There’s nothing short about the numbers Sabrina Carpenter is pulling on her new album, but they sure are sweet.
As of Friday (Sept. 27), the 25-year-old pop star’s sixth studio LP Short n’ Sweet has already been certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. That means the 12-track project has moved more than 1 million units, becoming her first album to earn the certification, according to RIAA’s records.
Carpenter previously reached Platinum status with her Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Please Please Please” as well as fellow Short n’ Sweet single “Espresso.” Her fifth album, Emails I Can’t Send, was certified Gold in March this year.
The news comes about a month after Short n’ Sweet debuted atop the Billboard 200, where it reigned at No. 1 for three consecutive weeks. Bolstered by the runaway successes of “Please Please Please,” “Espresso” and “Taste,” the LP is the Girl Meets World alum’s first No. 1 album and sold 362,000 equivalent album units in its first week.
“can’t express my gratitude. My first #1 album!!!!” she wrote on Instagram Sept. 3. “thank you for listening to short n’ sweet. thank you for believing in me all these years! couldn’t do any of this without you :’) this feels really special. love you all.”
Carpenter is currently touring in support of the album, having launched the North American leg of her first-ever arena trek in Columbus, Ohio Sept. 23. The “Feather” artist will travel through the U.S. and Canada for the next two months before embarking on a European stretch in March 2025.
