Sabrina Carpenter‘s new album Man’s Best Friend was one of the year’s most highly anticipated pop releases for months before it dropped — and now, it has the numbers on Spotify to prove it.
As announced by the streaming service Tuesday (Sept. 2), the 12-track LP has set a new 2025 record for most streams in a single day for an album by a female artist. On Instagram Stories, Carpenter reacted to the news by writing, “This blows my mind.”
“Can’t thank you enough for listening,” she added.
On X, Carpenter also reshared the announcement and wrote, “I can’t believe this … thank you so much for listening.”
The confirmation of the streaming feat comes just a few days after the Grammy winner released Man’s Best Friend, her seventh studio album, on Aug. 29. She first announced the project in June, shortly after dropping lead single “Manchild,” which debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 — Carpenter’s second-ever No. 1 on the chart.
But as impressive as Carpenter’s new milestone is, it’s not difficult to ascertain why so many people would tune in once she dropped MBF. The Girl Meets World alum had set expectations quite high after breaking through to pop-superstar status in 2024 with the success of album Short n’ Sweet, which spawned hits such as “Espresso” — which, speaking of Spotify, was the platform’s most-streamed song last year — and Hot 100 No. 1 “Please Please Please.”
Even so, the performer didn’t let any pressure to top Short n’ Sweet get to her while making Man’s Best Friend with collaborators Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen. In a recent interview with Interview, Carpenter explained, “I was just like, ‘This is no different than when I was making the last album.’”
“Nobody told me I needed to put it out at any date,” she continued. “If I felt inspired, I would just write. You can write and it doesn’t have to be for anything.”
If her new Spotify metric is any indication, that mentality definitely paid off. See Carpenter’s post on X below.
