Debuting in the late '90s with a radio-friendly R&B sound similar to a crop of other young performers, singer/songwriter P!nk quickly developed her own identity, transforming pop songcraft and powerhouse, rock-influenced vocals into a winning combination that kept her in the Top Ten for decades. From 2001's quintuple-platinum M!ssundaztood to 2003's Grammy-winning Try This, P!nk steadily made moves away from her early R&B style, teaming with songwriters <a href="spotify:artist:5tfiJ40SRxluWNgA6ruvSo">Linda Perry</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7v3ZMFl1E6X4isdEaOSnk3">Tim Armstrong</a> (<a href="spotify:artist:6xTk3EK5T9UzudENVvu9YB">Rancid</a>), and <a href="spotify:artist:7qKoy46vPnmIxKCN6ewBG4">Butch Walker</a> to give her rousing pop anthems a distinct rock edge. Nominated for over a dozen Grammy Awards, she won Best Pop Collaboration in 2002 for the hit cover of "Lady Marmalade" and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance in 2004 for "Trouble." She also won an Emmy in 2016 for "Today's the Day," the theme to The Ellen DeGeneres Show. In 2019, P!nk issued Hurts 2B Human, which, like her two previous efforts, topped the Billboard 200. Following the 2021 documentary and concert compilation All I Know So Far, she released her ninth album, 2023's Trustfall. With a string of number one singles and millions of albums sold globally, P!nk is one of the most commercially successful pop acts in the world. Born <a href="spotify:artist:6R9htKjJx70DWp0KgeGWRA">Alecia Beth Moore</a> on September 8, 1979, in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, P!nk received her nickname as a child, years before she dyed her hair accordingly. She grew up in a musical family and was a regular on the Philadelphia club scene by the age of 13, first as a dancer and then as a backing vocalist for the local hip-hop group Schoolz of Thought. At 14, she began writing her own songs; the same year, a local DJ at Club Fever began inviting her onstage to sing a song every Friday. P!nk was spotted one night by an executive for <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22MCA+Records%22">MCA Records</a>, who asked her to audition for an R&B group called Basic Instinct. Although P!nk's strong vocals landed her the gig, the group imploded not long after. She was quickly recruited for a female R&B trio called Choice, who signed to <a href="spotify:artist:3qEzkkBwK5vKVggMiZYOWa">L.A. Reid</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3aVoqlJOYx31lH1gibGDt3">Babyface</a>'s <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22LaFace%22">LaFace</a> label on the strength of their demo; however, they too disbanded due to differences over musical direction. During Choice's brief studio time, producer Daryl Simmons asked P!nk to write a bridge section for the song "Just to Be Loving You." Impressed with the results, P!nk rediscovered her songwriting muse, and an equally impressed <a href="spotify:artist:3qEzkkBwK5vKVggMiZYOWa">L.A. Reid</a> soon gave her a solo deal with <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22LaFace%22">LaFace</a>. P!nk recorded her solo debut, Can't Take Me Home, with a variety of songwriting partners and dance-pop and R&B producers. Released in 2000, the album was a double-platinum hit; it spun off three Top Ten singles in "There U Go," "Most Girls," and "You Make Me Sick." She toured that summer as the opening act for <a href="spotify:artist:6Ff53KvcvAj5U7Z1vojB5o">*N Sync</a>, but soon found herself tired of being pigeonholed as strictly a teen act despite her sassy, forthright persona. As she set about working on her follow-up album, P!nk took part in the remake of <a href="spotify:artist:0ty0xha1dbprYIUAQufkFn">Patti LaBelle</a>'s "Lady Marmalade" featured on the Moulin Rouge soundtrack, which also featured powerhouse divas <a href="spotify:artist:1l7ZsJRRS8wlW3WfJfPfNS">Christina Aguilera</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6lHL3ubAMgSasKjNqKb8HF">Mya</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:5tth2a3v0sWwV1C7bApBdX">Lil' Kim</a>. The Grammy-winning song was a massive hit, topping the charts in both the U.S. and U.K. while expanding P!nk's own audience. Toward the end of the year, P!nk released her next single, "Get the Party Started," which climbed into the Top Five and became the singer's most inescapable hit to date. Her accompanying sophomore album, M!ssundaztood, quickly went double platinum; it boasted a more personal voice and an eclectic sound, plus heavy