- Sabrina Carpenter released her hit track, Espresso, a year ago
- And the song has officially stayed within the Billboard Hot 100 for a full 52 weeks
- However, Espresso is now in danger of being removed from the chart – thanks to a rule from Billboard
Sabrina Carpenter saw her career skyrocket last year – when she released her hit track, Espresso.
And while the song has never reached the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100, Carpenter, 25, has achieved a rare milestone for the song – as it has officially spent a whole year in the charts.
As of this week, Espresso has now spent 52 periods on the Hot 100 – which is an extremely uncommon accomplishment for any artist.
And while it may be easy to think that the caffeinated hit has slipped to the very bottom of the charts, that’s simply not true – as Carpenter saw her track climb from number 20, to number 17 just this week.
Espresso may be removed from charts
However, fans will be disappointed to hear that Espresso may not be on the charts for much longer – thanks to a recurrent rule from Billboard.
The guideline dictates that after a song spends 52 weeks on the ranking, it can only remain if it lands at No. 25 or higher.
Should it dip below that position at any point, it’s automatically removed, and returning becomes incredibly difficult.
And while Espresso peaked at number three, as previously mentioned, its popularity means it is still within the top 20 – so is in perilous danger of being kicked off!
Sabrina Carpenter releases coffee-filled records
Although its removal would be a sad day for Carpenter’s fans, they have had enough coffee to last them a lifetime – and the pop star thanked them for their support with a very fitting gesture.
Carpenter released a run of coffee-filled vinyl records (yes, you read that correctly!).
Filled with a brown coffee-like liquid, the clear single discs were launched in partnership with Blood Records.
The company specializes in creative custom vinyls (such as the viral white powder-filled edition of Charli XCX’s Brat remix album that dropped in January).
However, fans needed an energy-boosting shot of espresso if they wanted to get their hands on one of the records.
Only 1000 copies were pressed – and according to Carpenter, they’re already all gone.
“Sold out before I could post but,” the Taste singer wrote with a couple of heart-eye emojis on Instagram Stories, reposting Blood Records’ video of the product.
