25 is no.13 on the UK album charts and P!nk's new album is no.1 for third week.

I thought she gained more Europe success during Truth About Love era but Missundaztood was big there too.

She’s been hugely successful here since Missundaztood. I’m Not Dead era was huge too.

Is that suppose to be some lame shade when ASIB spent MONTHS in the top 10 and is still in the top 20 more than 6 months since release? Guuurl...

There are 5 albums higer than ASIB soundtrack on the charts that are older, which somehow doesn't make since considering ASIB is the biggest movie music phenomenon since the Bodyguard soundtrack apparently.
and Jacs weren't you claiming that nobody was interested in P!nk anymore.

P!nk's latest album isn't doing great in the US and overall WW. ASIB has had a very nice run with only one single promoted. The fact that it stayed in the top 10 for that long speaks volumes. It's at 5 million WW, P!nk's album won't be able to do that. But congrats on it being a big success in the UK though. I don't think it'll surpass ASIB there either.

I'm not talking comparing P!nk to ASIB but mentioning both as you claimed nobody was interested in P!nk while going on about Xtine's achievements on the chart last year which were not exactly P!nk's numbers or positions. You then go on about ASIB soundtrack as it's the next 21 but really but interesting that Adele's 25, Bohemian Rhapsody soundtrack, Dua Lipa's debut, The Greatest Showman and Ed Sheeran's last turd of an album are all higher than ASIB

All those acts are British though except the TGS, that's an important factor. The BR soundtrack and Dua's album did worse than ASIB in the US, for example. I'm also pretty sure Ed's wasn't doing that well in the US either.
After 32 weeks, ASIB is #17 in the UK. Not to rain on your parade but Dua's album was #17 after 18 weeks. And she had to release more singles to re-gain some sales. The UK charts are based on streams as well and since Ed kept releasing singles from his album, it maintained a stable chart run for a year. ASIB lives on one single only, so it's impressive as f_ck it managed to do that well there. Even Adele's 25 was #14 after 31 weeks.
There are so many other albums you could've compared it to like Ariana's, Drake's, Beyoncé's, Rihanna's etc. where ASIB charted longer and better but you chose whatever fits your narrative. It's not changing anything as ASIB is a pretty huge album. How about you check its chart run in other major markets and we'll talk
