Talented US Singer, Sabrina Carpenter has broken a UK chart record, according to the Official Charts Company.
The Pennsylvania-born star has become the first female artist to hold both the number one and number two positions on the singles chart for three consecutive weeks.
'Please Please Please' remained in the top spot on this week's chart, while her previous single Espresso held on at number two.
The Beatles achieved the same feat in the 1960s, scoring the chart double twice.
More recently, Justin Bieber scored four weeks in the top two slots in 2015, while Ed Sheeran notched up five weeks on two occasions in 2017.
Despite being in second place, Espresso recorded slightly more streams (7.1m) in the last week than Please Please Please (7m).
Both songs will feature on Carpenter’s forthcoming album Short ‘n Sweet, set to be released in August.
The only other female artists to have held the number one and two spots simultaneously are Madonna (in 1985) and Ariana Grande (2019). But Carpenter is the first to do so for three consecutive weeks.
The video for Please Please Please, starring Carpenter's boyfriend, actor Barry Keoghan, has so far attracted more than 44 million views on YouTube, while Espresso has almost twice as many.
Also on this week's singles chart, Missouri singer Chappell Roan scored her first top five hit, after her single Good Luck, Babe! rose to number four.
