Sabrina Carpenter proved herself to be a global superstar in 2024 with the release of Short n' Sweet, but her current success didn't come out of nowhere. Before her new project helped vault her into the upper echelon of pop, she was already quietly building a strong catalog and winning over new fans by the day. Now, one of her earlier full-lengths is enjoying a well-deserved moment in the spotlight, and this frame is a particularly important one for the collection overseas.
Carpenter's 2022 effort Emails I Can't Send celebrates its fifty-second week on the Official Albums chart in the U.K. The set marks one full year spent on the highly competitive tally, which ranks the most-consumed titles in the country every frame.
Emails I Can't Send is the first release in Carpenter's discography to hold on that long. The album only rises two spots this week to No. 68.
As Emails I Can't Send hits one year, Carpenter is likely just a few months away from scoring another similar win with her latest drop. Short n' Sweet, which many have called her breakout set, continues to perform incredibly well in the U.K. This week it's still holding strong at No. 2 on the Official Albums chart — a remarkable showing for a project that's been present on this list for 34 weeks.
The attention Carpenter is receiving has helped boost Emails I Can't Send on multiple tallies. This frame, while the project climbs slightly on the main U.K. albums list, it actually slips just a bit on the Official Albums Streaming chart, dipping to No. 72. The title has now lived on that ranking for 50 frames, meaning it's almost certain to reach a full year in the next couple of weeks.
Emails I Can't Send initially debuted on the Official Albums chart back in July 2022. It opened at No. 76 and promptly disappeared, with no immediate signs that it would return. For nearly two years, the collection was largely absent from the U.K. rankings — until the spring of 2024, when everything changed.
Thanks to the excitement around Short n' Sweet's lead single 'Espresso,' fans started revisiting Carpenter's past work. That renewed attention helped Emails I Can't Send reappear — and then, something even more impressive happened.
Beginning in June 2024, the title started climbing. Slowly at first, but it soon picked up steam. In March of this year, more than 20 months after its release, Emails I Can't Send finally reached a new peak of No. 40, cracking the top 40 for the first time.

Jimmy Buffett's widow sues estate co-trustee over late singer's $275 million fortune
Jimmy Buffett's widow, Jane Buffett, is locked in a contentious legal battle over the late singer's $275 million estate. In a petition filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday, Jane, 46, asked the court to remove Richard Mozenter as co-trustee of her late husband's estate, claiming that he's acted 'openly hostile' towards her since Jimmy died in Sept. 2023 at age 76, according to Variety. 7 Jimmy and Jane Buffett at the 2022 Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Getty Images for Vanity Fair Jane accused Mozenter, an accountant at the business management firm Gelfand Rennert & Feldman, of mismanaging the trust and not acting in her best interests, including allegedly withholding financial information from the family. Mozenter, according to Jane, told her in February that the estate would pay her less than $2 million annually at a rate of return of less than one percent. She reportedly found this estimate 'shocking' since Mozenter allegedly acknowledged that Jimmy's Margaritaville company, in which the trust owns a roughly 20 percent stake, paid out $14 million over the past 18 months, according to Variety. 7 Jimmy Buffett performs in Gulf Shores, Alabama in July 2010. Getty Images for CMT 'Mr. Mozenter has belittled, disrespected, and condescended to Mrs. Buffett in response to her reasonable requests for information she undoubtedly was entitled to receive,' Jane's filing reportedly stated. Jane also claimed that she asked Mozenter to resign as co-trustee on May 30, but he allegedly 'refused, insisting that he remain in a position of authority over her wealth.' 7 Jimmy and Jane Buffett at the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

Rich Polk According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mozenter filed his own petition in Florida state court seeking to remove Jane as co-trustee and personal representative of the estate. Mozenter, in his filing, allegedly claimed that Jimmy purposefully limited Jane's control of the trust because of concerns about her 'ability to manage and control his assets.' 7 Jimmy Buffett and Jane Buffett attend PiCNiC for ParentCorps party in New York in August 2005. Patrick McMullan via Getty Images 'Other than serving as a non-controlling trustee, Jane has no ability to manage the trust. This fact has made Jane very angry,' Mozenter's attorneys reportedly stated. 'As a result, Jane has repeatedly acted in a hostile manner toward Rick and has been completely uncooperative with Rick in his attempts to administer the trust.' Jane and Mozenter are now each seeking to axe the other from their role with the estate and appoint a new co-trustee. The Post has reached out to Mozenter for comment. 7 Jane and Jimmy Buffett attend the 17th Annual Rita Hayworth Alzheimer's Benefit Gala in October 2001.

'Jimmy would never have wanted Jane to be treated like this,' the friend claimed. 7 Jane and Jimmy Buffett attend Lincoln Center's American Songbook Gala in NYC in 2018 Getty Images for Lincoln Center '[I] know how close Jimmy and Jane were all these years, and how Jimmy relied upon and trusted Jane around so many of his important decisions in his life and career,' they added. Jimmy and Jane were married for 46 years before the singer died of Merkel cell carcinoma, a form of skin cancer, in Sept. 2023. The couple share three children: daughters Savannah, 46, and Delaney, 33, and son Cameron, 30.

