Sabrina Carpenter scores second Billboard No. 1 with 'Manchild'
The track debuted atop the chart on Monday, marking another major milestone in Carpenter's rapidly rising music career.
'Manchild' is the lead single from her upcoming seventh studio album, Man's Best Friend, and follows her breakout hit 'Please Please Please,' which also topped the Hot 100 in June 2024. According to Billboard, 'Manchild' debuted with 27.1 million streams and 20,000 units sold in its first week.
Carpenter dethroned Alex Warren's 'Ordinary' after its two-week run at No. 1. With this early success, 'Manchild' is already being considered a strong contender for 2025's song of the summer, following the viral success of her 2024 smash hit, 'Espresso.'
The track's release also arrives amid online buzz surrounding the provocative album artwork for Man's Best Friend and Carpenter's recent Rolling Stone cover, where she addressed criticism over her sexualized image. 'It's always funny to me when people complain,' she told the magazine. 'You're the ones who made these songs popular.'
Elsewhere on the chart, Morgan Wallen and Tate McRae's 'What I Want' dropped to No. 3, while Kendrick Lamar and SZA's former chart-topper 'Luther' held at No. 5.
On the Billboard 200, Wallen's I'm The Problem remained at No. 1, edging out Lil Wayne's Tha Carter VI debut. K-pop group Enhyphen and TikTok star Addison rounded out the Top 5 with strong debuts.

Alex Warren continues chart momentum as Rosé duet gains radio traction
Alex Warren's single Ordinary remains at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for a fourth consecutive week, supported by strong streaming numbers and widespread radio play. In parallel, his latest release On My Mind, a collaboration with BLACKPINK's Rosé, is beginning to chart its own course. The track, released on June 27, has been named the most-added song at Hot Adult Contemporary radio for the week, with 33 US stations adding it to their playlists, according to Mediabase. It is also scheduled to impact pop radio formats beginning July 1. On My Mind features acoustic instrumentation and dual vocals from Warren and Rosé, and serves as the third single from Warren's upcoming debut album, You'll Be Alright, Kid, which is slated for release on July 18. Warren gained attention earlier this year when Ordinary became his breakout hit. The track topped several major charts globally, including the Billboard Global 200 and UK Singles Chart, and has since received platinum certification. The new duet marks a continued expansion of his musical collaborations and genre reach. As both songs gain traction, Warren's upcoming album is expected to draw further interest upon its release.

Country artist Gavin Adcock publicly criticized Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter during a recent concert, expressing frustration that the Grammy-winning album currently ranks above his own on the Apple Music country albums chart. In footage shared online, Adcock addressed the crowd, referencing the chart rankings where Cowboy Carter sits at No. 3 while his own project, My Own Worst Enemy, is at No. 4. 'One of them's Beyoncé — you can tell her we're coming for her f—in' a–,' he told fans, who responded with loud cheers. He followed up with a pointed statement: 'That sh– ain't country music and it ain't ever been country music.' Later, on Instagram, Adcock expanded on his comments. He acknowledged Beyoncé's talent, citing childhood memories of her music, but stood by his belief that Cowboy Carter doesn't belong in the country genre. 'It doesn't sound country, it doesn't feel country,' he said. 'People who dedicate their lives to this genre shouldn't have to compete with it just because she's Beyoncé.' It ain't country — Gavin Adcock Music (@GavinAdcock) June 30, 2025 Cowboy Carter, released in 2024, has achieved major milestones, including topping the Billboard 200, winning Album of the Year and Best Country Album at the 2025 Grammys, and spending weeks at No. 1 on the Top Country Albums and Hot Country Songs charts. The album features a diverse group of artists, including Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, and Black country trailblazer Linda Martell. Billboard has reached out to Beyoncé's representatives for comment. Meanwhile, Adcock continues to promote his upcoming album and will join Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem Tour in July.
