12. Blow Me (One Last Kiss) | The Truth About Love



Average: 7.964

Highest Scores: 11: (JosephStyles, SeanGrey), 10: (Acidburn, UltraChristmas, T Boy, Regina, Mackenzie, Troublepink), 9.5/9: (Alex, HonkyBonkXMAS, American Oxygen, Fgiboy2511, Simon, Viper, MIKEMYER, Jark, Noahspike)

At #12 we have Pink's comeback single Blow Me (One Last Kiss), released in July 2012 as the lead single from her 6th album The Truth About Love. Coming off the end of her last chapter which was her Greatest Hits collection in 2010, many wondered if Pink could carry on her massive success or lose that spark, like many have after their hits collection has been released (Christina Aguilera for example). But there was no doubt about it, Pink still had that magic touch she always does coming back full force with this little sparkly gem, that's classic Pink through and through, while it may not break any new ground, the song is still great with it's mixture of anger, humour and vulnerability, along with that classic melody that she's known for and successfully beginning a new chapter of her career. Upon release it brought her back into the charts full force by firstly reaching #5 in the USA where she is ranked 3rd among women with the most top 10 hits of the decade, behind Rihanna and Beyoncé, making this her 12th top 10 hit. In the UK it reached #3 making this her 16th top 10 hit. Elsewhere it topped the charts in Australia, Hungary and Scotland, as well as top 10 peaks in Japan, Canada, Slovakia, Venezuela, Czech Republic, New Zealand and Germany and then top 20 in Sweden, Austria, Belgium, Finland, Italy, Netherlands, Swiss and Spain.

11. f***in' Perfect | Greatest Hits...So Far



Average: 8.119

Highest Rates: 11: (UltraChristmas, Lindsey), 10: (Alex, HonkyBonkXMAS, Ezra's Whore, Beatrix Kiddo, Liam, Troublepink, Viper, bartsimpson, MIKEMYER, Noahspike), 9.5/9: (Jonjuer East, T Boy, Joe, Regina, Mack, Vibe, Jark, Riser)
Lowest Rates: -1/0: (Atonement, Aled), 3: (Chez Wombat)



At #11 we have the intelligently titled f***in' Perfect, released in December 2010 as the 2nd and final single from her first compilation album Greatest Hits...So Far. There was a lot of these self empowerment themed songs going around at the time (Firework, Born This Way, We R Who We R), but this stood out amongst the rest as musically it's very complex along with lyrics that are both specific and vivid. In fact everything about this song works and considering that it's a new song from a Greatest Hits album, just goes to show that Pink always puts in the effort when it comes to her music. A lot of artists normally just throw in some random songs for their hits collection, but not Pink and it's success shows, an anthem for the ages along with those amazing notes and something that will always be welcomed on concert tours. Upon release it became another smash hit for her as it reached #2 in USA, Canada, Hungary, New Zealand and Poland, as well as top 10 peaks in Denmark, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Slovakia, Germany, Austria, Australia and UK. Then finally top 20/40 peaks everywhere else.

I would love to see Please Don't Leave Me in the Top 5 :heart:
Let's just see what happens xx I'm satisfied that it's Top 10! BuzzJack displaying good taste. ;o

Glad DLMGM is in the top 10 but I'll be amazed if it gets the top 5!

 

Family Fortunes: The truth about love edition is happening right now in the P!nk forum, get your answers in asap, closes sometime tomorrow! 😃👍

I agree. I like it but it's definitely not bigger than the last few songs to me. Neither is Sober tbh.

It sure about PDLM

 

But the rest are great xx

So disappointed to see Perfect miss the top 10, easily in my top 3 Pink songs and probably my favourite. Such a beautiful song that means so much to me :heart:

10. Family Portrait | Missundaztood



Average: 8.25

Highest Rates: 11: (Vibe), 10: (Alex, Nick F1, HonkyBonkXMAS, Liam, Mackenzie, Chapman, Viper), 9.5/9: (JosephStyles, Ezra's Whore, Acidburn, T Boy, Regina, bartsimpson, MIKEMYER, Noahspike, SeanGrey)
Lowest Rates: 3: (Fgiboy2511), 6.5/6: (Iz, Simon, Shivering Adam)



Kicking off the top 10 is Family Portrait, released in December 2002 as the 4th and final single from her 2nd album Missunaztood. Topping off a very successful year for Pink which saw her totally change her identity and basically becoming her true self, making it clear that she is an amazing talent with an unique point of view. All of which shows in this track where it states that her family is falling apart and longs for harmony. This was probably the first time that we got an insight into her past coming from a broken family as she pleads for her family to stay together, which is something different to what she has done before in it's stripped back form and Pink's vulnerable vocals shows that she's not afraid to speak her mind and expose her real self. This was also a perfect way to the end the era, originally there was gonna be a 5th single
, but glad it wasn't as while it's a good song, it would have definitely got overlooked considering the album had already sold so much by that time. Upon release the song did well by reaching top 20 in both the UK and USA (#11 and #20) respectively, and elsewhere it managed top 5 peaks in New Zealand and Sweden, top 10 in Norway, Belgium, Germany and Netherlands, then finally top 20 peaks mostly everywhere else.

09. Sober | Funhouse



Average: 8.392

Highest Rates: 10: (Nick F1, UltraChristmas, Liam, Lindsey, Troublepink, n4yr, Mr Pmt, Jark), 9.5/9: (Alex, HonkyBonkXMAS, Iz, Acidburn, Mackenzie, Dobbo, Chapman, dandy, bartsimpson, Noahspike, Kylie Jackson), 8.5/8: (JosephStyles, Joe, T Boy, Jay, gooddelta, American Oxygen, Mack, Viper, Aled, Vibe, MIKEMYER, SeanGrey, Riser)
Lowest Rates: 3: (Fgiboy2511), 5: (Chez Wombat)



At #9 we have Sober, released in November 2008 as the 2nd single from her 5th album Funhouse. Making this the fifth from that era to bow out and 2 are left in the running. This is also the only song in the top 10 not to receive any 11's, but did receive a lot of high scores and only 2 low scores. This song tells a sad tale of a woman who only loves herself when she's drunk and wishes that she could like herself when she's sober, but can't seem to pull herself out of that spiral. All of this of course like the album itself was written about her split from husband Carey Hart. She really pours her emotions into her music and with songs like these it shows set against her usual rock sound, while the build up soars into the chorus, which is where she really lets rip, making this one of her most powerful songs to date. Upon release it did very well by reaching #15 in the USA following on from the massive success of it's lead single and becoming her 12th top 20 hit. In the UK it fared much better by reaching #9. Elsewhere it reached top 5 in Austria, Germany, Netherlands and Swiss, then top 10 in Australia, Hungary, New Zealand, Canada and Finland.

Was Sober not written when she was the only sober one at a party and she hid in a closet or something?

I always forget how much I enjoy this song till I hear it again <3
