Pink's 'Beautiful Trauma' Bows at No. 1 on Billboard 200 With 2017's Biggest Debut for a Woman
Plus: Gucci Mane, Beck and St. Vincent debut in top 10.
As expected, P!nk claims her second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart with Beautiful Trauma, which starts atop the list with 2017's largest week for an album by a woman and the fourth-biggest week among all acts. It launches with a larger-than-expected 408,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Oct. 19, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 384,000 were in traditional album sales -- the best sales week of the year among all acts.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new Nov. 4-dated chart (where Beautiful Trauma debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard's websites on Tuesday (Oct. 24).
Beautiful Trauma is the pop singer-songwriter's second No. 1 album, following 2012's The Truth About Love (her last solo studio effort), which started atop the list with 280,000 copies sold (before the chart transitioned to a consumption-ranked list in late 2014). In total, Beautiful is P!nk's seventh top 10 effort.
Among all albums in 2017, in terms of weekly units earned, Beautiful Trauma trails only the debuts of Kendrick Lamar's DAMN. (603,000; chart dated May 6), Drake's More Life (505,000; April 8) and Ed Sheeran's ÷ (Divide) (451,000; March 25). P!nk's album has the biggest week by a woman since Beyoncé's Lemonade arrived at No. 1 with 652,000 units (May 14, 2016).
Further, Beautiful Trauma has the largest sales week among all albums since Drake's Views debuted with 852,000 copies sold (May 21, 2016).
Of Beautiful Trauma's overall unit start, 10,000 were in TEA units, while 13,000 were in SEA units. The set was overwhelmingly powered by traditional album sales: 384,000. Of that sum, 101,000 were digital albums, while 283,000 were physical CDs. (It sold another 1,000 on vinyl LP.)
Like so many other albums, Beautiful Trauma's debut frame was boosted by a concert ticket/album sale redemption promotion. The cost of the CD edition of the album was bundled into the purchase price of each ticket sold online to P!nk's upcoming 40-date U.S. and Canada tour. After purchasing a ticket, customers received (via email) a redemption offer for the album, where they could choose to redeem the CD and have it mailed to them. The only sales that count towards the charts are those albums that are redeemed by customers. Many ticket buyers never redeem the offer.
Nielsen Music does not break out specifically how much of any album's sales are generated by concert/ticket album bundle offers. However, CD sales from ticket bundles are categorized as Internet sales by the company, and Beautiful Trauma's Internet sales figure was 249,000. So, one can assume most of that number is from the ticket bundle -- minus a smallish amount (perhaps in the low five-figures) for traditional sales from Amazon and other web-based retailers.
Artists and record labels have increasingly turned to offering ticket/album bundles as a way to sell music, as the traditional retail landscape has changed dramatically in recent years, and as album sales continue to shrink. Not only are a growing number of fans turning to streaming in order to consume albums (instead of buying them), but the brick-and-mortar retailers that remain in business have dramatically reduced the number of titles they sell in stores (as well as the physical floor space for those albums). In turn, artists have found new ways to sell their music -- from selling them bundled with merchandise, to offering them with concert tickets.
Tickets for P!nk's tour went on sale Oct. 10 for American Express card members, and then to the general public on Oct. 13 (the same day as the album's release).
Because most ticket buyers usually take advantage of these ticket/album sale redemption offers in an album's first week of release, albums offered with a bundle tend to have a large debut frame -- but then fall hard in their second week when there are far fewer sales generated by the bundle. So far in 2017, the chart has seen a variety of No. 1-debuting albums enhanced by ticket bundle offers implode in their second frames. Shania Twain's Now tumbled from No. 1 to No. 29 in its second week, The Killers' Wonderful Wonderful fell 1-59, LCD Soundsystem's American Dream dropped 1-56, Arcade Fire's Everything Now collapsed 1-38, and so on.
P!nk's Beautiful Trauma was ushered in by the single "What About Us," which has so far peaked at No. 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 (the artist's 23rd top 40-charting effort), No. 3 on the Adult Pop Songs airplay chart, No. 13 on the Pop Songs airplay chart, and No. 10 on the all-genre Radio Songs chart.
To promote the album, P!nk was profiled on CBS' Sunday Morning (Oct. 8), and performed on NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (Oct. 12), NBC's Saturday Night Live (Oct. 14), and ABC's Good Morning America (Oct. 16).
At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, rapper Gucci Mane debuts with Mr. Davis, launching with 70,000 units (21,000 from traditional album sales). The set was powered by streams, as it racked up 46,000 SEA units (equaling 68.7 million streams of the songs on the album during its debut frame). Mr. Davis ties 2016's Everybody Looking as Gucci Mane's highest-charting album. Everybody Looking bowed with 68,000 units. Overall, Gucci Mane has logged 19 charting albums, with four of them reaching the top 10.
Alt-rock singer-songwriter Beck bows at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with his new album, Colors (46,000 units; 41,000 in traditional album sales). It's his sixth top 10 album, and follows Morning Phase (No. 3 in 2014; 87,000 copies sold in its first week -- before the chart became consumption-based), which won the Grammy Award for album of the year in 2015.
Post Malone's Stoney holds at its No. 4 high (45,000 units; up 1 percent), Lil Uzi Vert's Luv Is Rage 2 rises 7-5 (35,000 units; down 5 percent) and Ed Sheeran's ÷ (Divide) climbs 10-6 (33,000 units; up 1 percent). The latter album gets a boost from SEA and TEA units, as its latest single, "Perfect," continues to find success.
Imagine Dragons' Evolve ascends 9-7 (nearly 33,000; down 5 percent), A Boogie Wit da Hoodie's The Bigger Artist falls 6-8 (31,000; down 21 percent) and Lil Pump's self-titled album drops 3-9 in its second week (30,000; down 34 percent).
Closing out the top 10 is an artist who earns her first Billboard 200 top 10: St. Vincent, with Masseduction debuting at No. 10 (29,000 units; 25,000 in traditional album sales). The singer-songwriter previously peaked at No. 12 with her last album, her 2014 self-titled effort, which bowed with 29,000 copies sold (again, before the chart began ranking titles by units).

