Pink Takes Number 2 Spot on Impressive List

Author Joel Katz
P!nk performs onstage during "Summer Carnival World Tour" at Strawberry Arena on July 25, 2024 in Stockholm, Sweden.

It’s hard to not be a fan of Pink, not just because of her music, but her vibe, attitude, and the way she looks at life. She grew up not very far from where I was born, she had some challenges, but ultimately achieved success. Her story is truly amazing.

The Pink Summer Carnival tour has now become the second-highest-grossing by a woman in history.

Let’s be honest, it’s not likely that anyone is ever going to rake in more cash than Taylor Swift has on her uber-successful Eras Tour. It’s been reported that Taylor’s tour estimates have grossed more than a billion dollars, but Pink’s tour has come respectfully close to that.

Pink Concert Total Gross

According to Billboard, during her one hundred twenty-eight shows over a year and a half, Pink grossed close to seven hundred million dollars, just under six hundred ninety four million bucks. She sold four point eight million tickets.

The ticket sale figure includes her Summer Carnival tour shows, her Trustfall Tour last year, and her Pink Live 2024 in the fall. That includes all the shows she’s performed for the past two years to the present 2024.

The Summer Carnival tour alone pulled in nearly five hundred and eighty-five million dollars, and that number makes the tour the second highest grossing for any woman.

Pink just passed Beyoncé, who took in just under five hundred eighty million on her Renaissance World Tour. Other top-grossing tours among women are Madonna’s Sticky & Sweet tour, which ran from 2008 to 2009, and her earlier Beautiful Trauma World Tour, which ran from 2018 to 2019.

Among all artists, The Summer Carnival Tour ranks eighth in terms of revenue. It included five legs across three continents, including twenty-two shows in North America. When it wrapped up on November 20th, she shared on Instagram, “From the bottom of my heart: Thank you all.”

Pink's 15 Best Music Videos Ranked

We love P!nk, so we ranked our 15 favorite music videos the eccentric singer and songwriter has come out with since her 2000 debut album, Can’t Take Me Home. For the last 20 years, she’s given us hits like “Get the Party Started,” “There You Go” and “So What.” P!nk, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore Hart, celebrates her birthday on September 8. The acrobatic firecracker of a popstar has given different explanations about how she came to the nickname of Pink, which she has had since she was a child growing up in Pennsylvania. At 14 years old, she was convinced to audition to join the all-female group Basic Instinct and earned a spot in the lineup. However, the group disbanded without releasing any material.

P!nk’s Early Music Career

Two years later, P!nk and two other teenage girls, Sharon Flanagan and Chrissy Conway, formed the R&B group Choice. A copy of their first song, “Key to My Heart,” was sent to LaFace Records in Atlanta, Georgia, where composer and producer L.A. Reid overheard it and arranged for the group to fly there so he could see them perform. After that, he signed them to a record deal. The girl group relocated to Atlanta and recorded an album, which was never released, but “Key to My Heart” appeared on the soundtrack to the 1996 family comedy film Kazaam. During a Christmas party, Reid gave Pink an ultimatum: go solo or go home, so Choice disbanded in 1998.

Solo Success

One year later, Pink signed a recording contract with LaFace Records and released her first solo album, Can’t Take Me Home, which found commercial success. In 2001, she joined singers Christina Aguilera and Mýa and rapper Lil’ Kim, for a cover of “Lady Marmalade” for the soundtrack of Moulin Rouge!. In the US it became the most successful airplay-only single in history, as well as Pink’s first No. 1 single. The success of the single was helped by the music video, which was popular on music channels at the time.

Take a look below at our top 15 P!nk music videos ranked.

  • 15. Walk Me Home

    For the dance shadow choreography alone, P!nk’s music video for “Walk Me Home” earns the number 15 spot on our list of best videos.

  • 14. Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken

    The emotional black-and-white video featuring her daughter, Willow Sage Hart, has us in our feels.

  • 13. What About Us

    P!nk involving interpretive dance in “What About Us” is the perfect culmination of acting and choreography.

  • 12. Funhouse

    From her 2008 album of the same name, “Funhouse” shows P!nk frolicking around with “evil clowns,” burning down memories and quite literally — a house.

  • 11. There You Go

    When P!nk emerged on the scene in 2000 with her bright pink hair, she showed us a powerful woman with attitude who doesn’t give a damn what anyone thinks.

  • 10. U + Ur Hand

    P!nk’s alter egos in “U + Ur Hand” can beat us up anytime, as she shows us with her boxing skills and fiery red hair.

  • 9. Most Girls

    P!nk’s fashion choices in “Most Girls” have all come back in 2021: rocking a metal crop top and baggy pants and a baby blue furry hat with matching bikini top and leather pants.

  • 8. Don't Let Me Get Me

    P!nk proclaimed that when she got to L.A. they told her, “You’ll be a pop star. All you have to change is everything you are,” but that just ain’t P!nk!

  • 7. Please Don't Leave Me

    In an attempt to stop her lover from leaving, P!nk takes things to the extreme in the music video for “Please Don’t Leave Me.”

  • 6. Stupid Girls

    In a parody of what America covets “hot girls” like Paris Hilton in the early 2000s, P!nk rejects the fake tans and fake boobs, opting for outcasts and girls with ambition.

  • 5. So What

    P!nk playfully shows us how much she hates love in the music video for “So What” — chopping down trees with names etched in on them and fighting a newlywed couple who had the unfortunate pleasure of stopping next to her on the street.

  • 4. Just Like Fire

    P!nk shows off her cirque du soleil skills, as “Just Like Fire” was featured on Disney’s 2016 Alice Through The Looking Glass soundtrack. A chess scene involving many P!nks is definitely the highlight of the music video.

  • 3. All I Know So Far

    P!nk’s music videos are practically mini movies, as “All I Know So Far” features out-of-this-world places and characters, and even a cameo by Cher!

  • 2. Beautiful Trauma

    The 1950s cinematography of “Beautiful Trauma” is what reeled us in for this music video, but the Channing Tatum playing the part of her husband got us locked in. The duo even do a gender-swap, with Tatum wearing a dress and silk gloves, while P!nk opted for a suit and tie.

  • 1. Get The Party Started

    After making it’s debut in 2001, “Get The Party Started” became a go-to party anthem, even twenty years later. The music video shows P!nk getting ready for a night of clubbing, but unfortunately for her, the car runs out of gas on the way to the club, so she and her friend steal a couple skateboards to get there — only to be refused entry. Thinking on her feet, they use a scaffold to bring them to the top of the building so they can sneak in.
