Sabrina Carpenter Tops Billboard 200, Receives Support from Nicki Minaj

Sabrina Carpenter's album 'Short N’ Sweet' has topped the Billboard 200 chart, narrowly outselling Travis Scott's 'Days Before Rodeo' by just 1,000 units, an event that drew parallels to Nicki Minaj's previous chart battle with Scott in 2018. In a show of support, Nicki Minaj sent Carpenter a bouquet of white roses, expressing her appreciation for Carpenter's achievement, which Carpenter shared on Instagram, thanking Minaj and her fans, the Barbz. The competition stirred some controversy among Scott's fans, who speculated about potential foul play, but these claims remain unverified. This victory marks a significant milestone for Carpenter as it is her first album to reach the top of the Billboard 200, while also coinciding with her achieving three songs in the top five of the Hot 100. Minaj openly supported Carpenter throughout the sales battle, urging her fans to back Carpenter's album, reinforcing their camaraderie. The supportive gestures and shared history suggest a strong bond between the two artists, potentially hinting at future collaborations.