I'm glad for Pink. I'm not a fan of the ticket bundling system, but I guess even if all of those units were erased, her figure would still be pretty impressive.

When you get tickets to these concerts that include the choice to include the cd.
The cd is already set into the cost so it's free but not by choice???
So it's basically a free gift with purchase and it will count for a sale if you redeem your gift???

So it's basically a free gift with purchase and it will count for a sale if you redeem your gift??? yeah apparently cd price is included in ticket price. and soundscan require buyer's own will for sales, so label do redeem instead of just giving album to evryone. it's marketing scheme in a way. lol back in 2004, prince did it first, gave cheap physical version to evry ticket buyer. and every ticket just counted as sales. billboard got shook changed the rule. I think at the time, new rule was there must be option for ticket buyer to pay extra money for cd/digital albun but nobody did it so label came uo with this.. redeem thing. I wonder If all the ticket numbers are counted as shipment by riaa. but probably not. |

I remember the Prince ticket bundle controversy. lol I thought at one time if you wanted to include the cd it would be very cheap not basically free. Thanks. |

Sales have dropped really hard since 2014. Demi Lovato opened lower despite having what's probably the biggest hit of her career so far. Even Taylor Swift is likely gonna open significantly lower. 87k was decent but unremarkable in 2014; For a 2017 it would be an amazing number.

