Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Espresso’ & ‘Please Please Please’ Earn New Multi-Platinum Certifications
Sabrina Carpenter‘s blockbuster sixth studio album Short n’ Sweet is continuing to stack up accolades, with a few of its singles earning new multi-platinum certifications Monday (Dec. 9).
As announced by the Recording Industry Association of America, the 25-year-old pop star’s smash hit “Espresso” — the lead single from Short n’ Sweet — is now 5x Platinum, meaning it’s cleared 5 million sales units in the United States since its release ahead of the LP in April. The Billboard Hot 100-topping hit “Please Please Please” and follow-up track “Taste” have also earned 3x and 2x Platinum honors, respectively.
“💋Congratulations to @sabrinacarpenter on her new RIAA Gold & Platinum certifications! 💿✨” the RIAA wrote on Instagram, tagging Carpenter’s label, Island Records.
The new single certifications come less than two weeks after the RIAA certified Short n’ Sweet 2x Platinum Nov. 29, three months after the Billboard 200-topping album dropped in August. Several other of its tracks also reached new RIAA heights Dec. 9, with “Bed Chem” earning a platinum badge and “Sharpest Tool,” “Coincidence,” “Good Graces” and “Juno” going Gold.
Carpenter is on a run with her year-end achievements, with “Espresso” recently coming out on top as Spotify and Apple Music’s most-streamed song of 2024. “What the hell….Thank you guys so much,” she reacted to the news on Instagram Dec. 5. “Can’t profess my gratitude enough.”
The Girl Meets World alum is currently on a break from her Short n’ Sweet Tour, which wrapped its North American leg in November. The star — whose holiday special A Nonsense Christmas dropped on Netflix Dec. 6 — will hit the road again in Europe in March.
