Sabrina Carpenter is officially in her chart-topping era!
The pop star has earned her first-ever No. 1 debut on the Billboard Hot 100 with her new single &ldquo;Manchild,&rdquo; which shot straight to the top spot on the chart dated 21st June, 2025. This marks a major milestone for Carpenter, whose star has been rising steadily over the past few years &mdash; but &ldquo;Manchild&rdquo; just locked her into pop history.

A Rare Club &mdash; And the Numbers to Back It Only around 85 songs have ever debuted at No. 1 in the Hot 100&rsquo;s history, placing Carpenter in a rare league alongside the likes of Mariah Carey, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift and Drake. &ldquo;Manchild&rdquo; also topped charts in Ireland and the UK, and hit the top 10 in Australia, Canada and New Zealand. In Europe, the track has already charted in the top 20 across multiple countries.
Produced by Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen, &ldquo;Manchild&rdquo; is a synth-pop track with country and disco undertones, blending biting wit with breezy vocals. The lyrics call out emotionally stunted men, but do it with playful sarcasm rather than heartbreak &mdash; a tone Carpenter&rsquo;s fans are calling &ldquo;sweet and savage.&rdquo;
Its commercial success isn&rsquo;t just about the numbers &mdash; &ldquo;Manchild&rdquo; taps into a cultural moment. It&rsquo;s a track that feels both current and classic, self-aware without being self-serious.
The video, directed by Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia, leans into the absurd. It takes viewers on a surreal road trip through the American West, packed with deadpan humor, dreamy filters, and cowboy aesthetics &mdash; all wrapped in Carpenter&rsquo;s signature wink-at-the-camera charm.
&ldquo;Manchild&rdquo; is the lead single from Sabrina Carpenter&rsquo;s upcoming seventh studio album, Man&rsquo;s Best Friend, set to drop on&nbsp;29th August, 2025. In interviews, Carpenter explained that she wanted to follow up her 2024 project, Short n&rsquo; Sweet, with something more immediate and instinctive.
&ldquo;Why would I wait three years?&rdquo; she said in a recent People interview. &ldquo;This feels right now.&rdquo;
 &ldquo;Manchild&rdquo; is more than a chart-topping hit &mdash; it's a statement. With back-to-back viral singles, growing global reach, and the confidence to pivot her sound, Carpenter is not just having a moment &mdash; she&rsquo;s defining one.
If this is any preview of what Man&rsquo;s Best Friend has in store, Sabrina isn&rsquo;t just climbing pop&rsquo;s ladder &mdash; she&rsquo;s skipping rungs.
