Carpenter celebrated her first No. 1 on the Hot 100 with “Please Please Please,” which topped the chart on June 29.
The pop star took to Instagram to share the news, posting a three-item carousel featuring the Hot 100 graphic, and a video of her performing the song’s signature claps with co-writer and producer Jack Antonoff, co-writer Amy Allen, and engineer Laura Sisk.
“MY FIRST #1 on the @billboard HOT 100!!!!!!!” reads Carpenter’s caption. “And espresso at #4.. I’m very immensely grateful so i will surely always remember this day for the rest of my life! @jackantonoff @amyallen i deeply love this song and i love you both!!!!! I love our pitchy claps!!!!!

Currently, Carpenter boasts the top song in the world, as “Espresso” rebounds for a third week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart and brews up an eighth week atop the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. survey.
Notably, “Espresso” ties for the longest command on Global Excl. U.S. this year, matching the No. 1 run of Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things.”
