Sabrina Carpenter's 'Manchild' Is Clawing Toward a Hot 100 #1 Debut

Sabrina Carpenter is no longer the rising pop princess. She's a fully formed femme fatale with diamond fangs, and her latest venom-laced single, 'Manchild,' is biting deep into the Billboard charts and possibly clawing its way to a #1 debut on the Hot 100. What started as a sleek feminist kiss-off has exploded into a bona fide streaming juggernaut, and as of this moment, Sabrina is in a deadly close race with TikTok heartthrob Alex Warren's 'Ordinary' for the top spot. According to projections, the songs are now within just 10 chart points of each other, an astonishingly tight margin that could tip in Sabrina's favor if her streaming momentum continues through the week. 'Manchild' didn't just whisper its way onto streaming platforms it stomped in, six-inch heels and all. The track debuted at #1 on the Global Spotify Chart on June 6 with a staggering 8.05 million streams worldwide, marking the biggest debut of the year by a female artist. Let's be very clear: this isn't just a fluke. These numbers obliterate the previous 2025 record set by Chappell Roan's 'The Giver' and cement Sabrina as not just a pop girl but a pop girl. In the U.S. specifically, 'Manchild' dropped jaws with 3.3 million streams on its first day, giving it a firm grip on the #1 spot on the U.S. Spotify Chart. That's right: Sabrina Carpenter is topping streaming charts in the same week as new releases from Post Malone, Cardi B, and even a surprise drop from The Weeknd. The girl is unfazed, unbothered, and undeniably unstoppable. Here's the breakdown of 'Manchild''s first three days on Spotify: Day 1: 8,752,217 Day 2: 4,766,328 Day 3: 4,526,518 (down only 5.03% from the day before) Total so far? A cool 18,045,063 streams. And she's just getting started. Sabrina isn't just relying on vibes she's playing this game with ruthless pop star precision. 'Manchild' has been discounted to 69 cents on digital platforms, making it one of the best-selling singles of the week on U.S. iTunes, where it now sits pretty at #1. This is Sabrina's first #1 on iTunes, and with digital sales factored heavily into Billboard's Hot 100 formula, this price drop could be the razor-sharp move that slices Alex Warren's lead. For those doing the math: digital sales + massive streaming + Spotify dominance + strong radio adds starting this weekend equals a serious threat for a #1 debut. Let's not ignore the elephant in the studio: 'Manchild' is a banger. It's a breathless, flirtatious slap in the face to immature men wrapped in syrupy vocals and a glossy, hyper-pop beat. It's 'thank u, next' for the Gen Z TikTok generation—but with better shoes and sharper claws. The lyrics? Savage. The delivery? Pornographicly confident. And if TikTok is any indication (over 350,000 video creations and counting), the girls, gays, and emotionally neglected situationships are all eating it up. Here's what we know. Alex Warren's 'Ordinary' has been the sleeper hit of the season, riding high on streaming and viral sentimentality. But streaming alone won't be enough to guarantee him the top spot if Sabrina keeps firing on all cylinders. If 'Manchild' continues to hold its streaming velocity and expands its sales lead through the week and if radio jumps in with last-minute spins it's entirely possible that Sabrina Carpenter could debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 next Monday. That would make her the first solo female artist to debut at #1 in 2025 a stat that's almost too poetic for a song this petty and perfect. The narrative has shifted. Sabrina isn't just the girl next door with a pretty voice she's a chart-dominating pop dominatrix, and 'Manchild' is her scorched-earth campaign against the industry's lingering doubt. Every stream, every sale, every sexy smirk in the song's viral lyric video is evidence: this woman came to conquer. So buckle up. The Hot 100 is about to get very, very interesting and Sabrina Carpenter might just be sitting at the top of it all.

Miley Cyrus Teases Spotify Billions Club Live Show in Paris (And a Concert Film Is Coming, Too)

Miley Cyrus is headed to Paris for a very special concert celebrating some of her biggest hits, with the pop star teasing Wednesday (June 11) that she'll be performing at Spotify's next Billions Club Live concert later this month. The news comes via X, on which the streaming giant first posted a lyric to Cyrus' 'End of the World' — 'Let's go to Paris, I don't care if we get lost in the scene' — and added, '@MileyCyrus, you coming?' More from Billboard DJ Akademiks Denies Taking Payola From Drake During Kendrick Battle Raekwon and Ghostface Killah Release Trailer for 'Only Built 4 Cuban Linx' Documentary SEVENTEEN Have a Good Time Being a 'Bad Influence' in Futuristic Video For Pharrell-Produced Single The singer then reposted the message and wrote: 'I'll meet you there. Next week. #BillionsClubLive.' Billions Club Live was introduced last December, with The Weeknd playing the first show in the series for about 2,000 people in Los Angeles to celebrate his long roster of songs that have surpassed a billion Spotify streams. The crowd was made up of fans selected for being in the 'Blinding Lights' artist's top percentage of listeners on the music service. Cyrus has several songs that have reached the ten-digit milestone, including 'Wrecking Ball,' 'We Can't Stop,' 'Angels Like You' and 'Party in the U.S.A.' The Spotify concert comes on the heels of her new album Something Beautiful, which dropped May 30 and debuted this week at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. The LP marks her first full-length since 2023's Endless Summer Vacation, which spawned eight-week Billboard Hot 100-topper 'Flowers' — a song that has garnered more than 2 billion streams on the platform, meaning fans in Paris can almost definitely expect that she'll perform it during her Billions Club Live show. Spotify confirmed to Billboard that this Billions Club Live show will be filmed and released as a concert film later this summer. The upcoming show will be especially meaningful as Cyrus' live performances are few and far between these days. When she does perform, it's usually in an intimate setting — such as the Chateau Marmont, where she recently hosted a Something Beautiful listening party. In 2023, the Hannah Montana alum announced that she had no intention of touring for the foreseeable future. While promoting Something Beautiful on Apple Music 1 in May, Cyrus elaborated on her decision to skip touring, noting that staying off the road is best for her sobriety and protecting her vocal cords.

Sabrina Carpenter Summer 2.0 Commences With New Single ‘Manchild': Stream It Now

Sabrina Carpenter's new song 'Manchild' is here, kicking off what could very well be another summer of dominance for the pop star. Following the success of hits such as 'Espresso,' 'Please Please Please' and 'Taste' on the charts last year, the pop star returned Thursday night (June 5) with a track that pokes fun at an incapable male partner. Carpenter first teased 'Manchild' a couple of days prior to its release, posting roadside billboards along Interstate 69 that read 'Hey men!' and 'I swear they choose me, I'm not choosing them.'

Carpenter revealed that 'Manchild' will be accompanied by a music video dropping Friday at 10 a.m. ET. In a teaser, the musician abruptly falls out of a moving car as it barrels down a dusty road, seemingly pushed out of the vehicle by its male driver. 'STUPID, SLOW, USELESS — BUT THERE'S A CUTER WORD FOR IT, I KNOW,' reads fine print at the bottom of the frame. 'Manchild' marks Carpenter's first new music since '15 Minutes,' 'Couldn't Make It Any Harder,' 'Busy Woman' and 'Bad Reviews' dropped in February as bonus songs on her Short n' Sweet deluxe album. The original LP dropped last August at the high point of a breakthrough summer for the star, spending four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Carpenter has since been touring in support of the album, kicking off her Short n' Sweet arena tour in September with a North American leg. This spring, she traveled across Europe on a run of dates that will pick back up with two performances at London's Hyde Park in July. Listen to 'Manchild' below.
