Pink To Tell 'The Truth About Love' This September

"Kiss" is P!nk's 12th Hot 100 top 10, a history that began with "There You Go" in 2000. Since the turn of the millennium, she boasts the third-most top 10s among women, trailing only Rihanna (22) and Beyonce (14). (She passes the 11 top 10s each totaled by Lady Gaga and Katy Perry in that span.) 

  

"Kiss" logs the largest leap into the Hot 100's top 10 since Drake's "Make Me Proud," featuring Nicki Minaj, bounded 97-9 the week of Nov. 5, 2011. 

  

Jepsen's "Maybe" continues its Hot 100 command, although it drops 1-2 after eight weeks atop Digital Songs (203,000, down 17%). It spends a fifth (nonconsecutive) week at its No. 2 peak on Radio Songs (126 million, down 5%), while leading On-Demand Songs (857,000 on-demand streams, down 13%, according to BDS) for a fifth week.

"Awake" remains bulleted at No. 5 on Radio Songs (97 million, up 11%) and darts 9-6 on On-Demand Songs (626,000, up 12%). 

  

Gotye's former eight-week No. 1 "Somebody That I Used to Know," featuring Kimbra, slides 3-4 on the Hot 100, while Ellie Goulding's "Lights" holds at No. 5 in its 30th week. While dropping in digital sales (150,000, down 6%) and on-demand songs (757,000, down 1%), "Lights" gains on Radio Songs, where it maintains its No. 6 rank (86 million, up 12%). 

  

Rihanna's "Where Have You Been" stays at No. 6 on the Hot 100 (after reaching No. 5 earlier this month). The track pushes 4-3 on Radio Songs (120 million up 4%), inches 18-17 on On-Demand Songs (408,000, down 4%) and slides 9-13 on Digital Songs (82,000, down 20%). 

 

  With the ascent of "Whistle," Flo Rida makes it three consecutive top 10s from his new album, "Wild Ones." "Good Feeling" reached No. 3 in January and the title cut, featuring Sia, rose to No. 5 in May. 

  

Surrounding P!nk's "Kiss" in the Hot 100's top 10, David Guetta's "Titanium," also featuring Sia, descends 7-8 and Usher's "Scream" holds at No. 10 for a fourth week. With 76,000 sold in the chart's tracking week, the latter song passes 1 million in digital sales since its release.

Greece's man for the big occasion

As Greece's Group A reckoning approaches, Vassiliki Papantonopoulou singles out the archetypal Greek soldier whose example can inspire them to victory against Russia. 

Twenty years ago, a lad of 15, wore the Greece national jersey for the first time as a member of the Under-17 team. He has gone on to play a total of 111 matches for the Greek under-age selections and 119 for the senior side.

He scored twice in a 5-0 win against a Netherlands side that featured Mark van Bommel, Boudewijn Zenden and Wilfred Bouma to get third place in the 1995 UEFA European Under-18 Championship.

Three years later, in 1998, he scored the winner against Michael Ballack's Germany in the semi-final, and captained his team to the final of the UEFA European U21 Championship, which Greece lost to Guti's Spain.

Six years later in Porto, he scored the first goal in Greece's 2-1 opening night win against Portugal, setting the tone en route to his nation's finest sporting achievement to-date, winning UEFA EURO 2004.

On Saturday night, he will once again wear national team kit and the captain's armband, and will lead his team-mates at the National Stadium Warsaw in a win-or-bust match against Russia, that will determine Greece's UEFA EURO 2012 fate. In the toughest and most significant match his side have played in two years, he will equal the Greek record of 120 caps set by another great captain, Theodoros Zagorakis.

Giorgos Karagounis – for it is he – is a unique figure in Greek football. He has never made magazine covers, and does not possess the face or the body that tend to attract attention. Yet this archetypal Greek soldier is in a league of his own. What makes him stand out? To borrow the words of fellow UEFA EURO 2004 winner Panagiotis Fyssas: "His passion, energy and will to win every match. He never thinks his time has passed and that he has given all he could possibly give to the team. He never feels finished. He could go on playing for another 200 years."

This passion that Karagounis brings onto the pitch is what Greece will need – and they need all 11 players on the pitch to show it. They also need his footballing brain, his ability to hold the ball and buy time – also multiplied by 11. For this will be more than a game of lungs and legs. Greece will need to bring their minds and souls into the match, just like their oldest teenager, their captain, has done all his life.
