P!nk's new Masterpiece 'Trustfall' lands atop the United World Chart, scoring 166,000 equivalent sales in its first week! It's the world's best-selling album of the past week after debuting at #1 in Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Scotland, Switzerland and the UK! The highest sales were generated in the United States with 74,500 sales (according to Billboard / Luminate) and 37,600 in United Kingdom (according to OCC)! Trustfall is Pink's ninth studio album, and was released on February 17, 2023, via RCA Records. It's the Superstar's first studio album since 'Hurts 2B Human' (2019). Pink worked on the production and lyrics with Fred Again, David Hodges, Max Martin, Johnny McDaid and Shellback. The Lumineers, Chris Stapleton and First Aid Kit feature as guests vocalists. Lyrically, Trustfall contains themes of self-motivation, self-acceptance, vulnerability, spirituality, afterlife, loss and love. In an interview with Billboard, Pink explained the meaning of the album and the recording process: "The sequencing of this album was really important to me, in case someone does listen to it from start to finish. Because life is like this to me, it’s an emotional roller coaster and it’s a journey, and this album is that. [...] But that’s not life. Life is messy and beautiful and messy again. [...] It was three years in the making. "Lost Cause" and "Never Gonna Not Dance Again" were the two album-starters. And "Never Gonna Not Dance Again" was my reaction to adrenal fatigue, cortisol, stress. It was like, "If the world’s ending and we’re sliding sideways off our axis, I’m gonna get my roller skates. Let’s take a cocktail class online! What are we doing?" So those songs on the record were a reaction to, "I can’t care all the time. I also need to feel joy, and let that s–t run off my back." The album debuted at #1 on the UK Albums Chart with over 65% in physical sales, becoming Pink's fourth album and her third consecutive to do so, following 'Beautiful Trauma' (2017) and ''Hurts 2B Human' (2019). The album also debuted at #2 on the Official UK Vinyl Albums Chart. In Australia, the album debuted at #1 on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart, becoming her 7th #1 album in the country and 10th in total of her career.
