Sabrina Carpenter’s New Single Opens At No. 1

Sabrina Carpenter’s new album Man’s Best Friend isn’t expected until late August, but the campaign around the project is already going spectacularly. The Grammy winner dropped new single “Manchild” in early June, and the country-tinged pop tune has quickly become a massive global success.

The track launches on half a dozen charts in the United Kingdom this week, and it leads the way on many of them, as Carpenter’s latest cut proves that a new worldwide pop star is here to stay.

Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild” Debuts at No. 1

“Manchild” launches atop the Official Singles chart in the U.K., which ranks the most consumed songs in the country. It earns Carpenter her fourth career leader, as three smashes from her breakout album Short n’ Sweet all managed to lead the charge for at least a month at a time.

“Espresso,” “Please Please Please,” and “Taste” took turns ruling, and now “Manchild” launches atop the competitive roster as well, joining those fairly recent wins.

“Manchild” Rules Several Official U.K. Rankings

The same track also rules the Official Singles Sales, Official Physical Singles and Official Vinyl Singles charts as it opens at No. 1 on the main songs tally in the U.K. “Manchild” is Carpenter’s second ruler on the first two tallies and her third on the vinyl-only roster, as “Nonsense” — taken from a previous era — also managed one moment in the spotlight.

“Manchild” Earns Lofty Debuts on Other Tallies

“Manchild” doesn’t quite dominate either the Official Streaming or Official Singles Downloads charts in the U.K. this week, but it does begin its run on those two tallies inside the top 10. The latest from Carpenter kicks off its time as the second-most streamed tune in the nation, and the fifth-bestselling download. In both cases, the singer-songwriter collects her fourth placement inside the top 10.

Sabrina Carpenter’s Seven Current Hits

“Man Child” is one of seven songs by Carpenter to appear on at least one chart in the U.K. at the moment. Previous smashes like “Espresso,” “Taste,” “Please Please Please” and “Nonsense” make a home on several rankings, while “Busy Woman” and “Bed Chem” live on just one list as fans continue to buy and stream her past works amid growing excitement around her upcoming full-length effort.
