Sabrina Carpenter achieves her first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart (dated Sept. 7), as her new studio album, Short n’ Sweet, debuts atop the tally.

The set earned 362,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Aug. 29, according to Luminate — marking her best week ever, and the year’s third-largest debut.

The set, which is also her first top 10-charting effort, was announced on June 3, and its Aug. 23 release was preceded by a pair of top three-charting Billboard Hot 100 hit songs: “Espresso” (No. 3) and “Please Please Please” (No. 1).

Meanwhile, the first official release of Travis Scott’s 2014 mixtape Days Before Rodeo opens at No. 2, marking his fifth top five-charting effort.

The set earned a little over 361,000 equivalent album units — the year’s fourth-largest debut and biggest week for any rap album. Of that sum, album sales comprise 331,000 – yielding 2024’s second-biggest sales week, and best sales week for any rap album.

Days Before Rodeo’s Aug. 23 release was announced on Aug. 18 — the 10th anniversary of the set’s initial free release in 2014. Until Aug. 23, the set had never been commercially released nor officially made widely available through all streaming services.
