Carpenter becomes just the third woman to chart at least three songs in the Hot 100’s top five simultaneously, after Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande. The only other acts to log at least three entries in the top five simultaneously are The Beatles, 50 Cent, Justin Bieber, Drake and 21 Savage.
As “Taste,” “Please Please Please” and “Espresso” mark Carpenter’s first three top five Hot 100 hits, she becomes only the second act to ever chart her first three top five hits in the region simultaneously. She joins only The Beatles, who first tripled up on the chart dated March 7, 1964, with “I Want To Hold Your Hand,” “She Loves You” and “Please Please Me” at Nos. 1, 2 and 4, respectively.
With 10 debuts, Carpenter ups her count to 15 career Hot 100 entries. Along with “Espresso” and “Please Please Please,” she previously charted with “Feather” (No. 21 peak in April), “Nonsense” (No. 56, 2023) and “Skin” (No. 48, 2021).
Plus, with 13 Hot 100 entries in 2024, Carpenter ties Grande for the third-most among women, after Swift (36; the most among all acts) and Beyoncé (23).
