WHO KNEW - PINK
Pop radio is an unjust galaxy. Pink is, and always has been, one of the wiser, more profound young female millennium-era singer/songwriters, expressing a melodic signature that seldom disappoints. She also maintains plenty of star quality and a well-defined image as the alterna-pop princess. And yet top 40 seems to be missing the obvious: Previous single “Stupid Girls” stalled at a disappointing No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100. Follow-up “Who Knew,” the second single from the adventurous “I’m Not Dead,” is another bull’s-eye, a cool, smart and plenty passionate melodic gem, and an instantly identifiable, quick-to-the-point, sing-along track. Come on, radio, don’t forget those acts that kept the format alive during its darker days earlier in the decade. Billboard
