Liafen Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 LGBT acrobat P!nk's ninth studio album debuted at the UK Album Charts summit with sales of 37,570 copies (21,168 CDs, 3,300 vinyl albums, 332 cassettes, 7,126 digital downloads, and 5,644 sales-equivalent streams). Whereas Global Legend Beyoncé and her very successful album, Renaissance debuted with 31,064 (5,122 CDs, 2,772 vinyl albums, 3,356 digital downloads and 19,814 sales-equivalent streams) copies last year. That's more than a 20% difference in total and a 183% difference in pure sales (31,926 vs. 11,250). Why is P!nk such a massive force in the UK, outselling legends easily like that? Discuss and keep it qt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doogle Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Middle aged women in the UK love P!nk. Every Karen with the same hair cut, picture the worst manager you’ve ever had (I worked at Home Bargains so trust i had this too) People under 40 don’t buy albums but stream Bey and go to her concerts tho Both huge there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Monday Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Let's see if people are still discussing P!nk's album the way ATRL talks about any of Beyoncé's albums next year, or better yet in 6 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotunda Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I mean the math is in the post. P!nk seems to have a larger dedicated older fanbase that buys physicals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prézli Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Look who opened this thread. P!nk was always bigger than Beyoncé in Europe. Beyoncé's last hit in here was Sweet Dreams or Halo (Idk which was released first), I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyle1911 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Then why don’t you compare their stream numbers. Not to mention Bey didn’t even bother to promote the album. Pink has been everywhere and she’s promoting a new album + tour at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainsskyscrapers Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Why do people do this to themselves? When she starts cartwheeling (down the charts) in a few weeks' time as no single has broken through the noise, and this thread is woken up.... it won't be a good look.

Otter Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I suspect Renaissance physicals were very understocked in the UK but it could just be that Bey's audience leans more towards streams and P!nk CDs. Either way, it is surprising. Renaissance's UK performance has been weird considering the market is where she's performed best single wise, but it's not translating into great album sales for whatever reason. Could be damage done from the last 2 side projects. Anyway all the more reason why it's important she supports the album with more singles through til the end of the summer.

Best to take pity OT P!nk ENDED Beylocal in the uk she’s always been bigger she must be selling out the same stadium more times than hasbeyn since she’s bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakult Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 P!nk promoted and has been a bigger UK radio force for the past decade. Plus P!nk had multiple physical formats while Beyoncé didn’t have a vinyl available release week (the vinyl numbers were pre-orders from her website that had long sold out). All of the above combined with an older fan base who buy physical equal higher sales despite Beyoncé’s streams being nearly 4x higher (exc the most popular songs off an album as per UK album chart rules).

Their ages don’t have to do with their fanbases lol. P!nk has no appeal to the youth. Anyway, the math is in the OP, no one streamed the album and they bought it instead. Will it have the same longevity? Im thinking no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyonce: Cuff It No.5 BMS No.2 P!nk: Trustfall No.14 So far Beyonce's era is definitely bigger than P!nks, but credit where credit is due with P!nk being able to sell more physicals. Rennie will probably have better legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