Mormon college student interviews on sex, alcohol are going viral. Why?
Would you rather drink a cup of coffee or a cup of cooking oil? How about hurt a puppy or take a sip of alcohol? These are just some of the questions that have gone viral on a particular corner of TikTok that features videos in which people ask students at Brigham Young University − a college in Provo, Utah owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints − about sex, alcohol and swear words. The videos have become a massive niche on the app, amassing sometimes upwards of 17 million views on a single post and prompting fascination from those unfamiliar with BYU or Mormon culture. USA TODAY has reached out to BYU and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for comment. The TikTokers who make these videos say they get wide-ranging answers from BYU students, but it's the most shocking ones that tend to go viral. Daniel Spencer, a comedian with 1.7 million TikTok followers, says he used to film man-on-the-street interviews at BYU, his alma mater, until the school sent him a cease-and-desist letter around 2023. Spencer, who grew up Mormon but left the church after coming out as gay in 2020, says he believes the videos strike such a chord because they show a culture many people are rarely exposed to − and one that's in stark contrast to stereotypes of other college campuses.

What health & wellness means for you:Sign up for USA TODAY's Keeping It Together newsletter "It's just funny to see that it's become this kind of subculture on the internet that lives around what it must be like to attend BYU," Spencer says. "That's kind of how I felt while attending BYU. While my other friends were at colleges, drinking and partying and having fun, we were doing game nights and going to bed at 10 p.m., so it's just such a very different experience." Why is the internet so obsessed with BYU student interviews? Robert Carpenter is not Mormon and has never attended BYU, but he started filming interviews there after some of his friends from high school who attended the university invited him to visit. Carpenter says he doesn't stage his videos, but he suspects some of the students he's interviewed were likely being sarcastic or self-satirizing with their responses. Like Spencer, Carpenter says he received a cease-and-desist letter from BYU in 2023. He also makes similar videos interviewing students at Liberty University, a private evangelical Christian university in Virginia. In Carpenter's view, these types of videos have such a grip on TikTok because they showcase viewpoints contrary to that of many other college students. Most of the students who go viral say they don't drink alcohol or have sex outside of marriage. Some avoid cursing or drinking coffee. What we can learn from the BYU interviews Both Spencer and Carpenter say their videos aren't meant to disparage BYU or its students. They say most students they've interviewed have been polite and kind. Many happily agreed to answer questions as a welcome break from studying. While it makes sense these videos have drawn interest online, psychotherapist Stephanie Sarkis encourages people to be mindful of their attitude when watching these videos. "If you're watching it to really get to understand how other people live, then that's different than if you're watching it to ridicule someone," Sarkis says. "I think we have to keep that in mind. Are we watching it in a way that we are curious, or is it a way to feel better than? What's our intention?" She adds it's also important to not come to judgements or conclusions about any religion or community as a whole from quick videos. "The best way to find out about somebody's life experiences is to ask them," she says. "One person doesn't speak for the entire group." The way Spencer sees it, every college has its own unique culture. In that sense, BYU is no different. "It's just a fun little gag, fun to see a different kind of culture," Spencer says. "I think if you went to any campus and delved into the deeper parts of their culture, you could find something interesting and you find something worth asking that would be probably weird to everyone else in America." Plus, not every student interviewed in these videos has the same views. Spencer recalls how one student's surprising answer actually helped her land a "ring by spring." While asking students for their favorite swear words, one girl loudly cursed, and another BYU student saw it and was impressed by her brazenness. "A guy slid into her DMs and was like, 'Hey, you seem really chill. I saw you swearing in that video.' And yeah, they ended up dating and marrying each other."

Michael Jackson's Hugely Popular Collection Reaches A Landmark Figure
Michael Jackson's The Essential hits 208 weeks on the U.K.'s Official Albums chart, joining ... More Thriller, Off the Wall, and Number Ones in achieving that feat. VARIOUS, VARIOUS - JUNE 25: **IMAGE RESTRICTED - NOT AVAILABLE FOR USE IN A NORTH AMERICAN MAGAZINE COVER UNTIL JULY 11, 2009** Michael Jackson performs in concert circa 1995. (Photo by Kevin Mazur/WireImage) Michael Jackson's collection of hit singles is so vast and so popular – even to this day – that at least one of his albums remains a fixture on the charts in the United Kingdom. While the specific title that appears may change over time, it's often one compilation or another that earns a spot, as it's typically powered by streams of his many smashes. Several of these collections have managed lengthy stays on the Official Albums chart, and this week, one of his most successful releases reaches a special milestone. The Essential — one of the countless hit-packed sets released by Jackson and his estate over the years — has now spent 208 weeks on the Official Albums chart. The tally ranks the most consumed full-lengths of any kind in the U.K., whether they be traditional studio LPs or compilations, and it's where Jackson can almost always be found. This frame, The Essential dips slightly from No. 17 to No. 20, which is an impressive placement for a project that has now spent four full years on the roster. The Essential is the fourth Jackson release to reach that milestone on the main albums chart in the U.K. The gathering of beloved tunes trails far behind another compilation, Number Ones, which leads all of Jackson's efforts, with 587 frames spent on the Official Albums ranking. In between the two compilations are Thriller and Off the Wall, with 261 and 225 weeks on the tally, respectively. Streaming activity is largely responsible for keeping The Essential going strong. While the set doesn't appear on any of the U.K.-based lists of top-selling albums, it does climb on the Official Albums Streaming chart. This week, it rises from No. 14 to No. 11, nearly reentering the top 10. Just a few weeks ago, it celebrated 10 years — a full decade — on the list of the most-streamed collections in the nation. Originally released in the summer of 2005, The Essential shot to No. 1 in the U.K. and is one of Jackson's 10 chart-topping projects in the country. It's the go-to release for many fans in the country whenever they want to hear one of his timeless tunes, and like a handful of other superstar projects, The Essential may always have a space on the ranking — at least unless it's eventually replaced by another compilation.