contributions from ex-<a href="spotify:artist:0Je74SitssvJg1w4Ra2EK7">4 Non Blondes</a> singer <a href="spotify:artist:5tfiJ40SRxluWNgA6ruvSo">Linda Perry</a>, who helped bring more rock muscle to P!nk's sound (as did guest appearances by <a href="spotify:artist:32zks9ovi0IExzUd1C7W6o">Steven Tyler</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6uNjT2PKDfR7t48JKhajkh">Richie Sambora</a>). M!ssundaztood attracted positive critical notices as well, and its second single, "Don't Let Me Get Me," became another fast-rising Top Ten hit. P!nk next issued Try This in November 2003. The album continued her progression toward more rock-oriented material, due in part to the songwriting collaboration of <a href="spotify:artist:6xTk3EK5T9UzudENVvu9YB">Rancid</a> frontman <a href="spotify:artist:7v3ZMFl1E6X4isdEaOSnk3">Tim Armstrong</a> on eight of the album's tracks. Try This' lead single, "Trouble," cracked the upper regions of Billboard's Top 40 and earned P!nk a Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. On the home front, P!nk wed motocross racer Carey Hart -- whom she had initially met at 2001's X Games -- on January 7, 2006, in Costa Rica. Her next album, I'm Not Dead, appeared that April; its first single, "Stupid Girls," quickly became a hit, while "Who Knew" and "U + Ur Hand" both cracked the Top Ten. I'm Not Dead reached platinum status in several countries and helped ramp up anticipation of P!nk's follow-up, Funhouse, which arrived in October 2008. "So What," the album's leadoff single, became her first number one hit since "Lady Marmalade." Another single, the double-platinum "Please Don't Leave Me," followed in 2009. All these hits were collected on the 2010 release Greatest Hits...So Far!!!, which featured the previously unreleased single "Raise Your Glass," an uplifting dance anthem that scored P!nk another number one and was later certified quintuple platinum. Around the time of the release of Greatest Hits...So Far!!!, P!nk announced that she and her husband were expecting their first child. In September 2012, P!nk released her sixth studio album, The Truth About Love. With production from <a href="spotify:artist:2sWf9Tj6EsTxURcgil3NTG">Greg Kurstin</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7qKoy46vPnmIxKCN6ewBG4">Butch Walker</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1rjeVTt9Ra1ldvN7SpeK0G">Max Martin</a>, Dan Wilson, and others, it became her first number one album in America and earned platinum status in half a dozen countries. The singles "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)," "Try," and "Just Give Me a Reason" all hit the Top Ten in the U.S., and the last (a duet with <a href="spotify:artist:5nCi3BB41mBaMH9gfr6Su0">Fun.</a>'s <a href="spotify:artist:1qUjOF5fzrpoNycD36b2jZ">Nate Ruess</a>) became her fourth number one hit in America. P!nk mounted a year-long tour -- the third best-selling in 2013, according to Billboard -- through Australia, Europe, and North America, and at the end of 2013, she was named Woman of the Year by Billboard. Taking a break from her solo work, P!nk teamed up with <a href="spotify:artist:74gcBzlQza1bSfob90yRhR">City and Colour</a> vocalist Dallas Green for a collaborative acoustic effort called <a href="spotify:artist:0WO1Yn4pcC30HOKLD68JKm">You+Me</a>. They released their first album, Rose Ave., in October 2014. Rose Ave. debuted atop the Billboard folk chart and cracked the Billboard 200 Top Five. The following year, P!nk wrote a new theme song for The Ellen DeGeneres Show titled "Today's the Day," which won the singer an Emmy. She also contributed "Just Like Fire," a new song, to the 2016 movie Alice Through the Looking Glass. P!nk returned in August 2017 with the socially charged track "What About Us," the first single from her Beautiful Trauma album, which arrived in October. Upon release, the LP topped the Billboard 200 -- her second consecutive number one -- while "What About Us" and Beautiful Trauma were both nominated for Grammys. Kicking off her seventh world tour in early 2018, she spent the following year on the road, also contributing to <a href="spotify:artist:3PhoLpVuITZKcymswpck5b">Elton John</a>'s Revamp & Restoration project and The Greatest Showman: Reimagined compilation. In April 2019, P!nk released Hurts 2B Human, her third straight Billboard 200-topping album. She teamed up with <a href="spotify:artist:0u2FHSq3ln94y5Q57xazwf">Keith Urban</a> the following year for the single "One Too Many," and in 2021 she released "Cover Me in Sunshine," a duet with her