Thanks mate. Very helpful! I hope it at least catches on with DL. I also hope if this bombs, and they decide not to release any more US singles, the rest of the world gets more as the album is really starting to take off everywhere else!

If this can't turn around, they need to send "U and Ur Hand" to radio in 2 or 3 weeks max!

They need to forget this song and send a new one NOW. The album is too great to let flop. They've gotta release something like U+UH to get some buzz back.

Once two singles fail to really ignite at radio, a 3rd will have an uphill struggle, I'd think, no matter how good it is. While Pink has fared worse at USA radio than Madge with their latest projects, there atill are similarities (HU peaked at 42 in airplay, SG at 56; both the second singles didn't come anywhere near charting on Hot 100 Airplay). Difference is, though, that Madge's album has sold somewhat decently, while Pink may barely break 500K, it's looking.

God this sucks. I agree with what you said about two songs struggling, the third single having a LOT of problems. Even if the guaranteed smashes are released now (LWTH and UUH) I bet they would flop. Pink is soooooooooo stupid. I cannot believe anyone anywhere actually thought Who Knew would work as a comeback single (its debatable as to whether SG could have been played off as a hype single if an actual good song had followed it)
This will definitely sell less than Try This now and might not even sell 500K.

Who Knew is going the world of good for the album everywhere BUT the US. It sucks so bad! I also think it will eb hard for anything to help the album now, BUT there is still hope. A small fragment of it. Time will tell.
For me Who Knew is an amazing song. We had every right to think it could help Pink out. It is everywhere else. But US radio is weird. The secong single for the US needed to be UUH, with the rest of the world getting BOTH UUH and WK as a double A-side. UUH, if released to radio BEFORE the album's release, could have done theworld of good. Pink's wrong song choices coupled with her label's lazy timeing have screwed it up. Ah well. Here's hoping Pink can sell well WW.

You had a right to think it, but I think anyone (including Pink and her label) was hopped up on crack if they thought THAT would break her back in the US.

HAHA ahhhh you just made me remember something, sorry, I'm off in my own little world right now. :)
Ya true. U + Ur Hand should have been single nuber one, Long Way To Happy as single 2, Nobody Knows as single 3, and if the album was successful then hey, spin thinkgs up a little and rlease Dear Mr President, then Cuz I Can, OR Who Knew OR I'm Not Dead or well most of this album can be released, it's just a matter of what single when.

Maybe they should give it another adds date. Is Pink promoting this in the US?

Well she'll be touring soon. Ahhhhhhhhhh well. Pink really has connected with the fans who did buy this album. It's amazing. This song is great. The music to it is generic BUT the lyrics, OMG the lyrics are so true.

Somewhere along the line, she lost her radio support. It's hard to say though. Ironically, uncultured Pittsburgh, PA has always been a HUGE P!NK supporter. They spun "Feel Good Time" "Trouble" and "God Is a DJ" like crazy. So much so that one thought they were massive hits. It's all about perspective I guess

Exactly. I was wondering why she lost her radio support as well. Even if T rouble sucked, it should have gotten more spins as it came out not long after Family Portrait. And Fee Good Times wasn't a controversial song. It was funky, not her best but certainly not bad enough to get no support! I wonderwhat happened. She didn't have any thing contrversial happen to her personally either......

I like this song, and from the amount I've heard it on the radio here in Sydney I assume it's doing better in Australia than it is in the US.

OMFG!!!!!!!!! Boston added this! :o Hopefully it gets a new life now. YES!!! :o Let's hope with this new add and radio realizing this is top 60, they will finally give this a chance! Guys, request this and vote for it on TRL! I'm Not Dead is TOO GOOD to flop and Pink is TOO GOOD to underperform again!
