Saw her last night in San Diego. She put on a really good show, despite her vocals being a bit low/tempered in the first 3rd of the setlist (I let it slide since it was her first concert since being sick), plus she did a lot of dancing and connecting with the audience (she was gifted a blanket with photos of her son, slippers, and some candy?). But her voice got stronger as the night went on, and soon it seemed like it was at 100%.
A little sad though that my favorite song of hers (“Who Knew”) was like the 3rd song she did, so it sounded just okay.
Grouplove was fun, and Brandi Carlile was pretty amazing (“Right on Time” was gorgeously done).

Saw her live for the first time in LA last night. In addition to dynamite vocals and spectacular aerials, she's got an insane amount of charisma. So confident and emotive, yet fun and kooky too. Absolute star, would happily see her perform again.

Love Pink, but I was hoping that the era of re-releasing existing albums was over.

Any updates on TF’s sales? I know it’s constantly on iTunes Top 100 and probably sells a few copies at her shows. While those sales don’t add up to much, the fact it’s still selling far past radio exposure is interesting.

www.billboard.com/pro/pnk-billboard-monthly-boxscore-report/P!nk Crowns Billboard’s Monthly Boxscore Report With $51 MillionBY ERIC FRANKENBERG 11/27/2023 Split between two tours, P!nk is October's highest-grossing touring act from 10 shows in arenas and stadiums. P!nk played 10 shows, split between two separate tours, in October. In all, those dates grossed $51.2 million and sold 271,000 tickets, according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore. That’s enough to rule Billboard’s monthly Top Tours chart, marking her third month at No. 1 since the charts launched in February 2019. P!nk began the month in San Diego, playing an Oct. 3 show at Snapdragon Stadium. After three more stadium shows on the Summer Carnival tour, she transitioned to the arena-focused Trustfall Tour, playing dates in California, Denver, and Kansas City. She’s the first artist to lead the Top Tours list via multiple tours. It’s rare enough for an artist to play two tours within a year of one another, but it does happen, per recent treks by Bad Bunny and Post Malone, among others. Both tours’ setlist, personnel and staging are relatively similar, though the Trustfall Tour puts an extra accent on its namesake album. The October Summer Carnival shows earned $30.9 million and sold 190,000 tickets, while the six Trustfall shows brought in $20.2 million and 81,100 tickets. That means that on average, P!nk’s stadium dates averaged more than twice as much revenue as her arena concerts, at $7.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The transition from stadiums to arenas, particularly in North America, makes sense as the weather shifts and outdoor concerts become less viable. Still, with active stadium tours in Oceania and South America, P!nk’s monthly gold medal in (primarily) arenas is significant. In fact, P!nk is the first artist to crown the Top Tours chart while touring arenas in 2023 – though she did so with the help of four stadium performances. Trans-Siberian Orchestra staged the last arena win in December of last year. Before that, Bad Bunny was tops in February and March of 2022, before ruling the chart in stadiums later that year. P!nk was No. 2 in August, when she and Beyoncé became the first women to ever rank Nos. 1-2 together. She previously topped the chart in March and July of 2019, while barreling toward the end of the Beautiful Trauma World Tour. That trek grossed $397.3 million and sold 3.1 million tickets, standing tall as the third highest-grossing tour by a woman in the Boxscore archives, behind Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour ($579.8 million in 2023) and Madonna’s Sticky & Sweet Tour ($407.7 million in 2008-09). P!nk is one of just three woman-identifying acts to lead the Top Tours chart. She follows Beyoncé, who ran the ranking in four of the previous five months. Plus, the Spice Girls were No. 1 in June 2019. Both in terms of unique artists, and in total months, women have been No. 1 for less than 20% of the time since the monthly chart premiered. Including the Summer Carnival Tour from earlier this year, and current through the Nov. 14 Trustfall show in Miami, P!nk has grossed $309.4 million and sold just over 2 million tickets in 2023. Eight of P!nk’s October dates appear on the Top Boxscores chart, at No. 7 with $9 million from Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium on Oct. 7, and at No. 10 with $8.1 million from the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. on Oct. 5. Unsurprisingly, the stadium shows come up first, even above double-header arena engagements in San Francisco and Kansas City.

Anyone else wish she’d do another You+Me album? I think it’s her best artistic output post-Funhouse overall. Album aged great. Plus folk is in a more prestigious place now than then I think.

I selfishly want her to stick to main releases for the next 5 years or so because the time frame where she can have potential hits it’s beginning to close outside of a fluke. Though a one off song would be cool

Trustfall was one of the best songs of 2023 so i'd like an album full of bops like that.

The album that never ends... I mean 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY' out now!

I liked "Never Gonna Not Dance Again" and the title track but the album as a whole was underwhelming to me. I am not sure what I want from her in regards to sound but something different would be nice.

Though a one off song would be cool May sound harsh, but I honestly think the Trustfall era was her last chance at the “hitmaker” days given the combo of her age and the length of time since she was last getting big hits. And they kind of flushed that down the drain with the botched rollout of the title track, which was easily the most surefire hit. Maybe she will get some undeniable smash sounding song, but it also has to be released and promoted too. That’s kind of been an issue for her since the Beautiful Trauma era (poor single choices or rollouts). I still don’t understand why they just sat on Where We Go that era? Either I’m missing something, or that was a smash waiting to happen (at the time).

^ justice for trustfall (single) for sure. Would have loved to see how it would have performed as the first single
In regards to other hits, if she can nab a superbowl performance in the next 3 years and I think she can get a hit like usher just did .

Whatever it is, she needs to freshen up and come back in a big way, if she hopes to have a resurgence.
Trustfall the single was a wasted opportunity, but I’m not surprised at her label failing her.

I think she really needs to stop chasing the So What formula. That song did it perfectly to start with, and it’s more than 15 years now… enough with the NGNDA type of SW knockoffs from her (as majorly promoted singles at least).
90 Days is her other one from recent years that I think was a missed smash. I always get major Rihanna Stay vibes from it for the kind of hit it could’ve been with a good push. Sure it’s a stripped down ballad, but the hooks and melody are very prominent (again, ala Stay). To me, Where We Go, 90 Days, and Trustfall make up a trio of huge missed hits from each of her last 3 eras, and man would she be in a much different place for mainstream relevancy if they had all smashed.

P!nk's "soccer mom" music just isn't in anymore (which is a shame). I just want her to continue making music that makes her happy and I kinda like that she has this niche. Just do not want her to make the same album for a fourth time in a row.

Personally I would like her to dip into the sound of her debut album again. “Most Girls, There You Go”, Hell Wit Ya, You Make Me Sick” were bops!!! I also adored the ballad “Stop Falling” from the debut. I do like a lot of her stuff that came after, but these are probably my favorite Pink tracks.
