To kick things off, Sabrina Carpenter dropped her highly anticipated sixth studio album, Short n’ Sweet.
The project features previously released singles “Espresso” and her Billboard Hot 100 chart topper “Please Please Please.” Along with the album release, Carpenter also dropped the thriller-inspired music video for “Taste,” starring Wednesday actress Jenna Ortega.

Meanwhile, Lainey Wilson unveiled Whirlwind, which features 14 tracks, including standout singles “4x4xU” and “Ring Finger.” “For this, it had to be quality over quantity. I couldn’t write 200 songs to get to my 14 [songs on Whirlwind]. I had to map out what I want to share, where do I want to get vulnerable, and really figure out the message I want to bring,” she told Billboard about the writing process for Whirlwind.

Coldplay teamed up with Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna and TINI for “We Pray.” The group is gearing up to release their 10th studio album, Moon Music, which is set to drop on Oct. 4 and and is led by LP’s first single, “feelslikeimfallinginlove.” They’re also currently in the midst of their massive Music of the Spheres World Tour. According to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, the run has grossed $945.7 million and sold 8.8 million tickets since launching in March 2022.
