Bean There, Done That: Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Espresso’ Reclaims U.K. Singles Top Spot

Sabrina Carpenter is serving up another round of success with her hit “Espresso,” which has percolated its way back to No. 1 on the U.K. singles chart.

This chart-topper sees Sabrina grinding out her own competition, as her other smash “Please Please Please” cools off to No. 2. This feat makes her the first artist since Ed Sheeran and Elton John to replace their own No. 1 hit, a milestone last achieved in December 2021.

“Espresso” now enjoys its sixth non-consecutive week at the peak of the charts, steamed by a whopping 6.3 million streams.

The song’s resurgence extends Sabrina’s record as the female artist to simultaneously hold the top two spots for the most consecutive weeks. She now matches Justin Bieber’s four-week streak, proving her flavor is anything but bitter.

Riding a wave of national pride, the iconic football anthem “Three Lions” by David Baddiel, Frank Skinner, and The Lightning Seeds has surged 53 places, re-entering the top 20 at No. 20.

This leap follows England’s semi-final victory over the Netherlands in Euro 2024, setting the stage for another chart climb with the team facing off against Spain in the final on Sunday, July 14.

Elsewhere, Belfast’s rising star Jordan Adetunji continues to impress, with “KEHLANI” reaching a new peak at No. 21. Chappell Roan’s energetic “HOT TO GO!” climbs to No. 24, while the collaborative hit “Kisses” by Bl3SS, CamrinWatsin, and bbyclose debuts strongly at No. 26.

The Kid LAROI maintains his upward trajectory, with “Nights Like This” now sitting at No. 28.

In a remarkable leap, the powerhouse collaboration of Eminem, Big Sean, and BabyTron sees “Tobey” rocket 49 spots to No. 29 amid the release of Eminem’s highly-anticipated new album The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce).

Rounding out the week’s notable entries, Quavo and Lana Del Rey’s genre-defying “Tough” makes its chart debut at No. 32, further propelling both artists’ impressive chart legacies.
