LMA(IL) and Who Knew are my two favourite songs on I'm Not Dead. :wub: Long Way To Happy & I'm Not Dead are my favourite album tracks from it (the former song is so heartbreaking :( ).

LMA is nice but just too safe and not P!nk-ish enough.

18. Funhouse | Funhouse



Average: 7.536 (More 10's)

Highest Scores: 10: (UltraChristmas, American Oxygen, Lindsey, bartsimpson, Noahspike, SeanGrey), 9: (Iz, T Boy, Liam, Chapman, Troublepink, Viper, Riser), 8.5/8: (JosephStyles, Alex, Nick F1, HonkyBonkXMAS, Joe, Ezra's Whore, Regina, Mr Pmt, Jark)
Lowest Scores: 2: (Fgiboy2511), 4: (gavindeejay, MIKEMYER)


At #18 is Funhouse, which scored the same average and score as "LMA", but I placed this higher due to it getting more 10's. Released in August 2009 as the 5th single from her 5th album of the same name. A wonderfully fierce track that like most of the album it speaks of her split from Carey Hart. Also stands as one of her more severe rockier songs, it may not be one of my personal faves from her, but it has had a lot of love on here with several high scores. To me it just lacks that memorable hook that some of her others had. The music video is awesome though, reminds me of "Tank Girl". The song did well in several countries worldwide by becoming her 16th top 10 hit in Australia, as well as top 10 peaks in Hungary, Austria, Swiss and Scotland. Along with top 20 peaks in Turkey, Sweden, New Zealand and Germany. In the UK it became her 22nd top 40 hit, by peaking at #29 and in the USA it wasn't as successful as the other singles which all went top 20 by peaking at #44.

17. Nobody Knows | I'm Not Dead



Average: 7.609

Highest Rates: 10: (Nick F1, HonkyBonkXMAS, Troublepink), 9/9.5: (JosephStyles, Ezra's Whore, T Boy, Vibe, Liam, dandy, MIKEMYER, Noahspike), 8.5/8: (Alex, Jonjuer East, Acidburn, gooddelta, Regina, American Oxygen, gavindeejay, n4yr, SeanGrey, Kylie Jackson, Riser)
Lowest Rates: 0: (Fgiboy2511), 4.5: (Atonement)


At #17 is Nobody Knows, released in November 2006 as the 4th single from her 4th album I'm Not Dead. This is another of her beautiful ballads, a sweet and sad moment that is often overlooked in her back catalogue and especially taken from her mammoth selling "IMD", this is definitely the most forgotten one from that era. As with all her ballads the vocals are amazing and the lyrics and music are sublime, this may have a familiar feel to it, but Pink brings enough to it to make it stand out from the crowd. It charted first in the UK and Ireland, peaking at #27 in both countries, and then was released worldwide in January 2007 where it made top 20 peaks in Germany, Swiss and France, along with top 40 peaks in Austria and Australia.
I think this is possibly your worst "out there" opinion to date. :( ( :kink: )
But he's correct tho... :kink:

 

'Funhouse' is dreadful and annoying. Did I not give it lower than a 4? :o shocked about that tbh.

16. God Is A DJ | Try This



Average: 7.69

Highest Rates: 10: (UltraChristmas, Regina, Mackenzie), 9: (Ezra's Whore, gooddelta, Viper, MIKEMYER, Jark, Noahspike), 8.5/8: (JosephStyles, Nick F1, Acidburn, T Boy, Dobbo, Troublepink, Aled, n4yr, Mr Pmt, SeanGrey, Riser)
Lowest Rates: 5: (gavindeejay), 6: (Chez Wombat, Liam, Mack, Simon, Vibe, Chapman)



At #16 is God Is A DJ, released in January 2004 as the 3rd single from her 3rd album Try This. Also making this the third to drop from this album leaving only one left in the running. Now this is a lot higher than I expected, honestly I thought that this would end up at around 23rd or 24th, but there is a lot of love for this single with 3 10's, 6 9's and 11 8's, no score lower than 5. This is probably the closet Pink has ever come to making a dance sound, while her songs have that usual spunk and attitude to them, there is underlining brilliance to them, but I wouldn't say that this is one of them, not to say that this is bad or anything, in fact it's a really good song and a definite standout from her 3rd album and an obvious single choice, it's just my opinion that she's had so much better since this as she progresses with each album. This does capture that essence of her earlier hit "GTPS" and the music video captures that club vibe of the song and along with a good chorus that mixes dance and rock pretty well. This was actually considered for the album's lead single, but "Trouble" ended up being chosen instead, so this ended up being bumped to the 2nd for the USA market and 3rd everywhere else. Upon release this was pretty much overlooked and didn't revive flagging album sales. Charting best in the UK with a #11 peak and made top 20 in Denmark and Norway, along with top 40 peaks in Australia, Austria, New Zealand, Netherlands, Swiss and Belgium. In the USA it became her first single not to chart on the Top 100, only charting on the US Mainstream Top 40 and US Dance Club songs chart.

