Sabrina Carpenter Sweeps the Canadian Billboard Charts

Carpenter knocks Post Malone out of the No. 1 spot on the Canadian Albums chart with her new album Short N' Sweet and all of the album's songs make the top 50 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100. Meanwhile, TikTok star Addison Rae lands her second-ever entry on the chart with "Diet Pepsi."

Sabrina Carpenter is tasting sweet success as her new album debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart.

Short N' Sweet takes the top spot from Post Malone's F-1 Trillion, bumping it to No. 2. It's Carpenter's first No. 1 record and cements her as leading the charge in pop music's playful new vanguard, alongside recent breakout Chappell Roan and purveyor of Brat Summer, Charli XCX.


The album is a spunky and often funny dispatch on modern romance and its pitfalls, with Carpenter bemoaning the difficulties of dating while also relishing the highs of new love. She veers from '80s funk to early 2000s R&B to '60s folk, and, like Chappell and Charli, she makes sure to keep things fun, whatever genre she's trying on.

Each song on Short N' Sweet is charting in the top 50 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 chart, though Carpenter doesn't yet have a No. 1 there. Lead singles "Espresso" and "Please Please Please" both peaked at No. 3 and album opener "Taste" has debuted at No. 4 this week. Could it make a move towards the top, and challenge Shaboozey 14-week chart-topper "A Bar Song (Tipsy)"?

Another pop singer is landing a caffeine-fuelled single on the chart this week, with Addison Rae's "Diet Pepsi" debuting at No. 84. The song marks the second entry on the chart for Rae, who rose to fame as a TikTok creator and is the fifth most popular account on that app. Rae's rise in pop music hasn't been as swift, but many are speculating that the sleek, airy "Diet Pepsi" might be the song to cement her as a star-in-the-making.

Elsewhere on the charts, Tate McRae's "greedy" marks its 50th week on the Canadian Hot 100, where it's holding strong at No. 42.

Canadian country singer Josh Ross notches his fifth week with "Single Again" placing at No. 93 on the Canadian Hot 100, and Punjabi-Canadian musician AP Dhillon — whose Victoria-area home came under gunfire this week — scores a third week for "Old Money," at No. 99.
