Does anyone know the debut week sales for Blow Me?
Here gurl:
Week 1: 66,000 (#41) - No promo banner
Week 2: 171,000 (#4, up 259%) - Promo banner placed
Had it not leaked, prompting the rush release in the middle of the week, it would have sold over 200k with ease. In the week without the banner, it was stuck in the 30's on Itunes. After the banner, she peaked at 2 behind Katy Perry. What kinda of Applause teas?

Thanks!! It's ridiculous what's going on with Applause vs Roar right now. People have too much freetime, although I admit it's pretty entertaining.
P!nk is known for longevity so those number above doesn't really matter.
Pink has been described as an artist who has changed the scope of pop music. She has been credited for breaking boundaries and pushing the envelope throughout her career. She is often regarded as the "most trailblazing artist" of her generation.[102][115][116] Robert Hilburn of the Los Angeles Times says, "Pink stood up for her music, broke the music industry's mold and scored a breakout hit, challenging a school of teen singers to find their own sounds as well." He adds, "[Pink] also started a race among other teen pop stars like Christina Aguilera to add substance to their own sound."[117] Referring to her as a "powerhouse vocalist", Ann Powers of the Los Angeles Times asked, "Why isn't she an even bigger star?"[102] Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone commented: "I think people respond to her sense of independence and dedication. It inspires people ... This is a prolific pop artist who is sometimes famous and successful, sometimes obscure, who nonetheless keeps making her own kind of music. Every few years, the spotlight comes back around to her—but her fans can trust that when the spotlight moves along, Pink will keep on writing Pink songs."[102] Powers adds that her mix of rock-style rebellion, emotional rawness, humor and "infectious" dance beats created "a model for the mashup approach of latter-day divas such as Avril Lavigne, Katy Perry, Kesha, and even Rihanna."[102] James Montgomery of MTV describes her as "a fabulously fearless pop artist" who can "out-sing almost anyone out there. She can out-crazy Gaga or Lily. She's the total pop-star package, everything you'd want in a singer/entertainer/icon. And still, she remains oddly off the radar. Such is the price of busting borders, I suppose."[116] Entertainment Weekly said: "She essentially invented the whole modern wave of Pop Diva Domination: You can draw a straight line from “Get This Party Started” to Katy Perry, Kesha, pre-messianic Lady Gaga, and post-weird Rihanna."[118] Glamour Magazine wrote: "When Pennsylvania-born Alecia Moore debuted in 2000, pop was dominated by long-locked blonds like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Jessica Simpson. Pink changed the game. Without her, the last 13-years of big-voiced, tough chick music is hard to imagine."[119] Jon O'Brien of AllMusic stated that Pink's music provided: "the benchmark for the careers of Kelly Clarkson and Katy Perry, to name just two.[120] John Murphy of musicOMH in his review of The Truth About Love stated that although she's never quite achieved the cultural impact (and infamy) of contemporaries such as Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, she’s proved surprisingly durable and influential (would there be any Katy Perry or Kesha without Pink?).[121]
Doing a cover story on Pink in 2012 The Advocate wrote: "The singer has changed the sound of modern pop music irrevocably. [...]paving the path for many of today’s most popular modern female artists, including Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Rihanna."[122] Bill Brotherton of the Boston Herald seconded this notion while reviewing The Truth About Love Tour saying: "It’s hard to imagine that Katy Perry, Rihanna and even Gaga would have achieved superstar status without 33-year-old Alecia Moore leading the way."[123]
Following her performance at the American Music Awards of 2012, LZ Granderson of CNN wrote: "... our culture's biggest sin may well be the auto-tuned syrup we've allowed to dominate the pop charts. All-time chart records are handed to vacuous acts such as the Black Eyed Peas and singing awards are given to vocal lightweights such as Taylor Swift [...] But thank God for Pink. [...] While Christina Aguilera has a tendency to oversing, Britney Spears can't sing, and Lauryn Hill sorta stopped singing, Pink has managed to carve a brilliant 13-year-career by being something that is incredibly rare these days—an artist."[124] British soul singer Adele considers Pink's performance at Brixton Academy in London as one of "the most defining moments" in her life, saying "It was the Missundaztood record, so I was about 13 or 14. I had never heard, being in the room, someone sing like that live. I remember sort of feeling like I was in a wind tunnel, her voice just hitting me. It was incredible."[125][126]
Pink's work has inspired several other artists including Kelly Clarkson,[127] Taylor Swift,[128] Katy Perry,[129] Christina Aguilera,[130] Demi Lovato,[131] Rita Ora,[citation needed] Ashley Tisdale,[132] Victoria Justice,[133] and Adele.[134]
Pink was proven to be favored artist in 2013 on American singing television shows. On American Idol's 12th season, Just Give Me a Reason, Try and Perfect were all covered by three of the top 4 finalists. Also Michelle Chamuel covered Pink four times, on the fourth season of the reality television show The Voice.
