13) P!nk - 'Sober'
P!nk's Top 10 hit from 2008, 'Sober', is about not resorting to drink or drugs, but the desire to still be uninhibited. According to Songfacts, in an interview with MTV she said: "I wrote a song called 'Sober,' which is actually really dark.
"I was at a party at my own house, I didn't want to be there, I didn't want anyone else there. And I had this line in my head saying, 'How do I feel this good sober?,' it's not just about alcohol, it's about vices, we all have different ones.
"We try to get away from ourselves, and find our 'true selves' and then we do these things that take us so far from the truth, I guess that 'Sober' is 'How do I feel this good when it's just me, without anything to lean on?"
This music video has now had 158 million views.
14) P!nk - 'True Love' featuring Lily Allen
P!nk teamed up with British singer Lily Allen on this 2013 hit.

It broke into the Top 10 in the UK and is certified Platinum, and has had over 134 million views on YouTube.
16) 'Don't Let Me Get Me'
Released in February 2002, 'Don't Let Me Get Me' was another hit single from P!NK's breakthrough album 'Missundaztood'.

Along with the YouTube views, it was certified Gold by the BPI in June 2024 - so it's a pretty enduring track!
Similarly, the song is also about P!NK not conforming to what record labels in the early Noughties wanted her to be, which can be heard in the lyrics: 'Tired of being compared / To damn Britney Spears / She’s so pretty / That just ain’t me.'
