Apr 14, 2013
Singer-songwriter, P!nk's latest hit track is "Just Give Me a Reason", featuring Fun's lead singer Nate Ruess. It is the third single from P!nk's sixth studio album, The Truth About Love which was released back on September 14th of last year. Prior to its release, the song charted in many regions due to strong digital sales and a music video was filmed, as confirmed by Pink herself in an interview in France. In the US, it is Pink's fourteenth top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
P!nk began her career with her debut album Can't Take Me Home in 2000. The R&B album was certified double-platinum in the United States and launched P!nk's career. However, she gained further recognition alongside Lil' Kim, Christina Aguilera and MÝa covering "Lady Marmalade" for the Moulin Rouge! soundtrack. This collaboration earned P!nk both her first Grammy Award and first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100. Her next album, 2001's M!ssundaztood, proved to be her most successful album to date, with sales in excess of 12 million copies. The album's biggest singles, "Get the Party Started", "Don't Let Me Get Me" and "Just Like a Pill" all charted in the top ten in the US and the UK. In November 2003 Pink released her third album, Try This, preceded by the single "Trouble". Although not her most successful album, Try This earned P!nk her first solo Grammy Award. After a short hiatus, her fourth studio album, I'm Not Dead, was released in April 2006. With the help of successful singles "Stupid Girls", "Who Knew" and "U + Ur Hand" I'm Not Dead marked a revival in P!nk's popularity both in the US and worldwide. P!nk's fifth album, Funhouse, was released in late 2008 and was preceded by her first solo number one on the Billboard Hot 100, "So What". Her latest album The Truth About Love, was released in 2012 and became her first number one album in the United States. The album's three singles, "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)", "Try" and "Just Give Me A Reason", all have reached the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100.
P!nk has become one of the most successful artists of her generation, having sold over 40 million albums and 50 million singles across the globe. Her career accolades include three Grammy Awards, a Brit Award and five MTV Video Music Awards. Additionally, P!nk has had 19 top-twenty hits on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2009, Billboard magazine named Pink the #1 pop musician of the decade, and in 2012, VH1 named P!nk #10 on their list of the 100 Greatest Women in Music
To support this latest album, P!nk began her Truth About Love Tour in February. The tour is expected to continue through this year and will include American, Australian and European legs.
