Can Sabrina Carpenter outpace Taylor Swift on the Billboard Hot 100?

Taylor Swift recently made history by monopolizing the top 14 spots of the Billboard Hot 100 with bops from her most recent album “The Tortured Poets Department.” Her chart reign has the project’s main single, “Fortnight” sitting on the number one spot of the tally, but it looks like it could face some stiff competition from rising star Sabrina Carpenter.

Tay-Tay and Post Malone’s sentimental track “Fortnight” smashed streaming platforms with over 76 million streams in its debut week, getting that first place easily. But as the novelty vibe cools down and the track’s streams drop a little bit, there’s a window for challengers to claim the top of the chart.

And that’s where Sabrina Carpenter enters the conversation: her latest hit, “Espresso“, has been one of the hottest songs this summer. After debuting at No.7 and dropping to No.22, there’s still strong hope of bouncing back.

While this chart beef might be cool to see, let’s keep it clear: Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift aren’t rivals or enemies in any way. Actually, the former Disney Channel star opened for Tay-Tay during some of her “Eras Tour” dates, benefiting from Taylor’s huge crowds and dedicated fandom.
