With the release of Short n’ Sweet, Sabrina Carpenter is taking over this week’s Billboard Philippines Hot 100 (dated September 7, 2024).

The release of her sixth studio album marked a major turning point in the 25-year-old’s storied career, with the record reaching the No. 1 spot on the global Billboard 200 chart.

Inclusive of the three tracks on this week’s Top 10, Carpenter has a whopping total of seven tracks that encompass the majority of the eleven-track album on the charts. With this, we’ve compiled a list of these tracks for you to listen to and take a deep dive with, given that it’s these tracks that represent the favorite picks off the record for Carpenter’s Filipino audience. Check them out below.


Please, Please, Please

At No. 5 on the Top 10 of the Philippines Hot 100 is Sabrina Carpenter’s second single off the album, “Please, Please, Please.” The Jack Antonoff-produced earworm still remains fresh even after multiple listens, which reflects well with the track’s consistent placement within the Top 10 of the Philippine charts since its inception. The catchy hook of the song’s chorus leaves a lasting impression on its listeners, which further proves just how many Filipinos have been entranced by the pop star’s charm.

Espresso

As one of 2024’s undisputed ‘Songs of the Summer,’ Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” is an unsurprising entry on this particular list. The track has enraptured listeners from all around the world (accumulating over one billion streams across various platforms), yet it has consistently held a strong impression on her Filipino ‘Carpenters.’ It’s placement at No. 7 on the Philippines Hot 100 reflects its resonance to the Philippine audiences well past the period of summer time.

Taste

The opening track to Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet lands at the No. 10 spot of the Philippines Hot 100 on its first week, making a strong impression upon Filipino listeners for its debut chart entry. Aside from being a strong opener to the record, the marketing and promotion of “Taste” is also effective in solidiifying the track as the hit track that it is — with special credit given to its comical yet cinematic music video featuring actress Jenna Ortega.

Good Graces

Sabrina Carpenter’s “Good Graces” makes it debut at No. 44 — looping listeners in with its upbeat and easy-listening nature that is akin to a catchy K-pop song. Aside from the album’s three official singles, the track is already one of the most popular tracks off the record, with millions of fans already listing it as one of the best songs from Short n’ Sweet. With its growing reputation, don’t be surprised to see the track on the Philippines Hot 100 over the next few weeks.

Bed Chem

The sultry yet silky-smooth “Bed Chem” jumps on the Philippines Hot 100 at No. 52, standing as one of the many examples of Sabrina Carpenter’s irresistible charm with her Filipino listeners. Blending together the genres of R&B with the shimmery type of pop, it’s recognition as one of the strongest tracks from Short n’ Sweet is undoubtedly well deserved — making it a very welcome entry on the Billboard Philippines chart.

Juno

Perhaps one of the best tracks off Short n’ Sweet, the country-tinged “Juno” makes a strong entry on the Billboard Philippines Hot 100 at the No. 58 position. The strong hook of its chorus perfectly blends with its fantastic bridge, making it a track that is worth multiple listens to dissect upon with ever track play. For sure, the song’s recognition as a fan favorite is well deserved and likely to stay on the Hot 100 chart for quite some time.

Sharpest Tool

At No. 92 on the Philippines Hot 100, “Sharpest Tool” is the last track from Short n’ Sweet to make it onto the Billboard Philippines charts. The somber and confessional tone of the track features vulnerable lyricism that displays Carpenter, Antonoff, and Amy Allen’s writing strengths — making it a heart-wrenching track that fits with the hugot aspect that Filipino listeners love to imbibe.
