Sabrina Carpenter and Fruitcake Breakthrough on Billboard
Sabrina Carpenter is celebrating the holiday season as her Christmas album, Fruitcake, is projected to reach a new peak of #10 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Fruitcake has already sold an estimated 51,000 units. This marks a significant milestone for the pop singer whose music resonates with fans, even when performing classic Christmas carols.

This holiday album is on track to reach the success of other music in her discography, like Short n’ Sweet and Emails I Can’t Send. Fruitcake‘s popularity can be attributed to the album’s strategic rollout, which included engaging social media campaigns, live performances, and exclusive merch tied to the record’s festive theme.
