Sabrina Carpenter performs on the Coachella Stage during the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California, in April 2024.

If you haven't heard "Espresso" by Sabrina Carpenter, then, honestly that's impressive at this point. The track, which was the most-streamed song on Spotify in 2024 with more than 1.6 billion streams, has become ubiquitous since it dropped in April as the lead single for Carpenter's most recent album, Short n' Sweet.
