Pink breaks the record for consecutive Hot AC top ten hits
Quote:
'AIR' PLAY: After her first six entries on the Adult Pop Songs chart missed the top 10 between 2001 and 2006, Pink's next six charted titles all have reached the top tier. She extends her streak this week with an 11-9 advance for "Glitter in the Air."
With six top 10s, Pink now trails only Sheryl Crow (10 top 10s), Alanis Morissette (nine), Jewel and Kelly Clarkson (seven each) for most top 10s among women in the chart's 14-year archives. Avril Lavigne and Sarah McLachlan have also tallied six top 10s.
Pink is the first female artist to string together six Adult Pop Songs top 10s. Clarkson, Crow, Jewel and Morissette all linked streaks of five consecutive top 10 tracks.
"Glitter in the Air," with which Pink wowed the crowd in January at the 52nd Grammy Awards thanks to her acrobatic performance of the ballad, is the fourth Adult Pop Songs top 10 from her album "Funhouse." "So What" and "Sober" each reached No. 1 and "Please Don't Leave Me" peaked at No. 2. The set is the first album by a woman to contain at least four top 10s since Clarkson's "Breakaway" housed five in 2004-06.
