CARPENTER'S "ESPRESSO" FLOATS TO #1

Island's Sabrina Carpenter has earned her first global #1 with "Espresso," which topped Spotify's worldwide and U.S. charts on 4/29. The fast-moving track racked up 9.8m worldwide streams yesterday, surpassing the Taylor Swift/Post Malone giant "Fortnight."

Sabrina dropped the new tune just before Coachella. Her buzzy sets in Indio paired with the pop banger quickly dominated social media. How long can Carpenter's hit hold court at #1? Could another big look boost the song further? "Espresso" is certainly a strong contender for song of the summer, and Imran Majid, Justin Eshak and team are feeling more caffeinated than ever. Pass the biscotti.
