She needed a change of pace and this was clearly the best choice out of the tracks to choose from. "It's All Your Fault" would be a solid single as well but radio doesn't want another sad, mid-tempo from her after "Sober" and "Please Don't Leave Me". This is classic P!nk so it's a good choice to break things up a little. I don't know if it screams radio smash but it should do moderately well at least.

I will change this anytime it's played on my local station (which I'm thinking won't be very much). Should've been Bad Influence, I Don't Believe You, or It's All Your Fault. Hell, even a re-release with Boring as the next single would've been better than this. I listen to IDBY now and I dont think its fit for radio at all, it was very touching at first but definitely not radio material, definitely an album/live gem though.

??? I don't really understand how IAYF is a "mid tempo". It has probably the highest energy chorus on the album, after Bad Influence and So What.
Anyways I was hoping they would change this and make it IAYF or BI, but I guess not. I don't think this will do very well.

I love this song as a single. I hope it does well. It's so different than anything else on radio right now. Kind of like "She Wolf". And look how that one is doing. (although circumstances are different. that's Shakira's debut as opposed to Pink's 4th single)
I think the fact that it's so different, yet has the Pink touch, which radio loves right now, will help it hit top 10 at least.

#10 peak on CHR is the absolute best case scenario I could see for this song. I'm guessing it will peak around #17 or so, and miss the top 40 on the H100.

I feel that this is a great single choice after Sober, PDLM. Hopefully this performs well and then a 5th single...IAYF is released.

Anything but BI getting released is a travesty to me. It is the next "Hand."

I meant more as far as being a party anthem goes and not as much an indicator of success, although I think it could do almost as well. I hope it gets a release, though it doesn't seem likely at this point.

I really think this song is going to do well..it takes a few listens but it has a great beat that guys/girls can bop their heads to while the car, going out, etc.

LMAO you b***hes love to whine. I can't wait until this is release and is doing well just so we can focus on the chart run and NOT the singles choice.
I want her to perform at the VMAs. A hot medley to really promote the tour thanks! Start off with So What, come out blazing. Then hit into Please Don't Leave Me, THEN hit the heights for Sober on the trapeze and THEN do all that crazy dance rutine for Funhouse. It would GO OFF!

"hopefully" itll do well...
That would be a hot performance but way too much to incorporate in to one performance.

"Funhouse" will do. ;)

Anyways I was hoping they would change this and make it IAYF or BI, but I guess not. I don't think this will do very well. Technically you're right. However the verse is decidedly mid-tempo, and the overall feel of the song is downbeat. I think a lot of people think of up-tempo as party or club-ready, which this song certainly is not. The subject matter is dark, the instruments are dark -- so even though the chorus may be very fast, this still is called mid-tempo.

Terrible single choice, and I'll just leave it at that.

This will be a hit. My friends who don`t like her already have Funhouse on their phones and Ipods.

This song is actually very radio friendly. How it does on CHR is a different story.

Speaking of artists who always give show-stopping VMA performances, P!nk will be singing something from her smash album Funhouse. Last year P!nk made a fiery production out of her #1 single "So What"--complete with explosions, leather and strategically placed tape. Need we say more? LOVE IT! _ _ _ www.people.com/people/article/0,,20294640,00.html "Last year I got to jump out of a window at the VMAs in L.A.," Pink said. "This year I can't wait to blow the roof off Radio City in New York." Hopefully that means we get acrobatics, either way it'll be great, her award show performances normally are! :)

Thanks! Oh well, in my country EVERYTHING that`s hit in the US, can`t be less here. It`s a must. People here know how to smell a hit. And it will be a hit, cuz it`s too catchy not to. Simple.

The VMAs are probably close to this song adds date and, just like it helped So What become a number 1 hit last year, they will certainly help this at Itunes and give a sweet Hot 100 peak, even if radio isn't very keen on it.

Just because they showed clips of the video?
I doubt Green Day will perform Know Your Enemy as well.
