"This week's albums and singles charts are both dominated by the same record: Sabrina Carpenter's Man's Best Friend, which debuts at No. 1 and lands all 12 of its songs in the Hot 100's top 40. At least where the charts are concerned, it's hard to be just about any song that's not on one of three albums: Man's Best Friend, the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack and Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem."
"Last week, the Billboard 200 albums chart was flooded with new titles debuting in the top 20 seven in all, plus a reentry as the K-pop boy band Stray Kids topped the chart for the seventh time in just three and a half years. This week, there's significantly less action, except at the very top: Sabrina Carpenter debuts at No. 1 with her new album, Man's Best Friend."
"Carpenter, who also topped the chart with Short n' Sweet last year, enjoys the strongest week of streaming in her career even topping the stretch last summer when she was regularly posting three top 10 hits simultaneously. Man's Best Friend is the week's top seller and No. 1 in streaming it's a hit, to put it mildly. It's got some heavy-duty competition to contend with in the coming weeks"
Sabrina Carpenter's Man's Best Friend debuts at No. 1 and places all 12 songs in the Hot 100 top 40, powered by career-best streaming and strong sales. The album's success boosts Carpenter's back catalog, sending Short n' Sweet to No. 7 and re-entering Emails I Can't Send at No. 31. Stray Kids' Karma drops to No. 4 after an approximately 80% equivalent-album-unit decline but remains in the top five following a huge debut. The current chart landscape is concentrated around Man's Best Friend, the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack and Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem, with Taylor Swift's upcoming release posing major competition.
