It’s been an incredible 12 months for Pink, who notched her first Billboard No. 1 album with ‘The Truth About Love,’ and who has enjoyed her fourth No. 1 single on the Hot 100 with ‘Just Give Me a Reason.’
So no, we don’t need a reason to explain why Pink was honored with this award. She deserved it for a host of reasons. She joins esteemed company of previous Billboard Women of the Year like Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and Beyonce.
“I was absolutely shocked and surprised to hear that Billboard named me Woman of the Year,” Pink said about the accolade.”It’s been an incredible year and I feel so grateful to radio for sticking by me, and to the fans and friends and all of the incredible talent that I was fortunate enough to work with for this album.”
