Sabrina Carpenter’s Breakout Single Has Been Demoted

Before releasing her album Short n’ Sweet, Sabrina Carpenter had already scored a breakout hit on the Hot 100 with “Feather.” Taken from her previous full-length Emails I Can’t Send, the track helped her rise to a new high point on the Hot 100, and it remained on the tally for months. While that composition may have set the stage for her takeover in the United States, it has now been demoted in her discography.

“Taste” Ties Sabrina Carpenter’s Record

“Taste” was pushed as the third official single from Short n’ Sweet last August. Coming up on a year later, the track is still present inside the top 40 on the Hot 100, as it dips slightly from No. 38 to No. 40.

As “Taste” holds on, it reaches 38 weeks on the list — a special number for Carpenter. The track now ties with “Please Please Please” as her second-longest-running Hot 100 hit. As the Short n’ Sweet focus track remains on the roster, it breaks its tie with “Feather,” which spent 37 frames on the Hot 100.

“Espresso” is Still Sabrina Carpenter’s Biggest Hot 100 Hit

Carpenter’s sturdiest win on the Hot 100 remains “Espresso” by a wide margin. That track is still going strong and stands out as the Grammy winner’s highest-charting success at the moment. It slips slightly to No. 21 in its fifty-seventh frame on the chart, which ranks the most consumed songs in the U.S.

The Power of Short n’ Sweet

As “Taste” earns another stay on the Hot 100 and breaks its match with “Feather,” that means that Carpenter’s three longest-running Hot 100 hits now all come from Short n’ Sweet.

“Espresso,” “Please Please Please,” and “Taste” have each spent time inside the top three on the chart and were selected as singles. The fourth focus cut from the standard edition, “Bed Chem,” is no longer present on the Hot 100. It ranks as her fifth-longest-charting success, with 32 weeks on the tally, coming in just behind “Feather” by about a month.

“Taste” and “Espresso” Aren’t Done on the Hot 100

There’s a good chance that “Taste” will remain on the Hot 100 when Billboard refreshes its charts in a few days. If it can hold on, it will pass “Please Please Please” and become Carpenter’s second-longest-running tune on the list. It does seem unlikely that it will be able to match “Espresso,” though — especially considering the fact that the singer’s biggest win is still outperforming all of her other cuts.
