up about her creative vision, explaining that bold self-expression is central to her work. “This is something that women experience in such a real way—becoming comfortable with themselves and who they are,” she said.
With cheeky choruses and witty comebacks, Sabrina has proven once again she knows exactly how to spark conversation—and top the charts.
