This is what pop royalty has said, and her name is Sabrina Carpenter. The pint-sized power player has placed her foot upon the Billboard 200 twice in a row, with the numbers of her debut of Man’s Best Friend at the top spot of 1 almost a flex.
The Numbers Don’t Lie They Scream.
Man’s Best Friend did not merely go number 1, it went nuclear. We are discussing 366,000 units, which includes 224,000 of pure sales (indeed people buy albums when it is Sabrina) and 184.11 million on-demand streams. That is the sort of introduction that causes the industry executives to pick up their pearls and the competitors to abandon their rollout strategies.
It is also her largest American sales week of her career, plucking the crown right out of her own head, as this new height officially usurps Short n’ Sweet. Translation? Sabrina is competing with herself alone and she is leaving even her past age gagged in dust.
Sabrina’s Glow-Up in the Chart History.
The Billboard 200 receipts are a diary of dominance. Since the innocent Disney debutante days to her present no-apologies pop dominance, Sabrina has grown up like it’s her business:
#1 Man’s Best Friend (2025, the new beast).
#1 Short n’ Sweet, which was launched in 2024.
#10 Fruitcake (2023, since even her holiday throwaway project ate)
#23 emails I can’t send (2022, heartbreak-superstar pipeline)
#28 Evolution (2016, the testing-the-waters moment)
#43 Eyes Wide open (2015, the naive debut)
#102 Act I, Singular (2018, we do not speak of her flop sisters)
#138 Act II, Singular (2019, buried in the pop graveyard until the resurrection came)
It is a career path that shouts of persistence. She was scraping the bottom of the Top 200 to parking herself in penthouse.
Who She Left Pressed This Week
We should be honest, however, chart dominance is exciting, and it is more enjoyable to watch whom you leave shaking in your footprint. At the back of Sabrina at #2 is the soundtrack to Netflix’s Kpop Demon Hunters with 120K, and it hurts when Sabrina just comes in and takes the top spot.
At 3, Morgan Wallen and his I ́m the Problem 105K 12 weeks later remains in the nothing-can-stop-it grip at 1, yet even his freight-train could not prevent the chokehold of culture by Sabrina. Stray Kids dropped to 4th place with KARMA at 61K, while Alex Warren made a comeback, reaching 5th place with 38K and his song “You’ll Be Alright, Kid.”
And she loves poetic irony, so Sabrina had her Short n Sweet back in the Top 10 with 34K units at #7. Suppose you are so powerful that your old album returns to congratulate the new one. That’s diva behavior.
Debuts of the Year, Sabrina in the Big League.
The leaderboard of the biggest U.S. debuts of 2025 needs to include To understand the gravity of Man Best Friend:
- I’m the Problem 493K
- Hurry Up Tomorrow 490K
- Man’s Best Friend 366K
- KARMA 313K
- MUSIC 298K
Sabrina sits exactly beneath two country and rap giants who have broken records leaving her well above K-pop giants and even the blockbuster of Rihanna. An ex-Disney star became a chart dominator out-blocking world franchises and cultural heavy weights? That’s not just a win. That’s a rebirth.
