Sabrina Carpenter's New No. 1 Hit Pushes A Years-Old Album Back To The Charts
There's a lot of excitement around Sabrina Carpenter and her music at the moment. Just when it looked like interest in her previous efforts might be dwindling, she announced another album — and earns another global smash at the same time.
The recently-named Grammy winner dropped 'Manchild,' the first taste of her upcoming album Man's Best Friend, a little over a week ago. This frame, the cut launches at No. 1 on a number of charts all around the world, including in the United Kingdom, where she's become a true superstar. Fans in that country didn't just focus their listening on 'Manchild,' though. They also returned to several of her older titles, turning one of them into a success years after it was released.
Carpenter broke into mainstream consciousness for many people in 2024 with Short n' Sweet, but it's her previous album Emails I Can't Send that mounts an impressive comeback. That project reenters both the Official Albums chart and the Official Albums Streaming ranking this week, after missing both tallies just a few days ago. The full-length returns at Nos. 93 and 98, respectively.
Emails I Can't Send was released in the summer of 2022. By that point, Carpenter had already made a name for herself, but wasn't yet a true pop star. The project has thus far spent a little over a year on both tallies, and has only barely broken into the top 40 on either of them.
In fact, Emails I Can't Send reached its all-time high of No. 40 on the main list of the most-consumed albums in the U.K. in March of 2025 — well over two years after it debuted.
Short n' Sweet, Carpenter's latest full-length, also gains quite a bit of ground, seemingly pushed north by the release of 'Manchild,' even though that track isn't featured on the Grammy-winning project's tracklist. The project returns to No. 1 on the Official Albums Streaming list and continues to live inside the top 10 on the Official Albums chart, though it dips a few spaces.
The set also ascends on both the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums rankings and reappears on the Official Vinyl Albums tally, becoming a bestselling title once again.
'Manchild' is one of seven tracks by Carpenter currently charting in the U.K. The new country-leaning pop tune opens at No. 1 on four of the half-dozen tallies on which it debuts, and becomes an instant top 10 smash across the board.

Charles and Camilla hoping runner will win at Royal Ascot
The King and Queen will be hoping to double their tally of Royal Ascot winners when their horse takes to the turf in a sprint race. Charles and Camilla have seen their racing hopes dashed twice this week when their much fancied thoroughbreds were well beaten. But Purple Rainbow will be running in the aptly named Sandringham Stakes over a mile and could add to the couple's first Royal Ascot winner in 2023. Racegoers have been given a respite for the moment from this week's sweltering conditions, with hazy cloud over the Berkshire race course keeping temperatures below Thursday's record highs. Will Aitkenhead, head of corporate and industry affairs at the track, said: 'Whilst there are no plans to ease the dress code at this stage, we are conscious of rising temperatures through the day and will monitor the situation. We will be handing out bottled water to guests on arrival and have worked hard overnight to provide more shaded areas.' The King and Queen were joined by Camilla's old school friend Lady Cavendish and her husband Lord Cavendish in their coach during the traditional carriage procession along the course. Among the guests travelling in the carriages were the former Emir of Qatar Sheikh Hamad, the Queen's Companion the Marchioness of Lansdowne and musical maestro Lord Lloyd-Webber. Princess Eugenie, her husband Jack Brooksbank and mother Sarah, Duchess of York were spotted in the parade ring alongside former defence secretary Ben Wallace and Zara Tindall when the royal procession arrived in the exclusive area. The late Queen was a passionate owner and breeder of thoroughbreds and had more than 20 Royal Ascot winners during her 70-year reign. Charles and Camilla have taken on her stable of horses and enjoyed their first Royal Ascot winner in 2023 when their horse Desert Hero triumphed in the King George V Stakes.

‘In the Future of Yesterday' Review: Stefan Zweig's Lost World
Stefan Zweig was probably the world's most famous living Austrian before the rise of Adolf Hitler. Among the most widely translated authors of the 1920s and '30s, Zweig specialized in novellas of doomed romance whose titles sound like prompts for a Freudian case study ('Fear,' 'Compulsion,' 'Confusion') and biographies that insert the speculations of psychoanalysis into the shell of heroic lives ('Montaigne,' 'Balzac,' 'Amerigo'). In his 1934 biography of Erasmus, Zweig presents the Dutch humanist as a European without borders, a moderate in an age of fanatics. Erasmus, Zweig writes, is a 'brilliant star' who was once widely read but whose works now sit 'undisturbed upon the shelves of libraries.' The English title 'Erasmus of Rotterdam' masks the German original's admission that Zweig saw Erasmus as a study in failure: 'Triumph und Tragik des Erasmus von Rotterdam.'

A Disappointing Update On The ‘Bridgerton' Season 4 Release Date
Bridgerton season 4 We know that Bridgerton season 4 will release in 2026, allegedly. But we now have an update that reinforces just how long the wait has been and will continue to be. The good news is that Netflix has just shared that season 4 of Bridgerton has wrapped filming as of today. The bad news is how long of a wait there is still to come and how long the gaps between these seasons still are. So, if filming has wrapped now, which we can round up to the beginning of July, we can use past data to figure out when Bridgerton season 4 is actually going to be released. And it's a while yet. Bridgerton season 3 wrapped filming in March 2023 and stayed in post-production until May 24, 14 months later. So, if season 4 wrapped now, 14 months from the beginning of July would be the beginning of September 2026. Given that season 3 of Bridgerton season 3 aired in May 2024, that makes this a gap of two years and five months between seasons. We could scale down a few months maybe if we assume season 3 was interrupted by strikes to some degree, but it's still over two years. Previously, showrunner Jess Brownell has said outright that there is just no way around this: She may have said they're trying to speed things up, but given the data we've seen here, that does not appear to be happening unless they can dramatically increase their production schedule. And the idea that shows have to be filmed and edited and dubbed and written (with source material to reference) is not exactly something that other shows don't also have to deal with. But I suppose that's why 1.5-3 years is the new norm. Bridgerton season 4 There are eight books in the Bridgerton series, and if this large gap remains, it will be the mid-to-late 2030s before the show finishes the source material in full. But given how well it performs, it stands to reason that Netflix has every reason to see it through to the end. Here's the synopsis for season 4 via Netflix: It remains to be seen whether Bridgerton season 4 will be broken up into two parts like season 3. Fans are sick of that, but it's a coinflip whether or not Netflix keeps doing it with its big shows currently. My guess would be yes. See you this fall. Sorry, next fall. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
