yeah sadly the top 3 songs are even crappier

Congratulations to P!nk

She deserves that position!

And Congrats to Bruno! 4th week at #1 with "Grenade"!

It will debut next week, and at this point it looks good for a Top 15/Top 20 debut.

I do believe P!nk isn't as insanely popular as her peers, but her stans use the underdog thing so excessively now. She has just as many Pop Top 40 hits as any of her peers, her album sales are good, etc. She's a mainstream artist.

Also her audience is not different from people who are buying Pitbull, Britney, Bruno, etc. songs. They're all late teens-early adults stage.

Thats true though

I don't quite agree, but ok. And no need to call her underground either, that was a little extreme.

PS: And she's definitely not slaying. Let's not get delusional.

I know I agree, it's even kind of annoying, some people make it look like she's some sort of indie artist supported by an exclusive group or something which is stupid. But her audience is much wider than the ones you listed, of course a majority of the listeners are from the demographic you described. But she's really popular with 20-40 females (there was a survey for Hot AC listeners where she ranked 1st), there are many 60+ year old people attending her concerts and her rock covers, live shows etc. are actually respected by original's fans and her peers. And her sales are obviously nowhere near as gay driven as Britney Spears or Lady Gaga. Simply put she's like the only pop female a parent would consider to be okay as a role model for their children.

P!nk for #1

exactly

Plus I'd say she's one of not many popular female acts of today who should be considered artists/singers in the first place and entertainers after that, so for her its more important to sell an album and have a big tour rather than stay a constant fixture on tabloids.

Also many assess her popularity based on the buzz she gets in the US. We should remember that she's a worldwide superstar, HUGE in Europe and I'm not talking about Australia.

Oh I agree her demographics reaches further than her peers, especially in concert. But, I just don't think they are the drive behind her iTunes success. That's where I meant about her audience being mostly the same as her peers, whilst having a good chunk of the AC listeners.

P!nk.

P!nk

Grenade and Black Yellow

FP - highest charting song with a profanity in the title?

Well it's mostly troubled teens buying this and RYG but dun't think it'd explain the drive behind FP and Glitter In The Air completely, cos even huge single artists can't sell mid tempo songs or ballads as well as their party tracks, it seems to work just as fine for her:
- How Lady Gaga failed pushing Speechless as a single when it didn't do **** on iTunes
- Katy Perry's Thinking Of You redetermining the word flop
- Rihanna's Russian Roulette tanking hard
- Ke$ha, Britney Spears and BEP never even bothering to try

Didn't Glee's version of **** You go #1 on hot digital songs as well?

I don't think its only troubled teens buying these songs. They're generic and catchy as much as they have a message. But I understand your point.

And Glee's "Forget You".

You won't shade Russian Roulette like that

Irt was 9th most successful single in Europe on 2010 year end chart

You really think that INAD could go #1 next week ?

I think that it hasn't got enough airplay..

P!nk

It would only take 310k+ for to go #1 based on points this week. No major airplay would be needed.

Grenade is far from crappy and so is Firework.

And dont get me started with ****ing Perfect, its like the best song in the top ten.

P!nk needs #1 ****in Perfect >>>>>>>> Bruno Mars life