Pink's internet and social media life has proven strong, with 18 million followers on Twitter, and 23 million likes on Facebook page and 3 million subscribers on her official YouTube account.
Wealth
In 2010, she appeared on Forbes The Celebrity 100 list at #27, with earnings of $44 million.[149] In 2011, she appeared on Forbes The Top-Earning Women in Music list at #6 with earnings of $22 million, with an average of 1 million per show on the road.[150] In 2009, Billboard put her at the 6th place on their Money Makers list with the earnings of $36,347,658.[151]
Feuds
The feud first blossomed at the 2009 VMA awards when Kanye West jumped onstage and interrupted Taylor Swift while she was accepting her award for Best Female Video. "I'm sorry, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time," West declared during Swift's speech.[152] In a message on Twitter, Pink, who was in the audience, wrote: "Kanye west is the biggest piece of **** on earth. Quote me."[153] She added later: "My heart goes out to Taylor Swift. She is a sweet and talented girl and deserved her moment. She should know we all love her."
It was not until July 2013 that the matter was brought up again. West released a statement saying; "It ain't no love. What the **** was Pink performing? Don’t nobody know that song. Pink performed twice! Two songs? How the f*ck Pink perform two songs and I didn’t even get asked to perform Heartless. Heartless is the biggest song of the year! It had the most spins of the first quarter! I don’t know that Pink song! But I noticed that she's pink!" [154] Although Swift was said to be deeply upset by the 2009 VMAs humiliation, she commented this time by saying "Two VMA nominations!! If you vote and get us one, I promise to keep a firmer grip on the mic this time ; )", she tweeted following the nomination announcement.[155] Pink commented later the same day by also tweeting; "Oh come on y'all... If people secretly recorded me and all the **** I talk... It's all good. All love. And we all still here. Peace please."
Voice and timbre
Pink has a contralto vocal range.[95] She is regarded as one of the greatest voices in pop music, refusing to use pitch correction in her recordings.[citation needed] Throughout her career, she has received applause from critics for her powerful vocals.[96][97][98][99] Her voice has been described as "raspy" "husky" and "distinctive."[100] James Montgomery of MTV calls her "a deceptively good singer [...] who can out-sing almost anyone".[99] The Guardian describes her voice as "prodigious".[101] Ann Powers of the Los Angeles Times labelled her as "a powerhouse vocalist".[102] Pink has also received acclaim for her "raw", "soulful" voice and her ability to emote. The Inquirer defined her voice as "husky" and "gutsy", further complimenting her for developing into a "powerfully emotive vocalist", while comparing her to Janis Joplin.[103] The Star Tribune commends her by writing, "Her slightly raspy, slightly soulful voice made you feel the dysfunction in 'Family Portrait', the longing of 'Who Knew' and the empowerment in 'Perfect'."[104] CNN stated that Pink is known for singing "with the right level of emotion".[105] Fellow pop artist Kelly Clarkson believes that Pink's voice is "the best of our generation".[106]
I update the legacy section pretty frequently But I didn't add the American idol thing + YouTube stats (definitely doesn't belong in the legacy section)

Crystal Ball sucks & Beam Me Up is only good for emotion, definitely cheesy
You did not come for Beam Me Up... I think you're dead to me now.
That song is the best from TTAL and, even if I listened to it, like 30 times, I still get tears every time. This is the type of song only Pink can write and make it work. Pure emotion, based on her life experiences.
