2010 keeps getting better for Pink. The Pop superstar scored her third #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 this week as ‘Raise You Glass’ climbed to the top spot, finally ending the reign of Rihanna’s ‘Only Girl (in The World)’ which has now fallen to #3.  Pink’s previous #1 songs include last year’s ‘So What’ and 2001’s ‘Lady Marmalade’ – a collaboration with Mya, Lil Kim and Christina Aguilera.

Another act with reason to ‘raise their glass’ are the Black Eyed Peas whose ‘The Time (Dirty Bit)’ has risen from #13 to #9 on the chart. This achievement means that the group now has 9 top 10 singles, 6 of which were accomplished within the last 21 months.
