Sabrina Carpenter’s latest career milestone has fans celebrating and critics fuming.
The Espresso hitmaker’s seventh album Man’s Best Friend, has officially been certified platinum just under three months after its August 29 release.
However, instead of universal applause, the achievement has ignited a heated debate across social media.
While Sabrina’s supporters flooded platforms with congratulations, praising the certification as “well-deserved” and “long overdue,” not everyone shared the enthusiasm. A wave of skeptical netizens chimed in, accusing the industry of playing favorites
“Man’s Best Friend? More like the industry’s favorite daughter,” one user wrote, sparking a thread of favoritism accusations. Others were far more blunt:
“Not deserved.”
“These teenagers’ music taste sucks!”
“The worst album in existence getting certified platinum.”
Some even questioned the numbers altogether, with one confused commenter writing, “BUT I HEARD THAT IT FLOPPED [gasping emoji]”
Despite the noise, the certification stands and so does Sabrina’s rapidly rising star. And whether fans love the album or love to hate it, one thing’s clear: Man’s Best Friend is still the topic everyone can’t stop talking about.
