Five years ago today, P!nk released the lead single from her ‘Beautiful Trauma’ album, ‘What About Us’.
It was a #1 hit in over ten countries.
In Australia, it became her ninth #1 single, and stayed on top for two weeks. This placed P!nk in third place (tied with Delta Goodrem) of female artists with the most #1 singles in Australia. It was also certified 4x Platinum.
In the US, it became her ninth #1 on the Adult Top 40 chart, her fourth #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart, and her third #1 on the Dance Club Songs chart.
P!nk said on the Graham Norton show that her record label sat her down before the release of the song for “the talk, that if you’re over 35 as a female pop star, that radio probably won’t play you” and she happily proved them wrong.
