She's black again😢😢😢😁

Same thing I thought. Pink delivers when she goes urban.

[Live Your Life]

There are some parts of the cover I like and some I don't. I'm looking forward to the album, either way.

On another note, what is going on with the tour announcement? They announced the one show she's doing in Tinley Park IL and..nothing else....?

[SHOOTER]

Where is the song?!

[blahsi]

[adamalterlago]

Hmmmm...I was expecting something a bit more upbeat/anthem? The track has a nice melody but goes nowhere for me. She sounds fantastic. This may do well on AC (?) but it's not the strong comeback single that I had hoped for.

[Focus]

I love the song. Amazing!

[Kishi KCM]

I'm ready for the legend to come back and phuck it up!

[Ling-Ling]

For some reason I busted out her debut album today. So many unsung tracks on there! That three song punch of "Let Me Let You Know," "Love Is Such A Crazy Thing" and "Private Show." Please just give me one or two R&B leaning bops on this album Alecia, that's all I ask.

[schnetzka]

I like it but for some reason I was waiting for a high note before the final chorus.

[Troublemaker]

Irrespective of how the single does i'm proud of her already announcing the album without seeing how the single performs

[ItGirl]

The track listing looks promising. Especially Barbies.

[Robert J]

I'm a bit torn right now. I like the sound she's going for on "What About Us," but it's lacking the punch her lead singles usually offer. It's nice to see her switching up her production - it's not another IND rehash - but I'm hoping some of the other songs will be a bit more fun.

[kmbgs]

Moderately underwhelmed, but I feel like the album will have 2-3 absolute jams.

[Ivy Leegue™]

O. M. G. WHAT. IS. THISSSSSS?! I am in love with What About Us. I love this kind of sound. It's kinda low-key clubby, like a laid-back We Found Love. Good job, P!nk.

My sentiments exactly. I like the vibe but it somehow doesn't go all the way there. I felt like the song should have built more. But very happy it's not other lead single rehash (Raise your Glass, So What, etc)

[Nick]

Looking forward to the album.

[Heart Shaped Box]

I like this song. It's pretty!

#1 on iTunes! The longevity and reliability of her career is amazing in such an overcrowded pop world. Deservedly so, too.

And to think people doubted her ability to dethrone Despacito! Bow down!!

[Nick]

Go Pink!

[schnetzka]

I'm assuming there is going to be a deluxe edition (her previous albums had them). I just wish they would announce all the song titles at once.

With 'What About Us,' It's Time To Recognize Pink As the Juggernaut She Is

Out of the Y2K class of popstars, who had their bets on P!nk to have one of the most sustainable careers? And yet, here she is. Seventeen years after her debut, her new single “What About Us” holds steady at the top of the U.S. iTunes songs chart, four days after its release Thursday, Aug. 10. In fact, the song soars onto Billboard's Adult Pop Songs radio airplay chart at No. 18, marking the highest debut of P!nk's 22 career entries on the list. It's the highest debut by any song on the chart since Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" blasted in at a record No. 9 on Sept. 6, 2014. "Us" also arrives on Pop Songs at No. 34. (Both latest charts cover airplay in the Aug. 7-13 tracking period, according to Nielsen Music.)

So what is it about the big-voiced vixen that’s allowed her to carve out such an impressive career? With “What About Us,” the answer is obvious: it’s her raw authenticity.

Let’s rewind to P!nk’s debut, 2000’s Can’t Take Me Home. Several of her peers -- Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson and Ashanti -- saw their debut solo albums and accompanying lead singles top both the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 charts. Meanwhile, Can’t Take Me Home peaked at No. 26. Two tracks from the album cracked the top 10 (“There You Go” at No. 7 and “Most Girls” at No. 4), but neither made it to the chart’s pinnacle.

It’s well-documented that Can’t Take Me Home’s slinky hip-hop sound was the product of her label, and that P!nk enlisted her childhood hero, 4 Non Blondes frontwoman Linda Perry, to help craft a rowdy pop-rock sound for her sophomore album, Missundaztood. While the album didn’t hit the top spot either (it peaked at No. 6), it manage to clock in at No. 157 on the Billboard 200 Albums Greatest of All Time chart. Not only that, but P!nk found her sound on the LP -- one she’s built upon ever since.