15. Get The Party Started | Missundaztood



Average: 7.773

Highest Rates: 10: (Acidburn, UltraChristmas, Jay, Chez WoJosebat, American Oxygen, Beatrix Kiddo, gavindeejay, Riser), 9.5/9: (JosephStyles, Alex, HonkyBonkXMAS, Ezra's Whore, T Boy, gooddelta, Aled, n4yr, MIKEMYER, Jark, Kylie Jackson), 8.5/8: (Joe, Mack, Dobbo, Vibe, Chapman, Shivering Adam, Mr Pmt, bartsimpson)
Lowest Rates: -1: (Fgiboy2511, Viper), 3.5: (Jonjuer East)



At #15 we finally have the first of the "Missundaztood" era singles to drop Get The Party Started, released in October 2001 as the lead single from that album. This is where Pink's career really started as a re-introduction to the world and showing this is who Pink really is, a far departure from her previous R&B sound of the first album, this completely ignored that, by taking a totally new direction that could have easily spelled the end of her career, but luckily this was pulled off to perfection and really put her on the map. Boosting her C-List to an A-List star that she is today. This also successfully shows of her personality as someone whose fun and full of attitude and life. It may not be deep lyrically, it's not meant to be, just a catchy fun pop song that will always have a place in every Pink fan's heart. Quite surprised that out of the second album singles, that this would drop first, despite several high scores, it's probably due to the fact that this, like many other big hits was played to death everywhere and was even covered by Shirley Bassey in 2007 for the Marks and Spencer adverts which were everywhere and people probably got sick of it. But even so this will always be one of her most well known song and signature hit. Upon release it became a huge smash hit by becoming her highest charting hit at the time in both the USA and UK at #4 and #2 respectively, as well as topping the charts in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Romania and Spain, top 5 in Austria, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Swiss, Finland, Sweden and France. Successfully building up the hype for what would be her most successful album and era of her career.

Get The Party Started is one of the more memorable hits from her in my eyes. I thought it would be a few places higher, maybe even top 10.

Also some surprise at God Is A DJ just missing top 15 (but the Faithless song is better :P )

Get the Party Started waaaaay too low, God Is A DJ surprisingly high. 👀

14. Raise Your Glass | Greatest Hits...So Far



Average: 7.88

Highest Scores: 11: (Joe), 10: (Acidburn, Regina, Viper, MIKEMYER), 9.5/9: (Alex, Jonjuer East, Iz, Ezra's Whore, T Boy, gavindeejay, Fgiboy2511, Lindsey, Troublepink, Shivering Adam, Jark)
Lowest Scores: 3/3.5: (Chez Wombat, Atonement, Aled), 5.5: (Nick F1)



At #14 we have Raise Your Glass, released in October 2010 and was the lead single from her first compilation album Greatest Hits So Far. After being in the music business for more than a decade, this song celebrates that and is dedicated to her fans who have stuck by her through the years and honestly what a perfect celebration it is with it's joyful sound with some cleverly dumb lyrics that make pop into an artform, which is something many songs can fail at, but this does it perfectly with it's sleek production, brilliant vocals and decent songwriting. The song became an instant smash hit upon release, giving Pink her 3rd American #1 hit as well as topping the charts in Australia, Czech Republic and Hungary and elsewhere it went top 10 in Canada, New Zealand, Netherlands, Finland, Germany, Austria, Swiss and Ireland. In the UK, despite it only managing a #13 peak, it spent several weeks on the charts and sold over 425,000 copies earning a Gold disc, and becoming her 18th top 20 hit.

My eyes must be decieving me! Raise Your Glass is definitely one of her best! :angry:

13. Trouble | Try This



Average : 7.94

Highest Scores: 11: (Regina), 10: (Iz, Acidburn, Lindsey, Troublepink, Dobbo, MIKEMYER, Jark, Riser), 9.5/9: (JosephStyles, HonkyBonkXMAS, Ezra's Whore, T Boy, Beatrix Kiddo, Mackenzie, Chapman, Mr Pmt, bartsimpson, Kylie Jackson)
Lowest Scores: 0: (Fgiboy2511), 2: (American Oxygen)



At #13 is the last of the Try This era singles to feature here, Trouble, released in September 2003 as the 2nd single from her 3rd album. This had a much more rockier style to it, than the previous songs she had released before this, but with it's infectious chorus it does rank up there with some of Pink's greatest songs with it's swagger and fierce vocals and it gives you a taste of what's to come from the album, which may have lacked the addictive hooks her 2nd album had, but as it's own body of work it comes off very interesting. Plus it's Western themed video was awesome with Pink causing "Trouble" in a Western saloon and seducing and making a fool out of the Sheriff played by gorgeous actor Jeremy Renner. Upon release it didn't do very well in the USA peaking at #68, her lowest charting lead single and didn't bode well for the album either. But in the UK it fared much better by reaching #7. Elsewhere it managed top 10 peaks in Austria, Norway, Swiss, Germany, Australia, Denmark and Sweden, along with top 20 peaks in Italy and New Zealand, then finally top 40 in Belgium and Netherlands.
