'Most songs are chop?' Anticipation derails as Sabrina Carpenter's Man's Best Friend leaks just hours before official release

Set to officially drop worldwide on Friday, August 29, anticipation for Sabrina Carpenter’s seventh studio album has been feverish. Ever since the release of the lead single Manchild and the announcement of Man's Best Friend, fans have been desperate to hear the full project and uncover the star-studded collaborations behind it. Sabrina even gave 78 lucky fans in New York, LA, and London a first listen - but for the rest of the world, the album remained a tantalizing mystery… until now.
