The past few weeks have been exciting for Sabrina Carpenter on charts all around the world, thanks to her two most popular albums. Both sets recently celebrated anniversaries as fans continue to buy and especially stream them. It will be a little while before any of Carpenter’s albums or EPs reach another major landmark, but that does not mean she is having a quiet moment.
Multiple tunes from the Grammy winner return this week and become bestsellers and top performers again across the Atlantic.
Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” Returns
“Espresso” appears on only one U.K. chart this week, and it mounts a minor comeback. The song returns to the Official Physical Singles ranking at No. 67, where the smash has only been missing from that tally for less than a month.
Just a few weeks earlier, “Espresso” mounted a huge return on the physical-only roster. The single bounded back to No. 2 in mid-August, establishing a new all-time high and missing out on becoming another No. 1 for Carpenter by only one space.
Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild” Reappears
“Manchild” is back on the Official Singles chart, the main ranking of the most popular songs in the United Kingdom. Carpenter’s only hit on that tally this week reenters the race at No. 95 after last being seen on the list in late July.
The song debuted at No. 1 in June 2025 and would go on to spend two nonconsecutive frames in first place. “Manchild” also gains ground on the Official Streaming chart this week, inching up one spot to No. 79.
Man’s Best Friend Remains a Top 40 Hit
Last week, Man’s Best Friend, Carpenter’s latest album and the project fronted by “Manchild,” celebrated 52 weeks — exactly one year — on all four U.K. rankings where it appears. The full-length is still present on all of those tallies, and it remains a top 40 success on half of them.
Man’s Best Friend sits at No. 24 on the Official Albums Streaming chart and No. 32 on the Official Albums ranking. It also climbs on both the Official Physical Albums and Official Albums Sales charts, landing at Nos. 46 and 47, respectively.
Short n’ Sweet Charts Alongside Man’s Best Friend
Short n’ Sweet lives on the same four rankings as Man’s Best Friend, though it does not perform quite as well on several of the lists this time around. Carpenter’s previous blockbuster – which preceded Man’s Best Friend by only about a year – declines on all four tallies.

Short n’ Sweet also holds inside the top 40 on the same two lists as its successor, Man’s Best Friend. The project, which helped make Carpenter a superstar, falls to No. 31 on the Official Albums Streaming chart and No. 39 on the Official Albums ranking, while dropping on both the Official Physical Albums and Official Albums Sales charts as well.
