Sabrina Carpenter Owns 2024 as Short n' Sweet Goes Platinum in Just 35 Days

Sabrina Carpenter’s career has hit a major milestone with her latest album Short n' Sweet reaching Platinum certification from the RIAA, just a month after its release. For an artist who's been steadily building her reputation, this achievement is a huge validation of her growth and determination. Hitting Platinum means the album has sold over a million units, and it’s the first time one of her full-length projects has reached this level.

Short n' Sweet, released on August 23, 2024, showcases Carpenter’s ability to balance catchy, feel-good pop with moments of introspection. It’s clear her fans have resonated with this evolution—after debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the album stayed there for three weeks, fueled by hit singles like “Please Please Please” and “Espresso,” which also grabbed their own Platinum certifications. First-week sales alone hit a jaw-dropping 362,000 units, which speaks volumes about Carpenter’s rising star power.

But it's not just about the numbers. This Platinum certification is symbolic of Carpenter stepping out of the shadow of her Disney Channel days and into a new realm of pop stardom. Her previous album, Emails I Can’t Send, which went Gold earlier in 2024, was a step toward finding her voice, but Short n' Sweet is the moment where it all comes together.

Carpenter’s ongoing Short n' Sweet tour, her first headlining arena tour, launched on September 23, 2024, and is already making waves. Fans have flocked to see her perform across 29 North American cities, and she’s bringing something special to each show. Alongside a setlist packed with fan-favorites, she’s adding a fun twist by spinning a bottle on stage each night to select a surprise cover song, which so far has included everything from ABBA’s "Mamma Mia" to Sixpence None the Richer’s "Kiss Me." It’s little touches like this that make her concerts a must-see event.

There’s also a bigger mission behind the tour: Carpenter has partnered with PLUS1 to launch the Sabrina Carpenter Fund, supporting causes like mental health, animal welfare, and LGBTQ+ rights. This shows how she’s using her platform not just for entertainment, but to give back in meaningful ways, something her fans have rallied behind.

Overall, 2024 has been a breakout year for Sabrina Carpenter. Short n' Sweet is more than just another pop album—it’s a statement of her talent and staying power. With her tour gaining momentum and fans eager for more, it’s clear Carpenter’s moment is now, and she’s fully owning it.
