Yeah she's the 3rd longest female solo artist. 3 away from tying Rihanna and from tying Madonna for most weeks by a female solo artist without features

Iirc, they released the alt cover cd really late last time, idk why

Manchild has #1 locked down it seems Out of curiosity, do we have any info about 6/7 in the albums? It seems likely at least 1 of Ed/Sabrina will take #5, curious if Ed is still ahead of Sabrina for that

Big merch drop today including signed bundles and the alt cover she said on Instagram was "approved by God" Link to store

If he doesnt, Ed is above her right now. Looks over

It wouldnt be crazy. The logic here is that last time she did singles before Coachella and Gov Ball, using the attention she got from those festivals to promote them. And that worked brilliantly, so she used the same strategy for Manchild, releasing it days before Primavera Sound. So if the strategy continues, it'd be released July 4th ahead of BST Hyde Park. And there's two license plates we saw up close in the manchild video, "MBF 0000", which obviously now we know was a teaser for Man's Best Friend, and "1D704A6", which the 704 could mean july 4th. She has the opportunity to do the same thing to release another single 4 weeks before the album release, in support of her lollapalooza set, but I could see that going either way if she liked the 2 pre-release single strategy of SnS

And the leading rumor i like is Sabrina is releasing the 2nd single the friday after. And his new album is out 2 weeks later. Followed by hers about 6 weeks after It's Sabrina and Alex's world and we're lucky to be living in it.

Idk if this interesting to yall, interesting to me. 3 of the 4 artists performing at the 2nd north American leg of the short n sweet tour (Sabrina Carpenter, Ravyn Lenae, and Olivia Dean) are represented in the top 4 of first look

It really is. And as I understand, I havent seen the movie, but its a this is spinal tap reference? Which makes this whole controversy even sillier. Like, to me the worst you can say is that it missed her intended mark. And honestly I'd agree with that. I dont like the cover really, i dont like how it is shot, and I wouldnt ever display it. But failing to make a good cover and a problematic are two different things. Anyway the cover controversy seems to be calming down so maybe its best to let it

My favorite wrestler is Dom and I adore Livdom as a on screen couple so I was so happy when I saw this. It's funny to see the comments in comparison between this and the actual cover.

Short N Sweet has spent the most consecutive weeks in the top 5 for a solo studio album in UK history, according to the OCC.

So Manchild's lead is 30k less on Spotify than it was this time last week. I'd imagine itll go ahead tomorrow but that only leaves it 4 days to gain 2500 or so units to make up for the lack of vinyls

Best take for me. I like the numbers sabrina is putting up, but After that huge day 1, Alex was cutting into her lead every day (even after she retook the spotify lead), and sabrina is benefiting from a ridiculous amount of press and the fact she just went #1 adds to it. I wanna see another day and first look before I make any declarations

As long as she leads by more than 43,913 today, she'll be ahead of where she was last week at the same time

Also they did a big promo thing where they projected some visuals on the Elizabeth tower and a few other places, and in that she's totally in control, blindfolding the guy and whatnot.

Actually you know what, the more I think about the conversation around the cover, the angrier ive gotten. Sabrina is a grown adult who by all accounts has complete control of everything she does. She consented in 1 photoshoot to look a certain way. That doesnt mean she consents to be treated that way in any other circumstance. It also doesnt mean she endorses women being treated like objects. If today a man treats a woman worse because of this photoshoot, I'd like to think everyone would say "what kind of excuse is that?" And a step further than that, if a husband and wife were into this kind of stuff but the husband stepped out of his wife's boundaries, I'd like to think every reasonable person would say that he deserves to be punished regardless of what she consented to prior to that or how "objectified" she made herself. And we haven't even gotten into the fact that there is probably something deeper in the meaning. I'm disgusted to live in a world where we lay responsibility to not objectify at the feet of women when we can't even teach men that consent is situational and conditional. Women have to consider every aspect of how a man might take what theyre doing, and then we accept how men won't consider anything but the face value of a photo they see before they act. That to me is a million times more misogynistic than the worst reasonable interpretation you can give about the cover art. And i dont even like the cover.

OCC noted that Short N Sweet now has the most consecutive weeks in the top 5 for any album by a solo female artist, with 42. It passes Shania Twain's Come On Over

I hate though that a pop star can have this image, we mostly agree that at minimum the image will partially be a statement of some kind beyond what it is at face value, and we'll criticize her across all of social media for days without breaks, because out of context men might take it to be a sexual fantasy thing. Meanwhile, a male rapper can make a worse cover completely at face value and rap about sexual assault and everything else degrading to women with 0 nuance and go number 1 everywhere and there's 1/10th of the discourse. It's like, are we really doing this in the name of making sure women are being sent the right message or are we doing this to bludgeon 1 woman with the weight of all women in the world? Cause the only conclusion I can make with all of this is that it is every woman's responsibility to make sure men dont objectify women while men are left to freely objectify women as we argue.

The discourse has been insane but I also think this is a bit shallow thinking as well. Even bigger part of her artistry than her sexual music is criticizing the men she dates and herself for continuing to fall for these men. It is a major theme in Taste, Please Please Please, Sharpest Tool, Dumb & Poetic, Slim Pickins, Lie to Girls, and Bad Reviews. And thats just from short n sweet. More importantly, it is the major theme of Manchild and the entire story of the music video. I interpret the cover as an extension of that, critical of men for treating her terribly and critical of herself for falling for these men. She's Man's Best Friend because she tolerates their BS.

The way I see it, if you cant even listen to the latest album of an artist you take your kids to see, you lose all right to complain about the content of that artist's work.

Considering that many think the 2nd single is coming for bst hyde park, it might be Sabrina

About a half hour before the album was announced, she went on IG live, going through vinyls before displaying the Man's Best Friend one. I'm assuming they are a sign of the types of sounds youll here on the album. Here's what they were: 10cc- The Original Soundtrack Donna Summer- Bad Girls ABBA - ABBA Carole King- Pearls: Songs of Goffin & King Carly Simon- The Best of Carly Simon Dolly Parton- Heartbreaker

On another site on manchild release night, I saw someone saying that they didnt manchild as a lead single. And I thought about it for a minute, and disagreed. To me it sounded like a track 1. In emails I cant send, the title track was track 1, a song about how her dad cheating on her mom caused her issues that manifested in her relationships, and then that was basically the theme of the album. With sns, taste opened us with the story of the album and the energy that she would use to talk about this story and would ultimately hurt her by the end of the album. To me, I thought manchild would be a great track 1 for an album about how her choices lead her to be in terrible relationships with awful men. According to apple music, it is track 1, and to me the album artwork only furthers to me what this album will be

I'm fully on board. She said something about how she got inspired to make a new album but was worried it was too soon until she saw that some of her favorite artists did yearly releases. She said it might not be what she does beyond this year, but it put her mind at ease that she could do it now

Sabrina is very careful with her wording always when announcing stuff like this. With espresso she called it a little song before coachella, people assumed it meant it was a standalone but she never said it was. Same thing here, she said she wrote it on a random Tuesday not long after short n sweet. But that doesnt mean it was a leftover or anything else
