Stupid Girls made #13 on the Hot 100. Plus, second single usually do better nowadays. I mean Gwen Stefani had #47 with 'What U Waiting For." That's a flop. Stupid Girls wasn't. Sure, it would be better if she made the top 10 though but a top 20 hit is good. Cannot compare the two-Pink came out when downloads were in full force. You can bet Gwen would have peaked top 20 if not top 10 if downloads were in full force when WUWF came out. The airplay numbers/peaks were actually very close to each other. And I wouldnt say second singles normally do better now than first singles-remember 3-4 major cases does NOT mean that every second single or even the majority do better. It depends. And I think for Pink it depends on how much her label backs her. Im hoping for a lot of promotion and push, but right now it just seems like nothing is happening :(

But in the long run people refer to the Hot 100 peak. When someone sees #47 they think of a flop. When they see #13...They go 'Oh yeah, I remember that song."

BTW, who cares if 'Stupid Girls' is her last major hit? I'd be OK if Pink was done, for me. She's had enough hits for a compilation so she's set...In two years she can release a 'Greatest Hits' album with a killer cover and a new song or two. Plus, this song - without any promotion or anything - must at least make the lower 75-100 rungs of the Hot 100. Its P!NK! And I'm sure that the third single will be a Hot 100 chart entry, no matter how low. There we go! More tracks to fill out that future #1 smash billboard top 200 compilation album with the sexy cover of Pink.

But in the long run people refer to the Hot 100 peak. When someone sees #47 they think of a flop. When they see #13...They go 'Oh yeah, I remember that song." Not really-only some people on the internet. In the grand scheme of things, the general public could not care less about actual hot 100 peak numbers. Sure, a lot of press goes into a #1 hit, but do you really think the general public is omging because they might have read somewhere that SG hit #13? Or will remember it 5 minutes from the moment it happened? Some major hits in the 1990s didnt even chart due to certain rules, but are classics now. 5-10 years from now, I doubt either songs will be remembered by the general public...and a #13 peak wont save Pink from that and a #47 wont hinder Gwen. And I do care if Pink never gets another real hit (and I do not consider SG a real hit-she desperately needs a solid top 10 airplay hit) because I love her music and I want to continue seeing her release quality music and getting support from her label to do so. Though her worldwide profile may be enough to sustain that...it would rock to see her rocking America as well.

Exactly-no one but some of us on the net and even we are smart enough to know that changing rules give a skewed perception of hits or not (and the people who dont know about that...well, I dont think it really matters in the grand scheme of things)
I know everyone is excited that SG hit #13 because of downloads...but I still say she is aching for a real airplay hit and thats what will help her album...not one or two weeks of high downloads for a high peak.

Pink's not "Stupid" --- she knows it's time to move on from her controversial clip and demonstrate that the rest of her new album, I'm Not Dead, isn't all gimmick. The singer shot a video for the wistful "Who Knew" over the weekend in Los Angeles, following a couple at a carnival with directors Samuel Bayer (Green Day, Good Charlotte), Robert Hales (Fort Minor, Jet) and Brian Lazzaro (Rilo Kiley, Mest). "It's about the death of friendship," Pink said. "You're best friends forever, and then three years later, you haven't seen each other in two years. What happened? You grow apart and people come in and out of your life for different reasons, seasons." Pink also has a video for "U and Ur Hand" already in the can, directed by "Stupid Girls" auteur Dave Meyers. ... Source www.mtv.com/news/articles/1528800/20060417/proof_of_d_12.jhtml?headlines=true

I hope the best for this song. I really like it, especially the meaning. I'm thinking the label is pushing for U+UH because they know thats a hit, but Pink wants to stick with this because of the personal meaning behinde it. Whether or not that will pay off, I'm not sure but hope so

Yeah, U + Ur Hand is sort of a gimmick song. I mean although it encourages female empowerment, the title alone is pretty gimmicky.

Yes but it's the catchiest song since SUBG. I think it'd be huge. I wouldn't mind if it was the last single off o f the album, thus the record goes out with a bang.

IMO, U+UH would work much better as a summer song than WK. Were I in charge, I'd probably release WK in the fall after this one had peaked.

U+Ur Hand is gonna be a single whther a certain PMB'er wants to admit it. If the video is shot, I'm sure LaFace is gonna push that first, than this. Plus, if every critic points out "U+Ur Hand" as one of the standout tracks of the album, you know its gonna get pushed more.

I can understand them going with WK first. They want to show the public that the album has variety. U+UH is much more similar to SG than WK is. I'm sure U+UH could be the third single.

r So they have decided on WK. Because one of my local stations is playing "U & Ur Hand". Both are standout A plus songs. And after SG's lack of huge airplay maybe they are thinking WK might do better since UAUH and SG are the same kinda song tempo wise and all. WK has great lyrics and it actually has a lot of meaning behind it. Either way I am giving up on the american buying public if they let a jem like IND sell less than atleast 2 mil

She needs to release this like RIGHT NOW! :(
I saw a promo ad on TV and they played a snippet of WK, it sounded really good.

Stupid Girls made #13 on the Hot 100. Plus, second single usually do better nowadays. I mean Gwen Stefani had #47 with 'What U Waiting For." That's a flop. Stupid Girls wasn't. Sure, it would be better if she made the top 10 though but a top 20 hit is good. USUALLY, BEING THE OPERATIVE WORD........We all remembered what happened to Madonna and Hung Up/ Sorry
