12 years in, Pink notches first No. 1 albumExcuse us while we raise our glasses to Pink - the singer has just scored her first No. 1 album with her newest release, "The Truth About Love." Billboard reports that the new Cover Girl's record sold 280,000 in its first week, taking first place on the Billboard 200 albums chart. This marker of success has been a long time coming for the hit-maker.
While she's landed in the top 10 on the Hot 100 with anthems like "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)," "Raise Your Glass" and "F****n' Perfect," "The Truth About Love" is her first No. 1 album since she arrived on the Billboard 200 chart more than 12 years ago. Her last strong debut week was with 2001's "M!ssundaztood," which entered at No.6, according to Billboard. With her first No. 1, Pink also sold more albums than anticipated. Industry observers were initially estimating that "Truth About Love" would open somewhere between 220,000 and 230,000. |

He really should spend time with pink and get to know her..its a better route for him once in awhile
Well number 1 in America, what about the rest of the world? I'm fairly certain she's had no 1 albums in the UK and Australia and elsewhere. But good to see the US recognising she has talent.
How do you measure album sales today? I mean aren't music stores a thing of the past? Is is by download?
Was hoping this would happen and it did! So haappy and proud of Ms. Moore. Just bought my tix to see her in San Jose 2-18-13. Can't wait to see her live for the first time!!!
strong woman...doesn't give a crap about what anyone thinks of her. i like her.
It's always great to see someone who is actually talented hit number 1.
A truly talented young woman finally gets the accolades she rightly deserves.
Talented, yes. Hot, yes. Young ... not so much.
doesn't care about young or old.
most are on their way to her age also...once you hit 40 your not young.

I love when she sings this song:
I'm goin' up the country, baby don't you want to go?
I'm goin' up the country, baby don't you want to go?
I'm goin' to some place where I've never been before
I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine
I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
All this fussin' and fightin' man, you know I sure can't stay
Now, baby pack your leavin' trunk
You know we've got to leave today
Just exactly where we're goin' I cannot say
But we might even leave the U.S.A.
'Cause it's a brand new game and I want to play
No use in your runnin', or screamin' and cryin'
'Cause you got a home as long as I've got mine
good to hear..she has a terrific voice.
That's weird. I would have thought one of her albums would have done this before.
