The top pop music artist for October 19, 2010 was Pink with "Raise Your Glass". This song was released just 13 days before it became a top song.
Pinks birth name is Alecia Beth Moore, she was born on September 8^th, 1979, in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Her parent’s names are Judith Moore, and her father Jim Moore. Pink is a very outspoken vocal artist. Many of her songs have been major hits! Pink got her name from being embarrassed at a young age when she turned bright red from blushing so much. When she started going by “P!NK”, she had dyed her hair pink.
With Pink being such a hit with all of her amazing songs, she is also an Award-winning Grammy American singer/songwriter. Her sense of style has also made an impact on many people around the world, which includes the UK, Austria, and Australia.

 Pink wrote “Raise Your Glass” because she said that she "wanted to write a song about underdogs. The protagonists of many of her hit singles have never been part of the popular crowd.” She wanted to be able to show that those people who weren’t the best and most popular still get the notice and recognition that they need.

Here is part of the lyrics…



Cover



“So raise your glass if you are wrong

In all the right ways

All my underdogs

We will never be, never be

Anything but loud and nitty gritty

Dirty little freaks

Won't you come on, and come on and

Raise your glass

Just come on, and come on and

Raise your glass

So if you're too school for cool

And you're treated like a fool

You can choose to let it go

We can always, we can always

Party on our own”
