Fans of “Raise Your Glass” songstress P!nk are doing just that after learning the songstress was named Billboard”s “Woman of the Year”.  Adding her name to a long-list of fellow chart-toppers like Beyonce, Katy Perry, and Taylor Swift, the Grammy-winning mom of one has seen the last year gift her with a host of career milestones.

Aside from landing a Grammy nod for her first #1 album on Billboard 200 (“The Truth About Love”), the year also brought with it her 4th #1 stint on the Hot 100 with “Give Me A Reason”.
