Pink: Raising the bar (and our BPM).
Anyone remember a decade ago? When P!nk was a young, pink-haired R&B/Pop singer stuck in the long shadow of Britney and Christina? Well now P!nk is selling out stadiums worldwide, compiling a laundry list of huge pop anthems and dropping jaws at the Grammys, while Britney is a part-time umbrella model and Christina seems to have faded gradually into obscurity after her “Dirrty” phase. P!nk’s said jaw-dropper pushed her new single, “Glitter In The Air,” to #6 this week, while somewhere Ashanti and LFO are filling out their Starbucks employment applications.
Speaking of people you never thought you’d hear from again, everyone’s favorite fang-toothed Canadian punkster Avril Lavigne has managed to creep back into the 100 with “Alice,” the main track from Tim Burton’s upcoming megaflick, Alice In Wonderland.
The rest of the 100 is as expected. The Grammy winners (Taylor Swift, Kings Of Leon, Lady Antebellum) all moved up while some of winter’s staler songs have begun the imminent slide down the 100 (Britney Spears’ “3,” Chris Brown’s “I Can Transform Ya”). Cue Elton John’s “Circle Of Life.”
