Under the Pink is the second studio album by singer-songwriter Tori Amos. Upon its release in January 1994, the album debuted atop the UK Albums Chart[5] on the back of the hit single "Cornflake Girl", and peaked at number 12 in the US.[6]

The album was certified double Platinum in the US by the RIAA in October 1999,[7] for sales exceeding 2 million copies. It was the 61st highest-selling album of 1994 in the UK[citation needed] and was certified platinum by the BPI in February 2007,[8] for sales exceeding 300,000 copies.

Under the Pink was included in Blender magazine's list of 500 CDs You Must Own,[9] and was voted among the greatest albums of the 1990s by Rolling Stone magazine some years later.[10] A special double-disc tour edition was released exclusively in Australia and New Zealand in November 1994, titled More Pink: The B-Sides.