daughter, <a href="spotify:artist:0gAILSEru1PKMwP0tAqNLS">Willow Sage Hart</a>. That track landed on All I Know So Far, a live companion to the documentary film of the same name, which was recorded mostly at London's Wembley Stadium in June 2019. The radio hit "All I Know So Far" was later nominated for a Grammy Award. In July 2022, she delivered the punk-edged women's rights single "Irrelevant," released in protest of the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade. At the end of 2022, P!nk issued "Never Gonna Not Dance Again" as a precursor to her ninth studio album, Trustfall, which arrived in early 2023. The anthemic set peaked at number two on the U.S. pop chart and featured production by <a href="spotify:artist:4oLeXFyACqeem2VImYeBFe">Fred Again</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1rjeVTt9Ra1ldvN7SpeK0G">Max Martin</a>, and Shellback, as well as appearances by <a href="spotify:artist:16oZKvXb6WkQlVAjwo2Wbg">the Lumineers</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:21egYD1eInY6bGFcniCRT1">First Aid Kit</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:4YLtscXsxbVgi031ovDDdh">Chris Stapleton</a>. "Dreaming," a collaboration between P!nk, <a href="spotify:artist:0Ty63ceoRnnJKVEYP0VQpk">Sting</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:64KEffDW9EtZ1y2vBYgq8T">Marshmello</a>, appeared in October and, along with "All Out of Fight," anchored the Tour Deluxe Edition of Trustfall, released in December. ~ Steve Huey & Neil Z.

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift is that rarest of pop phenomena: a superstar who managed to completely cross over from country to the mainstream. Others have performed similar moves -- notably, <a href="spotify:artist:32vWCbZh0xZ4o9gkz4PsEU">Dolly Parton</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5W5bDNCqJ1jbCgTxDD0Cb3">Willie Nelson</a> both became enduring pop culture icons based on their 1970s work -- but Swift shed her country roots like they were a second skin; it was a necessary molting to reveal she was perhaps the sharpest, savviest populist singer/songwriter of her generation, one who could harness the zeitgeist, make it personal and, just as impressively, perform the reverse. These skills were evident on her earliest hits, especially the neo-tribute "Tim McGraw," but her second album, 2008's Fearless, showcased a songwriter discovering who she was and, in the process, finding a mass audience. Fearless wound up having considerable legs not only in the U.S., where it racked up six platinum singles on the strength of the Top Ten hits "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me," but throughout the world, performing particularly well in the U.K., Canada, and Australia. Speak Now, delivered almost two years later, consolidated that success and moved Swift into the stratosphere of superstardom. Her popularity only increased over her next three albums -- Red (2012), 1989 (2014), Reputation (2017) -- and found her moving assuredly into a pop realm where she already belonged. Even when she scaled back her approach with 2020's stripped-down sibling releases folklore and Evermore, she remained atop the pop world, a position she maintained with re-recordings of her back catalog along with Midnights, a moody album released in 2022. This sense of confidence had been apparent in Taylor Swift since the beginning. The daughter of two bankers -- her father, Scott Kingsley Swift, worked at Merrill Lynch; her mother, Andrea, spent time as a mutual fund marketing executive -- Swift was born in Reading, Pennsylvania, and raised in suburban Wyomissing. She began to show interest in music at the age of nine, and <a href="spotify:artist:5e4Dhzv426EvQe3aDb64jL">Shania Twain</a> wound up as her biggest formative influence. Swift started to work regularly at local talent contests, eventually winning a chance to open for <a href="spotify:artist:6UpFUXmXvDV7Qj1SPymamh">Charlie Daniels</a>. Soon, she learned how to play guitar and began writing songs, signing a music management deal with Dan Dymtrow; her family relocated to Nashville with the intent of furthering her music career. She was just 14 years old but on the radar of the music industry, signing a development deal with <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22RCA+Records%22">RCA Records</a> in 2004. Swift sharpened her skills with a variety of professional songwriters, forming the strongest connections with <a href="spotify:artist:7pcKyVIatvXoHdZRr4Q3vT">Liz Rose</a>. Taylor's original