Pink fans were shocked to discover just how deep Australia’s fandom for the singer ran after surprising facts about her success Down Under surfaced on Twitter.
The 43-year-old hitmaker regularly stops off in the Aussie nation while on tour and has experienced exponential success with record-breaking concert and album sales.
Listed as one of the most highly regarded touring artists in the country’s history, Pink – real name Alecia Beth Moore – first performed there in 2007 and has racked up millions of ticket sales ever since.
Her Australian The Truth About Love tour leg was the biggest-selling tour for a female artist in the country’s history in 2013.
Over the weekend, Twitter users copped on to her extreme popularity in Oz and began debating why she was so loved in a country that wasn’t her own.
The initial message came from a fan that had quoted a video of the star flipping through the air during a stunt-filled performance.

It read: ‘random but apparently Pink is incredibly popular amongst Australian moms to the point where every Pink tour has a few months blocked out for an Australian leg where she plays like 5 nights of sold out shows in every city [sic].’
Others chimed in offering their two cents on the Just Give Me A Reason chart-toppers fan base.

One typed: ‘i’m learning so much about pink’s aussie popularity in the replies to this tweet – radio dominance, 18-night sold out tour stops, arena plaques, bathrooms painted pink, aussies who either thought she was aussie or assumed that she was just as popular internationally [sic].’
Another joked: ‘I can totally imagine Aussie women of a certain age getting drunk and going to see Pink in concert. It just makes a lot of sense’
‘i can confirm this is exactly how it appears [sic],’ a fan posted underneath the thread on the social media app.
