Pink

Alecia Beth Moore (born on September 8, 1979), known professionally as Pink (often stylized as P!nk), is an American singer-songwriter who gained prominence in 2000.

Moore took a break to write the songs for her fourth album, I'm Not Dead, which she said she titled as such because "It's about being alive and feisty and not sitting down and shutting up even though people would like you to." Pink worked with producers Max Martin, billymann, Christopher Rojas, Butch Walker, Lukasz Gottwald and Josh Abraham on the album. It was released in April 2006 through LaFace Records and reached the Top 10 in the U.S., the top five in the UK and number one in Australia and Germany. It was a substantial success throughout the world, particularly in Australia, but it was Moore's lowest seller in the U.S. until the success of the single "U + Ur Hand" in early 2007. I'm Not Dead is her second biggest seller worldwide, with sales of 5.8 million to date. On September 23, 2007 "I'm Not Dead" broke the record for the longest album to consecutively remain in the Australian Top 10 albums chart, lasting 77 weeks. Eventually the album went number-one in 7 countries. The album is was the tenth biggest selling album of 2006. And the fifth biggest selling album of 2006 up to date.

Lead single "Stupid Girls" gave Moore her biggest U.S. hit since 2002 and earned a Grammy Award nomination for "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance". Its music video, in which she parodies celebrities such as Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton, won the MTV Video Music Award for "Best Pop Video". She called the song a "highlights the culture's relentless and unrealistic pursuit of thinness and unattainable drive for physical beauty". Subsequent singles "Who Knew" and "U + Ur Hand" were substantial hits in Australia and Europe, and they later became top ten singles in the U.S. in 2007. The non-U.S. singles were "Nobody Knows", a minor hit in the UK, Australia and Germany; "Dear Mr. President", an open letter to American President George W. Bush and a top five hit in Germany, Australia and other European countries; though Pink first stated that the song would never be a single because she didn't want the song to be a publicity stunt. She later changed her statement and said it would never be released in America after the song was released as a download track in Belgium. "Leave Me Alone (I'm Lonely)" became the next single, which reached the UK Top 40 (on downloads only) and the top five in Australia. Due to the massive success of the album, "'Cuz I Can" is going to be released as a seventh single in Australia.

Moore toured around the world during 2006 and 2007 on her I'm Not Dead Tour, for which ticket sales in Australia were particularly high, with Moore performing seven sell-out shows in Sydney alone. She sold approximately 307,000 tickets in Australia, giving her the record for the biggest concert attendance for an arena tour by a female artist. She performed 35 shows in Australia alone, breaking a record previously held by Kylie Minogue. She released a special tour edition of the album in Australia and New Zealand. It gave an impulse for the album in New Zealand when it came back in the chart and eventually went to number-one. Her tour contains 173 shows on 5 different continents. One of the shows on the tour was taped and released as a DVD in 2007, Pink: Live from Wembley Arena. In 2007, she opened for Justin Timberlake on the American leg of his FutureSex/LoveShow Tour. While in Australia she attended the 2007 MTV Australia Video Music Awards, performing her smash hit "U+Ur Hand" along with a sky show. She also won two MTV awards "Best Female Artist" and "Download Of The Year".

In 2006, Moore was chosen to sing the theme song for NBC Sunday Night Football, "Waiting All Day for Sunday Night", which is a take on "I Hate Myself for Lovin' You" by Joan Jett. She contributed a cover of Rufus' "Tell Me Something Good" to the soundtrack of the film Happy Feet, and lent her name to PlayStation to promote the PSP, a special pink edition of which was released. She was on the remix to India.Arie 2006 song "I Am Not My Hair" featured in the Lifetime television film Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy.
