Pink may be in the midst of a two-year tour for 2017’s ‘Beautiful Trauma,’ but she’s just dropped a new album in the form of ‘Hurts 2B Human.’

Led by international hit ‘Walk Me Home,’ the set features contributions from the likes of Khalid and Chris Stapleton and is being hailed for being one of the singer’s strongest efforts in recent years.

And while it’s delivering on the critical front, attention now turns to its commercial performance.

Pink has lifted the lid on her 8th studio album ‘Hurts 2B Human.’

Led by international hit ‘Walk Me Home,’ the set arrives two years after ‘Beautiful Trauma’ – which spurned a massive like-titled tour.

The latter is still on-going and will roll into European stadiums this summer.

Speaking with Zane Lowe recently, the airborne singer revealed that the latest leg of the trek is being revamped with all-new jams from ‘Human’ – including ‘Home,’ ‘Can We Pretend,’ and its Khalid assisted title-track.

With a Staples Center-hosted homegoing affair followed by a procession through the streets of Los Angeles, slain rapper Nipsey Hussle took his final victory lap today as documented by a live streamed memorial service broadcast on BET, ET, CBS, and more respectively.

As the outpour of grief continued among his longtime supporters, fellow celebrities (in attendance at the ceremony and beyond), and more, some fans opted to honor his memory by supporting his latest effort – ‘Victory Lap.’  Just days ago Billboard reported the sales of the project (in the wake of initial reports of his death) were so strong they hoisted the set to a #2 position on this week’s Billboard 200.

Now, refreshed sales figures increased by coverage of his memorial service could see him grasp the top spot from current tenant, Billie Eilish, on next week’s tally.

Not even a year after first laying claim to the record of ‘most concurrent charting singles on the Hot 100’ with her blockbuster debut album, ‘Invasion of Privacy’ (as we reported here), Grammy-winning rapstress Cardi B saw the title snatched from her thanks to the out-of-the-box success of relative newcomer Billie Eilish.

The 17-year-old singer-songwriter soared to the top of the Billboard 200 this week with her debut studio album, ‘When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?,’ thanks to some jaw-dropping streaming numbers (194 million to be exact).  The collective figures of the project’s songs helped her earn a whopping 14 simultaneous placements on the singles chart.  Billboard reports:

Of the album’s 13 songs, 12 make the Hot 100 (the set’s final track, “Goodbye,” falls just shy), and are joined by additional tracks “Lovely,” with Khalid, and “Ocean Eyes.”

As we raise a glass to the Los Angeles-native, look inside to see who join her and Cardi in the top 25 this week on the Hot 100:
