For almost two decades, Pink has been steadily scoring an array of hits, building up an impressive back catalogue and sales to match.

She's aced phases of R&B, angry punky pop, attitude-packed revenge anthems, and heartfelt balladry, but despite the chameleon-like nature of her music career, she's always been consistent.

With eighth album Hurts 2B Human on the way, led by new single Walk Me Home, and a BRITs Outstanding Contribution to Music Award win in 2019, we've looked at the story so far, to see how her albums – and their signature hits – have fared. Before we get to that, listen to Walk Me Home below:

Missundaztood

Bridging the gap between her slick R&B debut Can't Take You Home and the empowerment and energy that would shape the rest of Pink's career, 2002's Missundaztood felt like a breath of fresh air and, at the time, a huge change for Pink. If it had come any later in her career it may well have derailed her, but lead single, confident smash Get The Party Started, and her first solo number 1 Just Like A Pill, ensured its success. Missundaztood peaked at 2, spawned three Top 10s and has sold an impressive 1.85 million across all formats, spending 27 consecutive weeks in the albums Top 10. 

Top song: Just Like A Pill, on 517,000

Album: M!ssundaztood
Year: 2001
Official Charts Peak: 2

Is there anything more Noughties than replacing an ‘i’ with an exclamation mark? Twice? We th!nk not. In fact, this album went on to sell over 15 million copies worldwide, including 1.8 million in the UK, making it one of the most successful albums of the 2000's.

I'm Not Dead

She certainly wasn't! Pink was taking no prisoners with with her fourth album, reassuring fans that even though she'd got married to motocross racer Carey Hart, she hadn't lost her edge. Blistering take on celeb culture Stupid Girls was first of the album's five Top 40 hits. Reaching Number 3 in 2006, I'm Not Dead is her second bestseller, with a whopping tally of 1.4 million.

Top song: Who Knew, on 520,000

Album: I’m Not Dead
Year: 2006
Official Charts Peak: 3

After a three year hiatus, I’m Not Dead was released from what Pink called an “awakening”. Despite not reaching Number 1 in the UK, it has spent 100 weeks in the Top 100 and was the ninth best selling album of 2006.

Funhouse

I'm Not Dead's follow-up was Pink's breakup album, coming when her marriage to Carey Hart was on hiatus – they reunited soon after. Hart even appeared in the album's lead single So What, which became Pink's third Number 1, spending three weeks there in October 2008. Funhouse also has the honour of being Pink's first chart-topping album, spending six months in the Top 20 and producing four Top 40 singles. It's sold 1.29 million across all formats.

Top song: So What, on 829,000

Album: Funhouse
Released: November 2008
Official Charts Peak: 1

Pink originally wanted to call Funhouse ‘Heartbreak is a Mother*cker’, but her label refused - we can’t think why! The LP was P!nk's first UK Number 1 album.

Greatest Hits – So Far!!!

Many acts wait until their career has hit the skids before releasing a hits collection, but Pink made it clear she wasn't giving up – the "So Far" in the title offers a clue – and we think you'd agree she's made good on that promise. Leading off with the anthemic Raise Your Glass, Greatest Hits – So Far!!! went Top 5, and has sold 1.05 million across physical digital and streaming equivalent sales.

Top song: Raise Your Glass missed the Top 10 but still has combined sales of 672,000

Album: Greatest Hits… So Far!!!
Year: 2010
Official Charts Peak: 5

This compilation album celebrates Pink’s first decade in the music biz. She was reluctant to release it at such a young age, but ended up jumping on board with the project so that her record company didn’t put it out without her permission.

The Truth About Love

On 907,000 sales, Pink's 2012 studio album spent a year in the Top 40, spawning four Top 20s, starting with Blow Me (One Last Kiss). Pink by now was well-known for showing off not just her vocal abilities but her physical dexterity, incorporating acrobatics into her performances, and this influenced her music. The Truth About Love peaked at 2.

Top song: Just Give Me a Reason, feat Nate Ruess, shifting 1.25 million across all formats. SPOILER: It's Pink's biggest song in the UK.

Album: The Truth About Love
Year: 2012
Official Charts Peak: 2

Pink's sixth studio album features Eminem, Lily Allen and Nate Ruess and gave the singer her first Number 1 album in America. In the UK, it became her fifth Top 10 studio album.

As for the rest of Pink's albums, 2003's Try This is on 554,000, 2017's Beautiful Trauma – her second Number 1 album – is next on 513,000, and that debut Can't Take Me Home rounds off her set on 470,000.
