(Reuters) — Pop star Pink soared to the top of the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart on Monday (Oct. 23) with one of the year’s biggest album sales debut, beating out new albums from rapper Gucci Mane and rocker Beck.
“Beautiful Trauma,” Pink’s seventh studio album, sold 408,000 album units in its first week. This comprised of sales from albums and songs and streaming consumption, according to figures from Nielsen SoundScan.
The strong first week sales is the biggest debut for a female artist this year and the fourth biggest album debut of 2017, coming in behind Kendrick Lamar’s “Damn,” Drake’s “More Life” and Ed Sheeran’s “Divide.”
The Billboard 200 chart tallies units from album sales, song sales (10 songs equal one album) and streaming activity (1,500 streams equal one album).
