The nerve of people putting Britney, Beyonce, Ke$ha, Nick Minaj in top 5 of their list and excluding Pink
Britney: Did she even push 2m albums worldwide, she's FADING and only popular cos EVERYBODY USED TO know her and now she's a nostalgic act.
Beyonce: Fail to get a radio/digital hit pretty much anywhere in the world. She is a meek shadow of the phenomenon she was, just last era of hers.
Ke$ha: a few hit songs here and there ain't enough, she's nothing when it comes to touring, album sales, general recognition worldwide etc.
Nicki Minaj: LOCAL
On the other hand Pink continues to slay effortlessly on her break:
-A greatest hits collection selling out the competetion of studio albums (approximately 3m worldwide now)
-On the verge of going twenty something platinum with irrelevant releases like live DVD's etc. in Australia.
-One of the few who actually made an impact in Asia (along with Lady Gaga and Avril Lavigne)
-Presence in Middle East
-Decent recurrent airplay, catalog sales, digital power, tour hype and longevity
