Sorry if already posted.

Her song "U + Ur Hand" jumped from #52 to #36 this week on the Billboard Hot 100, after 10 weeks of lingering below the top-50. Now she has her 10th top-40 hit.

It's downloads have been doing good, and it's #31 on the Hot Digital Tracks Chart.

The song is also gaining impact on radio where it debuts at #64 on the Hot 100 Airplay Chart.

This is over a year of her album being out, and her second single "Who Knew" never even made the chart all together. So it's an un-expected hit. And it's about damn time!! I hope it makes the top-10.

That song's great, and it's been getting massive airplay in Canada for months now. I hope that success translates in the U.S. market.
 
I'm so happy for her! I was shocked when her album and singles flopped in the US.
 
Pink is awesome. Tons of cool song in her I'm Not Dead Album. Cuz I can, U + Ur Hand, Fingers, Dear Mr. President.

America is way too conservative for her, which is sad.

Not as much as others, like Beyonce, who has a video out every five minutes. Or someone like Paris Hilton, who does nothing but go round doing the 'Look at meeeee!' routine. She's had much better success with 'I'm Not Dead' outside the US, especially in the UK, 'Who Knew' stayed around in the chart for an age (which are the top 40, not 100), and 'U+Ur Hand' and 'Stupid Girls' have done extremely well. Her UK leg of her tour was also completely sold out.

Just because someone's not ripping up the states doesn't mean they're a commercial or critical failure by any means, Anastasia, Pink, Marilyn Manson and Scissor Sisters have all been successful BEFORE making it properly in the USA. By the way, a closer look at that list shows artists you can't put into neat boxes.

Just to point out again, not big in USA DOES NOT MEAN not big. It just means the rest of the world prefer eclectic life, whereas a lot of America likes the same old shit.
 
YAY I love Pink!!!! I hope she never stops making AWESOME music. Hopfully a video for Dear Mr. President will be next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
This single was out ages ago in the UK. Her latest single here is Leave Me Alone (I'm Lonely) which is her fourth release in the UK from the I'm Not Dead album. Maybe she's more popular in the UK and Europe than in Canada and the States.

I noticed a promotion on one of our music channels that she's supporting Justin Timberlake on tour but here she's the main act and has her own support act(s).
 
she is also huge over here in Australia. You and your hand was released ages ago over here , her new single here is "nobody knows"

No one said she was a failure in any way. I'm well aware of her success over-seas. I just think it's cool when an artist with actual talent actually has commercial success in the otherwise bland and predictable U.S Market :)
 
Well if you look at the success of American Idol you can see why the U.S. market is so bland and predictable. The manufactured singer seems more popular these days than the natural talented singer/songwriter.

*Ding Ding Ding* My thoughts exactly. ..|
 
I love Pink and I love "U + Ur Hand" and I've been pleasantly surprised by the fact that I've been actually hearing it on the radio a bit. "Who Knew" got next to no airplay around here.
 
I have Sirius satellite radio, and I have heard all of Pinks singles there. They are not controlled by record companies, so what the listener wants is what they play. In the US so many of the radio stations are paid or given free cd's to give out, or special "bonus" pay to dj's for playing a certain artist. That is why some of the horrid crap gets played non stop...
 
just glad she's getting the due she should be. i've been loving the album for awhile now and the vid for U + Ur Hand..i like it.
