Sabrina Carpenter Celebrates ‘Man’s Best Friend’ Going Platinum: ‘I’m Choosing Gratitude This Season’

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but for Sabrina Carpenter, platinum is her element of choice. The bubbly pop star celebrated her Man’s Best Friend album becoming platinum certified by the RIAA on Thursday (Nov. 13), which comes less than three months after the LP’s arrival.

“What in the world Man’s Best Friend just went platinum thank you for listening to this album,” she wrote in a post to her Instagram. “I love you guys so much.”

The “Manchild” singer also performed a bit of self-censorship in a separate post on X. “I want to make a joke but I’m choosing gratitude this season. Thank you,” she said.

Fans joked that the RIAA was lagging behind as the album went platinum in their homes or cars long before the official certification. “It went platinum in my house the moment it came out tho… they’re a bit late,” one fan wrote. Another chimed in: “Been going platinum in my rotation since it was released!”

Sabrina didn’t waste much time basking in the success of Short n’ Sweet as she kicked off the Man’s Best Friend rollout with “Manchild” in June, which topped the Billboard Hot 100.

Man’s Best Friend arrived on Aug. 29 and scored Carpenter her second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200. The set earned 366,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week ending Sept. 4, according to Luminate.

Traditional album sales comprised 224,000 of the total sum, which are both career high marks for Carpenter. It was also the biggest streaming week of her career to date.

Man’s Best Friend netted Carpenter another top five hit — her fifth to date — as “Tears” debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is currently certified platinum by the RIAA. All 12 tracks from the album earned slots on the Hot 100 in the week following Man’s Best Friend‘s arrival.
