She released her first single "There You Go" and first album, the R&B oriented "Can't Take Me Home", in 2000 via LaFace Records.
Her pop/rock-based second studio album, "M!ssundaztood" was released in 2001 and is her biggest seller to date, featuring the chart-topping hits "Get The Party Started" & "Just Like a Pill".
Pink then followed up her 2001 album with "Try This" in 2003 featuring singles such as "Trouble" & "God Is A DJ".
After a brief break from music, she returned in 2006 with her fourth album "I'm Not Dead" that spawned six hit singles including "Stupid Girls", "Who Knew" & "U + Ur Hand".
Her fifth album, "Funhouse" was released in late October 2008 and was preceded by her first solo number one on the Hot 100, "So What".

Pink quote:
"If I wasted my time trying to be like everybody else when I was 10 and 11, I wouldn't be me today. So if you are gonna be the future rockstars, the future somebody, whatever you wanna be then you're wasting your time trying to be somebody else, because you'll never get to you"

"My fans mean more to me than they will ever know. I call these people my friends and my confidence and if they are here to see me and they are here to support me, then that's all I need in life."