songs earned her a deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing, but not long after that 2004 deal she parted ways with Dymtrow and <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22RCA%22">RCA</a>, all with the intent of launching her recording career now, not later. Things started moving swiftly once Swift came to the attention of Scott Borchetta, a former <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22DreamWorks+Records%22">DreamWorks Records</a> exec about to launch <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Big+Machine+Records%22">Big Machine Records</a>. Borchetta saw Swift perform at a songwriters showcase at the Bluebird Cafe and he signed her to <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Big+Machine%22">Big Machine</a> in 2005; shortly afterward, she started work on her debut with producer Nathan Chapman, who'd previously helmed demos for Taylor. Boasting original song credits on every one of the record's 11 songs (she penned three on her own), Taylor Swift appeared in October 2006 to strong reviews and Swift made sure to work the album hard, appearing at every radio or television event offered and marshaling a burgeoning fan base through the use of MySpace. "Tim McGraw," the first song from the album, did well, but "Teardrops on My Guitar" and "Our Song" did better on both the pop and country charts, where she racked up five consecutive Top Ten singles. Other successes followed in the wake of the debut -- a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist (she lost to <a href="spotify:artist:6Q192DXotxtaysaqNPy5yR">Amy Winehouse</a>), stopgap EPs of Christmas songs -- but Swift concentrated on delivering her sophomore set, Fearless. Appearing in November 2008, Fearless was certified gold by the RIAA in its first week of release, and the record gained momentum throughout 2009, earning several platinum certifications as "Love Story," "White Horse," "You Belong with Me," "Fifteen," and "Fearless" all scaled the upper reaches of the country charts while "You Belong with Me" nearly topped Billboard's Hot 100. Along with the success came some headlines, first in the form of an infamous appearance at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards where her acceptance speech was interrupted by <a href="spotify:artist:5K4W6rqBFWDnAN6FQUkS6x">Kanye West</a>, who burst on-stage to declare that Swift's rival <a href="spotify:artist:6vWDO969PvNqNYHIOW5v0m">Beyoncé</a> deserved the award more, but her romances also started gaining attention, notably a liaison with Twilight star Taylor Lautner, who appeared with the singer in the 2009 film Valentine's Day. Her flirtation with the silver screen proved brief, as she then poured herself into her third album, Speak Now. Released in October 2010, Speak Now was another massive first-week smash that refused to lose momentum. Hit singles like "Mine" and "Mean," which won two Grammy Awards, played a big factor in its success not just on the country charts but on pop radio as well. Following a 2011 live album called World Tour Live: Speak Now, Swift turned toward following a pop path on her fourth album, hiring such mainstream musicians as <a href="spotify:artist:045EiHd7X7cCjlamF0LV2M">Dan Wilson</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7qKoy46vPnmIxKCN6ewBG4">Butch Walker</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:26dSoYclwsYLMAKD3tpOr4">Britney Spears</a> producer <a href="spotify:artist:4e1KgW8FCqVytLFSzEYEKo">Max Martin</a>. This mainstream pulse was evident on "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," the first single from Red. Upon its October 2012 release, Red shattered expectations by selling over a million copies in its first week, a notable achievement that was doubly impressive in an era of declining sales. Once again, Swift's album had legs: it was certified platinum four times in the U.S. and its international sales outstripped those of Speak Now. She supported Red with an international tour in 2013 and more hits came, including "I Knew You Were Trouble" and "22." As Swift geared up for the release of her fifth album in 2014, she made it clear that 1989 was designed as her first "documented, official" pop album and that there would be no country marketing push for the record. "Shake It Off," an ebullient dance-pop throwback, hit number one upon its August 2014 release. When 1989 appeared in late October 2014, it once again shot to number one and became her third straight album to sell one million copies in its