Pink (singer)
American singer, songwriter, and actress (born 1979)
Alecia Beth Moore-Hart (born September 8, 1979), known professionally as Pink (stylized as P!nk or P!NK, in all caps), is an American singer and songwriter. She is known for her acrobatic stage presence.
At age 15, Pink formed the short-lived girl group Choice, which signed with LaFace Records in 1995, although they disbanded without major releases. Her debut studio album, Can't Take Me Home (2000), received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Produced by label boss Babyface and influenced by contemporary R&B, the album spawned US Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 singles: "There You Go" and "Most Girls". Pink gained further recognition for her 2001 collaborative single "Lady Marmalade" from the soundtrack of Moulin Rouge!, which peaked atop 13 international charts, including the US, and earned her first Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals. Pink shifted to pop rock with her second album, Missundaztood (2001), which sold over 13 million copies worldwide and yielded three Top 10 singles: "Get the Party Started", "Don't Let Me Get Me", and "Just Like a Pill".
While Pink's third album Try This (2003) sold significantly less than her second album, it earned a Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. Her fourth and fifth studio albums, I'm Not Dead (2006) and Funhouse (2008), saw a commercial rebound and spawned the Top 10 singles "Who Knew" and "U + Ur Hand", as well as the US No. 1 single "So What".
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Pink (singer)” as american singer, songwriter, and actress (born 1979). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as american singer, songwriter, and actress (born 1979). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q160009. VIAF identifies the subject as 125145969949332250345. The Library of Congress control number is no2001005090. 4 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 3 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1979, 1995, 2000 and 2001.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
