The album’s first two singles, “Espresso” and “Please Please Please,” became instant chart toppers and songs of the summer. “Espresso” became the third fastest song to hit one billion streams in Spotify history while “Please Please Please” continues to dominate popular culture and became Carpenter’s first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and still rules airwaves at No. 1 on pop radio.
In the UK, Sabrina became the first female artist to have the Top 3 songs on the UK singles chart for 2 consecutive weeks and only the second artist to achieve this after Ed Sheeran in 2017. The album also remains No. 1 in Australia, Canada, and France.
