SABRINA CARPENTER DEBUTS AT #1 ON BILLBOARD 200 WITH NEW ALBUM MAN’S BEST FRIEND

08 SEPTEMBER 2025
Today, two-time GRAMMY® Award-winning record-breaking global superstar Sabrina Carpenter debuts at #1 on the Billboard 200 with her new album, Man’s Best Friend, out now via Island Records - listen here. Since its release last week, the album has amassed over 180 million streams in the US marking the biggest debut of the year by a female artist. Globally, Man’s Best Friend also debuted at #1 in the UK, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland so far. Man’s Best Friend is Sabrina’s seventh studio album and follows her monumental album, Short n’ Sweet.

Man’s Best Friend has already been declared a masterclass in pop perfection. Written by Sabrina and her frequent collaborators Amy Allen, Jack Antonoff & John Ryan, and also co-produced by Sabrina, Jack and John, Man’s Best Friend features 12 tracks, including the album’s certified platinum lead single, “Manchild,” which debuted directly at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. “Manchild” marked Sabrina’s second chart-topper, following last summer’s hit “Please Please Please,” and Island Records’ first No. 1 debut. “Manchild” also went #1 on Billboard Pop Airplay upon album release and became her sixth #1 on the chart.
