Pink receives Billboard's Woman of the Year 2013 award

Pink received the Woman of the Year Award at the 2013 Billboard Women in Music event in New York City on Tuesday.
 
Pink, who scored her fourth No. 1 single on the Hot 100 earlier this year with "Just Give Me a Reason," a duet with Fun.'s Nate Ruess caps off a memorable year collecting this honour.
 
Reflecting on this year Pink said "It's been an incredible... 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."
 
Her sixth full-length, 'The Truth About Love' became her first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 after its release last September, with lead single "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)," "Try," "Just Give Me a Reason" and "True Love" earned a Grammy nomination earlier this year for Best Pop Vocal Album.
 
P!nk's five subsequent albums have peaked inside the top 10 of the Billboard 200, culminating with her first No. 1 late last year. Along the way, she's sold over 40 million albums and 65 million singles, including 20 million digital tracks. That includes 14 top 10 singles, with "Lady Marmalade," "So What," "Raise Your Glass" and "Just Give Me a Reason" reaching No. 1 in the U.S.
