Hmmm... this showed up on my FB newsfeed
Now if you'll excuse me I have to hide from a scalpel wielding Carebear4eva
That is so dumb, whoever created that. Music snobs. Just because YOU don't like it doesn't mean it's not music.

Not really. People do this all the time. "I listen to REAL music." It happens on YouTube most often. The worst one is, "I'm 12-years-old, and I'm ashamed of the music my generation listens to. They should be listening to Led Zeppelin."
Oh, eff off. And as most of you know, I say that as a Led Zeppelin fan.
I know how you were using it was satirical, but I doubt that was the intention of the creator.

This fact was on her WIKI"
"Pink has sold over 40 million albums and 70 million singles worldwide, making her one of the best-selling artists of all time."

Yes it is. The WIKI is interesting reading. She put out 3 records in 3 years.

And you're making this statement because you know that all Idol winners sell the same amount of albums that Carrie does

Excerpts from Billboard and ChartWatch on this past week's top selling albums:
Dave Matthews Band's "Away From the World" shifted 266,000 in its first week -- according to Nielsen SoundScan -- easily securing the top slot. Little Big Town's "Tornado" No. 2 start gives the country quartet its highest charting album ever -- and its best sales week (113,000). Bob Dylan nets his fifth consecutive top 10 studio album as "Tempest" starts at No. 3 with 110,000. The Avett Brothers grab its best week ever on the Billboard 200 as "The Carpenter" climbs in with 98,000 at No. 4. Rock act the xx also bulldozes past its previous biggest week thanks to the 73,000 racked by its sophomore album "Coexist" and its No. 5 entry.
Rounding out the top six debuts is legendary ZZ Top with its highest debuting album ever, "La Futura" (No. 6; 31,000). Imagine Dragons' "Night Visions" falls 2-7 (29,000; down 65%), Matchbox Twenty's "North" tumbles 1-8 (28,000; down 71%) and the "Now 43" compilation dips 4-9 (24,000; down 31%). Amanda Palmer's "Theatre is Evil," debuting at No. 10 with 24,000.
Seven albums drop out of the top 10 this week. Lecrae's Gravity drops from #3 to #14, Carrie Underwood's Blown Away drops from #5 to #24, Maroon 5's Overexposed drops from #6 to #11, 2 Chainz' Based On A T.R.U. Story drops from #7 to #13, tobyMac's Eye On It drops from #8 to #16, Trey Songz's Chapter V drops from #9 to #21 and Cat Power's Sun drops from #10 to #32.

The pair notched nine top 10 albums, more than any other duo in history.

Where did you get the 350k estimate? I've seen 150k but not 350k. P!nk's last album "Truth About Love" sold 180k in its debut week.
That is huge, must be the long delay .Her fans are ready for new music!
Pink's last release in 2008 sold 180,000 first week and went to sell 1.9 mil according to HDD

I'm making this statement because the comparison was made between the amount Pink has sold to the amount Carrie has sold within a short TIMEFRAME. My point is that Pink as a new artist needed extra time to ramp up to build her fanbase.
So Carrie just edges out DMB in opening sales.
Where are the estimates for Pink? I agree with everyone else, 350 k seems high.
