If someone can post the weekly sales this album has had since its debut, I will add it to the OP and keep it updated throughout the era (until the next part of this thread, at least).
Well, if we're getting technical, if people want to vent their frustrations about the negativity towards the era and the way the lablel has handled the release...they can.

I'll say it again...I don't expect everyone to be hunky dory about everything, but I don't understand why the inclusion of "You Can't Win" in the bonus iTunes Session EP is treated with the same weight of RCA tanking My December. All I ask for is some perspective.

Very true. I think it's understandable if someone is disappointed their favorite album track wasn't included but YCW was, but I hardly think it's some important issue. I know I'm going to enjoy the EP regardless of which Stronger album track made the cut.

Perspective? Leaving behind doom and gloom? While discussing Kelly Clarkson?
Y'all must want this thread to flop as badly as Sober.
LOL, in seriousness, I haven't actually said much about my opinion on the era, other than my album review a while back...the only thing I have a genuine gripe about is the choice of MKIA as the lead single. I just think they could have, and should have, come stronger than that. But otherwise, everything has been spot on. I'm no fan of RCA but they've done right by Kelly this time and I honestly believe they'll continue to treat this era properly through 2012. And more importantly, Kelly looks happy...for as long as I've been a fan of hers I don't think I can recall another time that she has ever exuded this much happiness. And I'm not just talking about contentment with her new album, I mean contentment with her place in the world, her overall life, herself. When you look at her you can't help but see how she's absolutely glowing and I think that's fantastic.
I guess that's why I haven't said as much as I thought I would this era, because there's really no reason to complain...but when there's nothing to complain about that leaves some of us Kelly fans with very little to say, doesn't it?
So, the limit for threads is now 500 pages? I'm assuming that's the reason we started another one?
There wasn't a limit at all actually, but ProBoards has been acting glitchy and just about every thread that had more than 100 pages was collapsing. PB says that the problems that have been occurring are not due to the size of any thread, and thankfully we haven't lost any threads permanently, but we're erring on the side of safety now and reinstating the old 100-page limit rule.
Oooooh. A brand new thread. I don't really have much to say, other than that I love the WDKY video. I'm not completely sold on the fan submissions, but loved the Kelly parts. She looked hot and looked like she was having a blast. The flash mob scene at the end was brilliant. Especially her Kung-Fu moves. I would die if she ever did it in concert.
Even though the fan submissions are a bit cheesy, I think they are very necessary, because without them Kelly wouldn't appear to be dancing along with and becoming one with her fans, doing the What Doesn't Kill You Dance.
I think the entire point of the video is to show us that Kelly rules the world. The beginning of the video shows her in the control room singing to the world. The unsuspecting population proceeds to ditch their meaningless existence in order to worship the Queen. Kelly is viewing this all from her control room and once she is satisfied with the results she joins her army and destroys the haters with her iconic dance moves. It's a simple, yet effective concept.
'Kill' video youtube views: 225,000----> 1,170,000 view now
iTunes USA all-genre digital songs rank: # 192----> #137
I hope this video and song goes viral. I fully stand behind my belief months ago that this song will likely exceed the success of 'Suck' and perhaps match or even exceed that of 'Since U Been Gone'.
