Sabrina Carpenter‘s Short n’ Sweet has topped this week’s new music poll that features artists in various genres of music.
Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (Aug. 23) on Billboard, choosing the 25-year-old pop star’s sixth album as their favorite new music release of the past week.
Short n’ Sweet brought in nearly 50% of the vote on the poll, securing an edge ahead of new releases from Coldplay, Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyana and TINI (“We Pray”); Lainey Wilson (Whirlwind); Central Cee (“Billion Streams Freestyle” and “Bolide Noir”); New Radicals (“Murder on the Dancefloor” and “Lost Stars”); and others.
Carpenter’s highly anticipated Short n’ Sweet officially arrived on Friday. The new project features previously released singles “Espresso” and her Billboard Hot 100 chart topper “Please Please Please.” Along with the album release, she also dropped the thriller-inspired music video for “Taste,” starring Wednesday actress Jenna Ortega.
Short n’ Sweet follows 2021’s Emails I Can’t Send, which features hits like “Nonsense,” “Feather” and “Because I Liked a Boy.” The album peaked at No. 23 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, marking Carpenter’s highest-charting effort on the tally.
“I called it Short n’ Sweet for multiple reasons. It was not because I’m vertically challenged. It was really like I thought about some of these relationships and how some of them were the shortest I’ve ever had and they affected me the most,” she told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe of the project.
“I think about the way that I respond to situations, and sometimes it is very nice and sometimes it’s not very nice. And again, the thing about albums, projects, writing songs, it’s all moments. So harder for other people to understand that when they’re listening to something that’s going to take them through maybe a lot of years, hopefully a lot of years, is that I’m not the same person that I was when I wrote that.”
Trailing behind Carpenter on this week’s poll is Coldplay’s team-up with Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna and TINI for “We Pray,” which brought in 30% of the vote. The British band is gearing up for the release of its 10th studio album, Moon Music, set for release on Oct. 4.