P!nk has never chased pop music trends: there isn’t a hit in her catalogue that benefited from the help of a superstar DJ or a rapper du jour. It would be easy to argue that she rode the wave of post-”Born This Way” self-empowerment jams with “Raise Your Glass,” but was there a more natural fit for the genre’s subject matter? P!nk has been underestimated since her arrival -- a song that celebrates underdogs makes sense.

Rather, P!nk’s biggest wins are always the result of moments of honesty. For example, her first solo trip to No.1 on the Hot 100, 2008’s bratty anthem “So What,” was famously about her (temporary) split with husband Carey Hart. Then there’s her career-defining aerial performance of “Glitter in the Air” during the 2010 Grammys. Rather than perform a recent hit, P!nk swerved left and introed the ballad to the masses, explaining to Oprah, “It feels like after ten years, people still don’t know what I do.” Now her name is synonymous with Cirque du Soleil-style stunts.

Still, even with P!nk’s wild career trajectory, she hardly gets the respect she deserves. It’s possible that her late bloomer status, or her ability to dodge sensational tabloid headlines, has affected to the way she’s measured against her peers. But with a collection of 15 top ten Hot 100 hits as a lead artist -- more than any of her aforementioned peers (Beyoncé has 16 when featured acts are factored in) -- how is it possible that P!nk is still flying under the radar?

With “What About Us,” P!nk throws out the rules in favor of authenticity once again. Rather than kicking off the era with a bombastic single, P!nk opted to lead with something more sobering. At face value, the lyrics read from the perspective of someone in a turbulent relationship, but they can be just as easily interpreted as a plea for guidance in this confusing political climate. Given that P!nk spent the weekend retweeting commentary on the white supremacist violence in Virginia, it’s not far-fetched to think that the double meaning was intentional.

The lines “We were willing/ We came when you called/ But man you fooled us/ Enough is enough” could easily be read through the lens of someone disillusioned with the political process. To be clear, P!nk was incredibly vocal in her support of Hillary Clinton, but it’s possible that she looked past party lines to create an anthem that encompasses the hopelessness in the world.

The outspoken singer hasn’t been one to shy away from politics in the past: take for instance her I’m Not Dead ballad “Dear Mr. President,” an open letter addressed to George W. Bush. P!nk has said that she has no intention of releasing a Trump-era followup -- “there aren’t words for this shameful person” -- but given her candor on social issues, it’s impossible that the country’s (and world’s) unrest didn’t affect her writing process. Rather than addressing Trump directly, a song that captures the general state of confusion is a therapeutic alternative.

So will “What About Us” continue P!nk’s impressive streak of wins? Early indicators are pointing to yes. But if you want to underestimate her again, go ahead -- she’s used to it.

Clearly this individual isn't familiar with Spotify (or a calendar for that matter when they say RYG was post-BTW).

[Deleted]

^Why are you so desperate to discredit Pink's success? It may have gotten off to a slower start on streaming (as older acts tend to do), but she is doing incredibly well on iTunes and radio -- for anyone, let alone someone almost 20 years into their career.

[Deleted]

I'm usually one of the first in line to point out that P!nk's career and talent are underrated, but that particular reviewer just didn't do his or her homework, which is unfortunately common with music writers these days - in their rush to capture the stan audience and be the first to make a point, they tend to toss basic research to the side. I'll let the 'early indicators' line slide b/c WAU seems all but certain to be a solid top 10 hit for her with or without streaming. But Ashanti, Kelly, and solo Beyonce aren't really P!nk's "peers" IMO, and referring to RYG as post-BTW was not only sloppy but actually undermined the writer's own point - why not make an argument that P!nk started the self-empowerment wave that others followed? (RYG was released two weeks before Firework was released as Katy's third single.) Even f**kin' Perfect was released before BTW was. In general, P!nk's been doing the band-of-merry-misfits thing. That article could and should have been spun a whole other way.

I never really thought much about it but she is low on collabs. One of her best was with India Arie. I wish she go ooooooooold school and do one with Pat Benatar. She's always reminded me of her.

OMFG!!!!!! P!nk is one of the few who could do justice to "Love Is a Battlefield" and "Heartbreaker" YES PLZ!!!!!!!!!