first week (a new record for any artist). Swift gathered many awards during the subsequent year, including Billboard's Woman of the Year, the Award for Excellence at the American Music Awards, and a special 50th Anniversary Milestone Award from the CMAs. Her 1989 World Tour crossed Asia, North America, and Europe during the last half of 2015, and she won three Grammy Awards at the 2016 ceremonies, including Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Music Video for "Bad Blood." At the end of 2016, she released "I Don't Wanna Live Forever," a duet with ZAYN from the soundtrack for Fifty Shades Darker. The single reached the Top Five across the world. Swift returned with her sixth album, Reputation, in November 2017. Preceded by the number one hit single "Look What You Made Me Do," Reputation debuted at number one, and while it didn't replicate the success of 1989, the album did help underscore her popularity while also pushing her toward mature musicality. Reputation was Swift's final record for <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Big+Machine%22">Big Machine</a>. In November 2018, she signed with <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Universal+Music+Group%22">Universal Music Group</a>, which distributed her new albums under its <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Republic+Records%22">Republic Records</a> banner. The first album in this contract was Lover. Released in August 2019, Lover was preceded by two singles, "Me!" and "You Need to Calm Down," which both reached number two on the Hot 100 and helped push the album to number one. The acclaimed LP and two of its singles received a total of three nominations at the 62nd Grammy Awards. Swift's plans to support Lover with a tour in 2020 were scrapped due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With some unexpected time on her hands, she wrote and recorded a new set of songs, many in collaboration with <a href="spotify:artist:2hSyEBc9TBb9j38FOCdkIf">Aaron Dessner</a> of <a href="spotify:artist:2cCUtGK9sDU2EoElnk0GNB">the National</a>; <a href="spotify:artist:4LEiUm1SRbFMgfqnQTwUbQ">Bon Iver</a> and longtime Swift associate <a href="spotify:artist:414TS3VqZf1XPCBixdmX9n">Jack Antonoff</a> also contributed. The resulting album, folklore, was released on July 24, 2020, and went straight to the top of the Billboard 200. Less than five months later, Swift released a companion album to folklore called Evermore. Featuring many of the same collaborators as its predecessor, the Grammy-nominated Evermore debuted at number one upon its December 11, 2020 release. Altogether, the sibling LPs planted Swift atop the U.S. charts for a combined 11 weeks, and folklore became the best-selling album of 2020. In 2021, she began the process of re-recording her back catalog after her <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Big+Machine%22">Big Machine</a> masters were sold off in 2019, starting with 2008's Fearless. The first of these tracks -- "Love Story (Taylor's Version)" -- arrived that February, with Fearless [Taylor's Version] arriving in April. The new version of Fearless contained cameos from <a href="spotify:artist:6aZyMrc4doVtZyKNilOmwu">Colbie Caillat</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0u2FHSq3ln94y5Q57xazwf">Keith Urban</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:6WY7D3jk8zTrHtmkqqo5GI">Maren Morris</a>, along with several previously unheard tunes originally written during the same time period; it debuted at number one on Billboard upon its release. Swift next revisited Red, releasing Red [Taylor's Version] in November 2021. This revamp of the 2012 album featured new duets with <a href="spotify:artist:1r1uxoy19fzMxunt3ONAkG">Phoebe Bridgers</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4YLtscXsxbVgi031ovDDdh">Chris Stapleton</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:6eUKZXaKkcviH0Ku9w2n3V">Ed Sheeran</a>, along with a ten-minute version of the ballad "All Too Well." Another re-recording, "This Love (Taylor's Version)" (originally off 1989), arrived in May 2022 and was included in the soundtrack to the coming-of-age drama The Summer I Turned Pretty. Swift opened up another chapter in her career with the October 2022 release of Midnights, an album co-produced by <a href="spotify:artist:414TS3VqZf1XPCBixdmX9n">Jack Antonoff</a> and featuring a duet with <a href="spotify:artist:00FQb4jTyendYWaN8pK0wa">Lana Del Rey</a> on "Snow on the Beach." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