www.yahoo.com/music/chart-watch-pnk-years-top-album-debut-woman-200916807.htmlChart Watch: P!nk has the year's top album debut by a womanby Paul Grein, Yahoo Music October 23, 2017 P!nk‘s Beautiful Trauma moved 408K “equivalent units” in its first week, the largest tally for an album by a female artist so far this year. P!nk’s tally is topped by only three albums in 2017—Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN.(603K), Drake’s More Life (505K) and Ed Sheeran’s ÷ (451K). Since late 2014, when Billboard switched from a sales-only chart to a “consumption” chart which also factors in digital track sales and streaming activity, just two albums by female artists have gotten off to faster starts. Adele’s 25 debuted in December 2015 with a mind-boggling 3,482,000. Beyoncé’s Lemonade debuted in May 2016 with 653K. Beautiful Trauma is P!nk’s second No. 1 album in a row on the Billboard 200. She first topped the chart in October 2012 with The Truth About Love. This is P!nk’s seventh top 10 album. In addition, P!nk lands her 21st top 20 hit on the Hot 100 as “What About Us” leaps from No. 23 to No. 13 in its 11th week. P!nk first cracked the top 20 in March 2000 with “There You Go.” P!nk’s “equivalent units” tally includes traditional album sales of 384K. That’s the biggest tally for traditional album sales since Drake’s Views debuted with sales of 852K in May 2016. More than 200K of those sales came from a concert ticket/album sale redemption promotion. These “bundles” are an increasing factor in the album market. Here, Billboard‘s Keith Caulfield explains how it worked in P!nk’s case: “The cost of the CD edition of the album was bundled into the purchase price of each ticket sold online to P!nk’s upcoming 40-date U.S. and Canada tour. After purchasing a ticket, customers received (via email) a redemption offer for the album, where they could choose to redeem the CD and have it mailed to them. The only sales that count towards the charts are those albums that are redeemed by customers.” P!nk’s is by far the biggest bundle of the year. Beautiful Trauma also enters the Official U.K. Albums Chart at No. 1. It’s the third album by a female artist to become a transatlantic No. 1 in 2017. The first two were Lana Del Rey’s Lust for Life and Shania Twain’s Now. Beautiful Trauma is P!nk’s second No. 1 album in the U.K., following Funhouse (which peaked at No. 2 in the U.S. in November 2008.) Top AlbumsGucci Mane lands his fourth top 10 album as Mr. Davis debuts at No. 2. This is the rapper’s second album to climb as high as No. 2. He also debuted in the runner-up spot with Everybody Looking in August 2016. Beck lands his sixth consecutive top 10 album as Colors debuts at No. 3. That matches the entry (and peak) position of his previous studio album, Morning Phase (which went on to win a Grammy for Album of the Year). For all his success, Beck has yet to reach No. 1. His highest-charting album, Guero, debuted at No. 2 in April 2005. Post Malone’s Stoney holds at No. 4 in its 45th week. Lil Uzi Vert’s first full-length album, Luv Is Rage 2, rebounds from No. 7 to No. 5 in its eighth week. The album debuted at No. 1. Ed Sheeran’s ÷ rebounds from No. 10 to No. 6 in its 33rd week. The album spent its first two weeks at No. 1. Imagine Dragons’ Evolve rebounds from No. 9 to No. 7 in its 17th week. The album debuted and peaked at No. 2. A Boogie Wit da Hoodie’s debut album, The Bigger Artist, drops from No. 6 to No. 8 in its third week. The album debuted and peaked at No. 4. Lil Pump’s debut album, Lil Pump, drops from No. 3 to No. 9 in its second week. St. Vincent lands her first top 10 album as Masseduction debuts at No. 10. Her previous album, St. Vincent, peaked at No. 12 and won a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album. NF’s Perception drops from No. 1 to No. 25 in its second week. This is the sixth album so far this year to tumble from No. 1 out of the top 20 in its second week. This used to be a rare event. Now, it’s becoming commonplace. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ Greatest Hits drops from No. 2 to No. 17 in its 237th chart week. Greatest Hits holds at No. 1 on Top Catalog Albums for the fourth non-consecutive week. Two other albums drop out of the top 10 this week. Kane Brown’s Kane Brown drops from its No. 5 peak to No. 20. Marilyn Manson’s Heaven Upside Down plummets from No. 8 to No. 84. Robert Plant lands his 12th top 20 album as Carry Fire debuts at No. 14. Plant has had nearly as many top 20 albums under his own name as he did with Led Zeppelin (15). Wu-Tang lands its fourth top 20 album as The Saga Continues debuts at No. 15. Jessie James Decker’s Southern Girl City Lights debuts at No. 18. It enters Top Country Albums at No. 1, displacing Kane Brown’s Kane Brown. The Moana soundtrack drops from No. 31 to No. 33 in its 48th week. The album peaked at No. 2. It’s No. 1 on Top Soundtracks for the 26th week. Coming Attractions: Niall Horan’s first solo album, Flicker, is headed for No. 1 next week. Future and Young Thug’s mixtape, Super Slimey, is on track to hit No. 2. Also likely headed for top 10 debuts: Chris Young’sLosing Sleep and Darius Rucker’s When Was the Last Time.

Sales have dropped really hard since 2014. Demi Lovato opened lower despite having what's probably the biggest hit of her career so far. Even Taylor Swift is likely gonna open significantly lower. 87k was decent but unremarkable in 2014; For a 2017 it would be an amazing number. I'm well aware sales are down bigtime since 2014 but you'd think that he would add more than 5k with streams (especially what with Up All Night being top 10 on Alt. He did 46k SPS and 41k Pure... |

