Sabrina Carpenter Tops Billboard 200 with *Short n’ Sweet*
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.
Nigerian pastor Dolapo Lawal spoke on the reality of living abroad and what people do not see online.
He shared the insight that many Nigerians who relocate to other countries mainly move there for survival and not necessarily for wealth.
“How many people you know that are in the UK who are billionaires? They go there to survive. They don’t go there to be rich. All of them are going there to do care jobs. They’re going there to survive.”
He then shared that it is better to be a billionaire in Nigeria and stated that success can sometimes come easier at home than relocating abroad.
