Pink and Beautiful Trauma on track for the year’s best-selling week for a female artist

Kurt IswarienkoIt seems like a lot of fans are happy Pink‘s back.

The singer’s new album, Beautiful Trauma, her first album of original solo material since 2012’s The Truth About Love, is on track for a big #1 debut on the Billboard album chart.  Experts predict that the album will enter the chart with first-week sales of more than 300,000 units.  That would be the biggest sales week of 2017 so far for any album by a woman.

So far, 2017’s biggest sales week for a woman has been 180,000 units, courtesy of Katy Perry‘s Witness.  The last time a woman sold over 300,000 units in a week was in 2016, when Beyonce’s Lemonade moved 321,000 units in its second chart week.

According to Billboard, Beautiful Trauma’s sales are being helped by the fact that anyone who bought a ticket to Pink’s upcoming tour also received a copy of the album.
