After Sabrina Carpenter released her single "Espresso" in April 2024, it didn't take long for the song to become a global hit. In the United Kingdom, the tune proved to be a breakout smash for the rising star, quickly soaring to No. 1 on multiple tallies during its initial heyday. "Espresso" became a champion on several rankings, and the excitement surrounding Carpenter and her discography has only grown, thanks in part to her ongoing Short N' Sweet Tour.
Despite its success, "Espresso" once again fails to claim the No. 1 spot on a handful of rankings as it soars on multiple charts in the U.K.
"Espresso" Returns to the Official Vinyl Singles Chart
This week, "Espresso" reappears on the Official Vinyl Singles chart, where it is forced to settle for the runner-up spot. The tally is currently dominated by "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," performed by Rachel Zegler, the star of the current revival of Evita on the West End. The track, originally composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber – who is credited as an artist on the recording – blocks Carpenter from reaching the top.
"Espresso" launched at No. 2 on the Official Vinyl Singles ranking back in June 2024. In the year and a half it has spent on the tally, Carpenter's cut has collected 17 appearances inside the top 10, but it has never managed to rise to the summit.
"Don't Cry for Me Argentina" Leads Several Charts
Carpenter also misses out on sending "Espresso" to No. 1 on the Official Physical Singles chart for the first time, as that list is likewise led by "Don't Cry for Me Argentina." Unlike on the vinyl ranking, however, "Espresso" doesn't return, because it was already present last frame, down at No. 45. This time around, it rockets more than 40 places to No. 2, a slot it has now owned five times.
"Espresso" Surges Across Multiple Charts
"Espresso" breaks back onto three of the six U.K.-based charts it appears on this week. In addition to the vinyl tally, the global smash reenters the Official Singles Sales ranking at No. 12 and the Official Singles Downloads list at No. 82.
The tune climbs to No. 46 on the main ranking of the 100 most-consumed songs in the country at the same time. It drops slightly on the streaming roster, but still maintains a spot inside the top 40.
Multiple Sabrina Carpenter Hits Return to the U.K. Charts
"Espresso" is one of six singles by Carpenter that currently appear on the U.K. charts. Several of those return to at least one tally, including "Juno," "Please Please Please," and "Nonsense,' as all of them have become bestselling hits once again.
