Please Please Please remained at number one on this week’s chart, while Espresso’s previous single held onto number two
Sabrina Carpenter, the American singer with the two biggest hits of the summer, has broken the Beatles’ record in the UK charts, according to the Official Charts Company.
The Pennsylvania star has become the first female artist to hold both the number one and two spots in the UK singles chart for three consecutive weeks, according to the BBC.
The Please Please Please remained at number one on this week’s chart, while her previous single Espresso took second place.
The Beatles had achieved the same feat in the 1960s. More recently, Justin Bieber spent four weeks in the top two spots in 2015, while Ed Sheeran topped the charts for five weeks on two occasions in 2017.
Despite being in second place, Espresso actually recorded slightly more listens (7.1m) in the final week than Please Please Please (7m).
Both songs will be included on Carpenter’s upcoming album Short ‘n Sweet, due out in August.
The only other female artists to hold the number one and two positions on the charts at the same time are Madonna (in 1985) and Ariana Grande (2019). But Carpenter is the first to do it for three consecutive weeks.
The video for Please Please Please, starring Carpenter’s boyfriend, actor Barry Keoghan, has so far amassed more than 44 million views on YouTube, while Espresso has nearly double that number.
