Not my problem if someone chose not to read it. As for what it had to do with Pink, I was answering someone's question who happened to be in the Pink thread. No shame on me thanks.

I know, such good times for Pink, and Avril may not get #1 if she keeps hanging with Pink and Pink doesnt start dropping before her.

Isn't it funny how an artist can have 70-80 AI, but then still only sell 20-40k a week? It really shows how bad the industry is doing now days...But not trying to be a downer b/c Pink is doing great

With little publicity, bawdy female anthem gains fans anywayPink's latest song "U+Ur Hand" is topping the charts. May 15, 2007 BY LESLIE BALDACCI lbaldacci@suntimes.com After a slow, steady six-month climb, a "female anthem" about sending guys home empty-handed sits at the top of the charts -- a song some radio stations refuse to play and that "American Idol" wouldn't allow to be performed without changes to the lyrics. The song is Pink's "U + Ur Hand" and it's about women at a bar who shoot down guys who want to buy them drinks in exchange for sex. The lyrical kissoff: "It's just you and your hand tonight." Even though the song promotes saying no instead of hooking up, it has been called "racy" and "controversial" for its reference to masturbation: "I'm not here for your entertainment You don't really wanna mess with me tonight Just stop and take a second I was fine before you walked into my life Cause you know it's over Before it began Keep your drink, just gimme the money It's just you and your hand tonight." "This song is so true. Girls just don't go out to get picked up," a fan named Taylor posted at the Web site sing365.com. "Having worked in bars, this song should be called the bartender's song 'cause it fits so well," commented Maverick113 at leoslyrics.com.
"The song is lyrically controversial, but it's also very fitting to people who are sick of getting hit on by guys at the club, and want to give them a nice buzz off," said Joe "JoBo" Bohannon of WBBM-FM (96.3), where the song is in "power rotation" -- played nearly every hour.
"It's relevant to what's going on with young people," said the radio host, who is part of the "Eddie, JoBo & Erica" morning team.
The song is No. 1 this week on Radio & Records Top 40, based on airplay. It's No. 16 on Billboard's Top 20 after peaking at No. 9.
JoBo said Pink told him more than a year ago that she wanted the song to be the second single of her "I'm Not Dead" album. But it wasn't released until Dec. 2, then spent 13 weeks bumping around the 30s before breaking into the Top 10 in March.
It was promoted heavily and performed on tour with Justin Timberlake, but some stations still wouldn't touch it, even those that have no problem playing songs with more explicit lyrics. TMZ.com reported that "American Idol" asked Pink to change the words "when the powers-that-be realized the song made references to self-love."
"Standards and practices at Fox did not approve the song," said Michele K. Schweitzer, publicist for Pink. "We felt there was no way around what the song is about." Instead, Pink performed "Who Knew."
Pink sings that she just wants to dance by herself -- "Just let me have my fun tonight" -- and tells the guy, "You're outta luck, don't touch." She ends the song with spoken words: "You know who you are, high five and talkin' --, but you're going home alone arentcha?" The chorus repeats.
"It lights up the phones. It's a female anthem that hits home with women," Bohannon said. "I think it's fantastic."
Reaction from the Web Fans offer Internet comments on "U + Ur Hand": "Love this song, and it is so right. Not everyone goes out to pick up. I have a bf and I go out nearly every weekend."
-- Anonymous
"I love this song ... I'm a guy and I act the opposite so the girls don't think I'm an ass. ... That's why I have most girl friends."
--Music Lover
"She's beautiful and she has a great voice."
--Adam
"C'est supper -- j'adore Pink's 'You and Your Hand.' "
-- Marceau
"Her big comeback album "I'm Not Dead" looked like flopapalooza ... until now. Suddenly, "I'm Not Dead" is racing back up the album chart and the song "U + Ur Hand" has become an actual hit."

I'm so happy for her success. This album is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good.
I could totally see 3-4 Top 10 hits from this album (Hot 100 AND Pop Chart).

I love this song, but considering the massive radio success, I am disappointed that it isn't moving more album sales, and I even think this song should be selling more digital downloads.

^its been out for 6 months...what do people expect? A song that has been selling for 6 months is not going to sell like a song thats been out for 4 weeks. This is not a typical radio hit because of the longevity so it cant be compared to other songs' runs and sales per week because if you look at the overall sales, she is selling to the same proportion, just over a longer time period. Slow and steady.

I will wait for the song to finish it's run and then talk about how much it will end up selling. Some were expecting it to sell like a newbie ... of course it would not for the reasons Debbie posted above! But some people still don't get it, and that's fine with me! :) Go Alecia and your smash "Hand". 3 weeks @ #1 is just around the corner! HUUUUUUUUUGE!

This song is a 'download the single and don't take the risk and buy the album' type song. Just like 'Hips Don't Lie' 'SOS' and 'Promiscious'.

I would have never believed this 2 weeks ago when it first went #1 and it could even go 4 weeks *fingers crossed* to tie DLMGM. Im so glad the ALBUM is selling so well on ITUNES, you know that digital music store. Its still Top 50. Must mean people are buying the album and the song. Maybe the song is not charting as high also because people are buying the album now instead of the single. Interesting.
