The Billboard 200 will be glowing an electric shade of Pink this week because the superstar singer has topped the tally with new album ‘Beautiful Trauma.’
Find out how the numbers add up after the jump…
According to Hits Daily Double, the ‘What About Us’ led will open with:
407,000
[Sales Plus Streaming]
***********
384,000
[Pure Sales]
Interestingly, the much talked about tour ticket bundle added almost 200k to the total.
In any case, Pink now has the biggest debut of 2017 by a female artist, and the third biggest opening since streaming was added to the charts. She’s bested only by Adele (3.4m) and Beyonce (653k). What’s more, ‘Beautiful’ serves as the fourth largest (consumption) debut overall behind Kendrick Lamar, Drake and Ed Sheeran.
What else is there to say other than:
Didn’t expect her sales to be good! Congrats girl!
Seriously, i”m shocked. Wish she would do a little more Rnb like the first cd but love her
Congratulations for Pink!
Whatever the case a job well done and besides that her promotion game has been on point thus far. So kudos to you P!nk.
I have always liked Pink, she has a cool personality and is a good person, I also love the Like a Virgin inspired cover of the album, my favorite songs from her are “Just Like a Pill” and “Who Knew”. Her sales are great even without the tour ticket bundle in this disastrous music climate.
Your blind obsessive worship of madonna is hilarious. There’s isn’t one single hint of similarity to like a virgin anywhere on pink’s album cover, except the fact that they’re both white trash.
Not only are you racist but blind.

ha ! same 🙂
Hmmm….over half came from ticket bundling. Ok. Let’s see how big the drop will be next week.
I’m not saying this in a negative way… but some people try way too hard to find similarities. There’s nothing to look there.
Anyway… congratulations Pink. Her concerts are worth attending, she’s serving performance + live vocals. That’s how you do it.
This album is good for the ballads, the uptempos not really as far as I’m concerned. To each their own.
So . . . she woulda still sold almost 200k w/o the bundle. Impressive numbers either way.
A few other artists did tour bundles as well. What y’all don’t get is that you still have to redeem those albums. Two, she would have sold close to or around 200k without a top ten single. That is AMAZING! Thirdly, just because you do a tour bundle doesn’t mean that you will sale loads of albums. This is INCREDIBLE!!
Pink has the best pure sales this year
384,000
Kendrick 353k
Ed Sheeran 322k
Drake 202k
DAMNNNNNNNN She killed that!!!
226k for Drake
Sorry about that
She got those high ones. Pink went in with the impact on the charts.
Congrats to P!nk
She’s an actual sanger!! I’m a fan for sure!
Love how hypocritical this site is ! When Rihanna had 1.4 million people redeeming her album billboard didn’t count that and she got roasted alive on here for bad sales but the album went on to have 5 platinum singles 3 of which are multi platinum and is nearing 4.5 million sps! Smh
Truth.
I loved when Pink first came out, She was urban/R&B and her voice is nice. I ended up getting the CD, I guess LA Reid that so too.
