Sabrina Carpenter Scores New Top 10 Hits With Taylor Swift

It was only a few weeks ago that Sabrina Carpenter released her latest album Man’s Best Friend. The full-length dropped at the end of August, and the pop superstar has been promoting it for months with singles “Manchild” and “Tears.”

This week, as both of those tunes continue to live on a variety of Billboard charts, Carpenter scores a brand new top 10 smash, this time alongside Taylor Swift. The recent Grammy winner joins Swift for the title track from The Life of a Showgirl, the only duet featured on the blockbuster album. The collaboration becomes an immediate success all around the world, bringing both artists back to the top 10 on several rosters.

Her collection of top-tier appearances includes two one-week champions, as “Please Please Please” and “Manchild” both reached the summit about a year apart. “Taste” stalled at No. 2, while “Tears” and her breakout smash “Espresso” peaked at No. 3.

Taylor Swift Fills the Entire Hot 100 Top 10

For the third time in her career, Swift occupies the entirety of the top 10 on the Hot 100, as 10 tracks from The Life of a Showgirl debut inside that region. All 12 songs from the full-length appear in the highest 12 spaces on the chart — a first for any album in Billboard history. The Hot 100 is ruled by “The Fate of Ophelia,” the lead single from The Life of a Showgirl, which earns Swift her thirteenth career No. 1 hit.

Where Did “The Life of a Showgirl” Debut on the Radio Charts?

The track opens at No. 26 on the Adult Contemporary chart, No. 32 on the Adult Pop Airplay list, and No. 38 on the Pop Airplay tally.

Swift sees multiple tracks launch on all three rosters simultaneously, with “The Fate of Ophelia” standing out as the biggest winner. It makes history as the first song to debut inside the top 10 on all three of Billboard’s pop-focused charts. Only “The Fate of Ophelia” and “The Life of a Showgirl” appear on the Adult Contemporary list, while four of Swift’s songs debut on the Pop Airplay chart and six open on the Adult Pop Airplay roster – half of the set’s tracklist.

Sabrina Carpenter’s “Tears” Reaches the Pop Airplay Top 10

Like Swift, Carpenter now fills multiple spaces on all three pop radio charts, though not in quite the same way.

On the Pop Airplay chart, “Tears” climbs one position and breaks into the top 10 for the first time, hitting No. 10. The second single from Man’s Best Friend has yet to appear on the Adult Contemporary chart but could do so soon, as that tally typically moves at a slower pace.
