PINK

About

Few pop artists blur the line between stadium spectacle and genuine songwriting craft quite like Pink. She built her name on a sharp left turn: her debut Can't Take Me Home came out of an R&B mould, scoring Top 10 hits with "There You Go" and "Most Girls", but she pivoted hard toward pop rock with Missundaztood, which sold over 13 million copies worldwide and produced "Get the Party Started" and "Just Like a Pill". The Grammy for "Lady Marmalade" and another for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance confirmed she could operate across genres without losing her footing. Her run of Billboard 200 number ones, from The Truth About Love through Beautiful Trauma and Hurts 2B Human, shows a consistency that most of her peers never managed. She also found time to record a full folk album as You+Me with Dallas Green, which sits at an angle to pretty much everything else in her catalogue. With over 135 million records sold, she holds the title of most played female solo artist in the UK during the 21st century, and her acrobatic live shows remain a genuine talking point.
