Sabrina Carpenter Reveals Debut Album Limited to 200 Vinyls by Hollywood Records

Sabrina Carpenter recently revealed she was shocked to learn that only 200 vinyl copies of her debut album 'Eyes Wide Open' were produced by her former label, Hollywood Records, primarily distributed to record executives, and she never received a copy herself. In a candid interview with Canadian personality Nardwuar, Carpenter humorously expressed frustration that the label "really didn’t give a f*** about me," highlighting the lack of support she experienced early in her career. Despite these challenges, her move to Island Records in 2017 provided her with greater creative freedom and strategic backing, leading to significant success including two No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 and a Grammy win. The interview also showcased Carpenter’s musical influences and her growth as an artist, from a young fan of Taylor Swift to a confident pop star unafraid to push boundaries with her recent work. Fans and critics alike have noted her impressive evolution and resilience, applauding her journey from limited label support to selling out arenas and receiving critical acclaim. The story underscores Carpenter’s perseverance in overcoming industry obstacles to establish herself as a prominent figure in pop music.
