Released last month, "THE GREATEST SHOWMAN - REIMAGINED" immediately ascended into the #1 position on iTunes "Top Albums" chart, with a staggering 90,000 units sold in the first week alone and global streams now approaching 350 million. The album had already amassed an incredible 100m streams via individual tracks and videos unveiled prior to the album's official release. Among those were "Rewrite the Stars" featuring multi-platinum artists Anne-Marie and James Arthur, Panic! At the Disco's rework of "The Greatest Show" - lauded by Billboard as "a triumphant rendition" - and multiple GRAMMY® Award-winner Kelly Clarkson's stunning take on "Never Enough." Entertainment Weekly hailed the latter track, asserting, "The Greatest Showman's power ballad is in good hands," while People Magazine declared, "Kelly Clarkson might just be the Greatest Show-Woman... The original AMERICAN IDOL used her million-dollar pipes to tackle 'Never Enough' and the results are, as predicted, enthralling."

"THE GREATEST SHOWMAN - REIMAGINED" also came accompanied by P!nk's chart-topping version of "A Million Dreams" and the "A Million Dreams (Reprise)" performed by her daughter Willow Sage Hart. The two recorded together in the studio, featured in an incredibly heartwarming video. P!nk's version of "A Million Dreams" also proved to be a smash - reaching #2 on the iTunes overall "Top Songs" chart in just a few short days.
