Sabrina Carpenter is celebrating a major milestone with her latest album, *Short n’ Sweet*, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Released on August 23, the pop star’s sixth studio album earned 362,000 album units, surpassing Travis Scott’s re-release of his 2014 mixtape *Days Before Rodeo*, which landed at No. 2. This marks Carpenter’s first Billboard No. 1 and the third-largest debut of 2024, following Beyoncé’s *Cowboy Carter* and Taylor Swift’s *The Tortured Poets Department*.

Carpenter’s chart success comes with a nod to Nicki Minaj, who faced a similar chart battle in 2018. After Carpenter’s victory, she tweeted, “this one’s for nicki,” referencing Minaj’s struggle when her album *Queen* went up against Scott’s *Astroworld*. Minaj acknowledged the tribute, showing love to Carpenter and her fans. The moment recalls Minaj’s past criticism of how Scott’s tour and merch sales boosted his chart performance, sparking a broader conversation about the challenges women face in the music industry.