If that’s the case, do we need to make up a new word for what P!nk did? |

Billboard 200 Chart Moves: Adele's '25' Hits 100th Consecutive Week on Chart
News
By Keith Caulfield | October 27, 2017 9:59 PM EDT
On the latest Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Nov. 4), P!nk earns her second No. 1 album as her new effort, Beautiful Trauma, arrives atop the list with 408,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Oct. 19, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 384,000 were in traditional album sales -- P!nk’s biggest sales week ever.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the week’s most popular albums based on their overall consumption. That overall unit figure combines pure album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA).
Now, let’s take a closer look at some of the action on the latest Billboard 200 chart:
— Robert Plant, Carry Fire – No. 14 — The rock icon’s latest album, Carry Fire, starts at No. 14 and marks his 15th solo effort on the list. The Led Zeppelin frontman notched his first solo effort on the list a little more than 35 years ago, when Pictures at Eleven arrived on the list dated July 17, 1982 at No. 49 (it later peaked at No. 5 – his first of eight top 10 albums).
The new set launches with 25,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Oct. 19, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 24,000 were in traditional album sales.
— NF, Perception – No. 25 — NF’s Perception tumbles from No. 1 to No. 25 in its second week on the list -- the 12th album of 2017 to debut at No. 1 and then fall straight out of the top 10 in its second stanza. The rapper’s album declines by 68 percent in units earned (falling from 55,000 to 18,000), while tumbling 86 percent in sales (falling from 38,000 to 5,000).
Here’s a list of the dozen albums that debuted at No. 1 in 2017, and then dropped out of the top 10 in their second week:
Artist, Title — Positional Fall — Chart Date of Second Week
Logic, Everybody — 1-11 — June 3
Linkin Park, One More Light — 1-29 — June 17
Bryson Tiller, True to Self — 1-13 — June 24
Katy Perry, Witness — 1-13 — July 8
Lorde, Melodrama — 1-13 — July 15
Arcade Fire, Everything Now — 1-38 — Aug. 26
Brand New, Science Fiction — 1-97 — Sept. 16
LCD Soundsystem, American Dream — 1-56 — Sept. 30
Foo Fighters, Concrete and Gold — 1-17 — Oct. 14
The Killers, Wonderful Wonderful — 1-59 — Oct. 21
Shania Twain, Now — 1-29 — Oct. 28
NF, Perception — 1-25 — Nov. 4
— Dua Lipa, Dua Lipa - No. 63 — The pop singer-songwriter’s debut album hits a new chart high, as it climbs 75-63 (9,000 units; up 9 percent). The album is mostly driven by streaming equivalent album units (a little more than 6,000), thanks to the continuing growing popularity of its song “New Rules.” The track garnered 6.4 million on-demand audio streams in the latest tracking week (up 8 percent), while also climbing in 8 percent in overall radio audience (22.4 million in the week ending Oct. 22).
— Fleetwood Mac, Greatest Hits – No. 69 — Thanks to a $4.99 sale price in the iTunes Store during the tracking week, Fleetwood Mac’s Greatest Hits re-enters the chart at No. 69 (8,000 units; up 592 percent, with 5,000 copies sold; up 312 percent). It is one of a number of hits albums that see gains thanks to discount pricing in the iTunes Store. Other titles that benefit include: Guns N’ Roses’ Appetite for Destruction (a re-entry at No. 157 with 5,000 units; up 175 percent, with 2,000 sold; up 64 percent) and Lynyrd Skynrd’s All Time Greatest Hits (re-entry at No. 167 with 5,000 units; up 146 percent, with 2,000 sold; up 116 percent).
— Adele, 25 – No. 103 — The diva’s former No. 1 album, 25, spends its 100th consecutive week on the chart, as it rises 106-103 (7,000 units; up 1 percent). The album has yet to depart the tally since its debut at No. 1 (where it spent 10 non-consecutive weeks).
So far, 25 -- which was released on Nov. 20, 2015 through XL Recordings/Columbia Records -- has earned 10.88 million equivalent album units in the U.S., of which 9.4 million are in traditional album sales. It followed Adele’s second album, 21, which has earned 14.96 million units, with 11.87 million in album sales. (21, which ruled the list for 24 nonconsecutive weeks, has also never left the chart. It’s spending its 348th straight week on the list, dipping 174-181. It continues to extend its record as the longest charting album by a woman. Earlier in 2017, it beat Carole King's Tapestry for the most weeks on the chart by a woman.)
21 and 25 are also the Nos. 9 and 29 biggest selling albums since 1991, when Nielsen Music began electronically tracking album sales.
Adele’s first album, 19, has sold 3 million copies.
Collectively, her three studio efforts, along with two live iTunes-exclusive EPs, have sold 24.4 million copies in the U.S.
— Eminem, Recovery – No. 160 — Eminem becomes the first act to see three of his albums each spend at least 300 weeks on the chart, as his 2010 album Recovery collects its 300th week on the list (165-160). Both Curtain Call: The Hits (363 weeks, released in 2005) and The Eminem Show (342 weeks, released in 2002) have also reached the threshold.
— Dolly Parton, I Believe In You – No. 173 — The country legend’s latest album, I Believe In You, is also a children’s music record, and it jumps 11-3 on the Kid Albums chart. Over on the Top Country Albums chart, it debuts at No. 20, giving Parton her 78th entry on the tally.
