Sabrina Carpenter's 'Taste' sets a new record in the UK

Sabrina Carpenter is on fire! The pop superstar has just broken the record for spending the most weeks at number 1 in a single year on the Official UK Singles Chart, proving she really is in a league of her own.

Their hit single “Taste” has now spent seven consecutive weeks at the top in the UK, and when you add that to the No. 1 runs of their previous singles “Espresso” (seven non-consecutive weeks) and “Please Please Please”, (five non-consecutive weeks), the little pop star has officially spent 19 weeks at No. 1 in 2024.

This makes her the artist with the most weeks at number 1 in the UK in a single year – ever!

This isn't just any record – Sabrina has now overtaken the legendary Olivia Newton-John, who held the record at No. 1 for 16 weeks in 1978.

And if that wasn't enough, she's tied with Ed Sheeran for the most weeks at No. 1 in a single year this century. Sheeran also celebrated week 19 in 2021 with tracks like “Bad Habits,” “Shivers” and his Christmas collaborations with Elton John and LadBaby.

“Taste” is proving irresistible, racking up over 6 million streams this week alone, making it the most streamed song in the UK for the seventh year in a row. She's tied with Noah Kahan's Stick Season as the longest-running No. 1 of 2024, and with no major competition in sight, Sabrina's reign could extend even further.

Things get interesting elsewhere on the charts. Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars' mid-career hit “Die With A Smile” is booming, climbing to a brand new peak at #3. It's their highest-charting song in the UK for years and proves they've still got it.

Meanwhile, Gigi Perez scores her first-ever Top 10 hit with “Sailor Song,” which climbs five spots to No. 6 this week and is getting plenty of buzz along the way.

Sonny Fodera, Jazzy and DOD's summer anthem “Somedays” is still heating up, jumping up two places to reach number 8, while Gracie Abrams moves closer to her first UK top 10 with “I Love You, I”. I’m sorry,” which jumps eight places to No. 11.

Chappell Roan's “Pink Pony Club” also makes progress, rising four places to No. 13.

Not to be outdone, KSI and Trippie Redd are making a splash with their latest single, “Thick Of It,” which debuts at No. 14, making it KSI's 19th Top 40 single and Trippie Redd's second. Meanwhile, Addison Rae continues her rise in the pop world as her track 'Diet Pepsi' climbs seven places to number 15, marking her first top 20 hit in the UK.

Rounding out the top 20 is a strong return from Coldplay with “FeelsLikeImFallingInLove,” which returns to the charts at number 18 after a 13-week absence thanks to the release of their new project Moon music. Her track “We Pray” also reached a new peak at number 20.

With three massive No. 1 hits and a record 19 weeks at the top, Sabrina Carpenter is officially unstoppable. Her taste good Because the chart dominance shows no signs of slowing down, and it's clear that 2024 will be its year.

The question now is: Can anyone knock them off the top?
