Sabrina Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend Becomes the Biggest Female Album Debut of 2025

If you didn’t wake up this morning with mascara-smear cheeks because of “Tears,” then you are just not living in 2025. Sabrina Carpenter has just released her seventh studio album, Man’s Best Friend, and it’s literally taking over the world.

“Tears” Dominates the Charts

Her lead single, “Tears,” wasn’t released, but it stormed the Spotify global charts at 2 a.m., like a drunken bridesmaid demanding the aux cord. With 9.295 million plays on opening day, Sabrina has just scored the largest debut of a female artist’s song on Spotify this year. Let that sink in. One sorrowful little pop song about heartbreak beat the serotonin levels of my entire twenties.

These are the top debuts of 2025 so far:

• Playboi Carti’s EVIL J0RDAN 9.52M

• Sabrina Carpenter’s Tears 9.25

• Chappell Roan’s The Subway 8.35M

• Justin Bieber’s DAISIES 8.35M

• Sabrina Carpenter’s Manchild 8.05M

Yeah, Sabrina is technically one step from knocking Playboi Carti’s devil cosplay song off the throne. And honestly? I wish she’d take another step.

Man’s Best Friend: The Album Which Barks Louder Than It Bites

The album itself debuted with 64.4 million streams on Spotify, the largest opening for a female album in 2025. Read that again. Bigger than Taylor. Bigger than Ariana. Bigger than your favorite niche indie boys with their ironic mustaches and broken guitars.

It’s official: Sabrina Carpenter is not that Disney girl with a side bang anymore. She is the world’s most streamed artist of all time now. On the 29th of August, the world Spotify chart looked like this:

• KPop Demon Hunters Cast (don’t ask, just stan)

If you’ve ever doubted her power, this is your permission to get in touch via email, as I cannot send vinyl and deal with the new order of hierarchy.

Pop Princess Turns into Pop Dictator

This is larger than numbers. “Tears” is a chart-topper, but it is a statement period. Sabrina Carpenter is no longer the pop princess standing at the castle door, but she is the gate. She IS the velvet rope. She IS the bouncer that is saying to you, “Sorry, babe, not tonight.” Taylor Swift still owns the stadiums, but Sabrina just owned the streams (until October 3rd). And come 2025, where streams translate into dollars, Carpenter is pop’s newest billionaire monarch.
