Sabrina Carpenter set to challenge Taylor Swift for top spot in singles chart
Sabrina Carpenter’s new hit Espresso is threating to knock Taylor Swift’s collaboration with Post Malone off the top spot in the UK singles chart, according to the Official Charts Company’s first look.
There are currently 1,000 chart units between Carpenter’s upbeat pop song and Swift’s new melancholic single Fortnight, which the latter released alongside her 11th studio album The Tortured Poets Department earlier this month.
If Carpenter’s track can hold on to its lead until Friday, it will become her first UK chart-topper.After featuring in a host of other feature films, she branched into the world of music, releasing her debut album Eyes Wide Open in 2015.
She has released a further four albums and over the last year, she was one of the acts to open for Swift on the singer’s mammoth Eras Tour.
Swift has broken a string of chart records following the release of her highly anticipated record, which is thought to contain references to her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn and The 1975’s Matty Healy.
