Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Short n’ Sweet’ Steps Back to No. 1 on Billboard 200

Plus: Billie Eilish's "Hit Me Hard and Soft" returns to the top five after over a month.

Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet rises 3-1 on the Billboard 200 chart (dated Oct. 12), notching its fourth nonconsecutive week atop the list. It earned 100,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Oct. 3 (up less than 1%), according to Luminate.

Short n’ Sweet debuted at No. 1 on the chart dated Sept. 7, spent its first three weeks at No. 1, and then stepped away for two weeks as Travis Scott’s Days Before Rodeo rode to the top (Sept. 28 chart) and Future’s Mixtape Pluto debuted in the penthouse (Oct. 5 chart).

Also in the top 10, Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft returns to the top five for the first time in more than a month, as it ascends 8-5. The No. 2-peaking set was last in the top five on the Aug. 31 chart, when it ranked at No. 5.  The album’s ascent — with a 10% unit gain — is concurrent with the launch of Eilish’s tour on Sept. 29 and the premiere of the official music video for the album’s single “Birds of a Feather” on Sept. 27.
