Some Global Sales info Mr Know it all is at #18 with another week of 100.000+points. The song is in it's 8th week of top 20 rankings and over 1.5 million points in the top 40. Interesting facts -A Moment like this (12 weeks in top 40, #23 peak) -Miss Independant (17 weeks in top 40, #16 peak) -Breakaway (29 weeks in top 40, #17 peak) over 2.3 million points in top 40 total -Since You Been Gone (36 weeks in top 40, #8 peak, 21 weeks in top 20) over 4 million points in top 40 total -Hazel eyes (34 weeks in top 40, #15 peak, 16 weeks in top 20) over 3.5 million points in top 40 -Because of you (45 weeks in top 40 32 in top 20, 17 in top 10, #4 peak) over 6 million points in top 40 -Walk AWay (13 weeks in top 40, #16 peak) over 1.1 million points in top 40 -Never Again (16 weeks in top 40, #19 peak) over 1.3 million points in top 40 -My Life (22 weeks in top 40, 17 top 20, 12 top 10 weeks, #3 peak) over 3.7 million points in top 40 -IDNHU (7 top 40 weeks, #25 peak) close to 600.000 points in top 40 -Already Gone (17 weeks, #26 peak) over 1.4 million points in top 40 **Mr Know it all** (12 top 40 weeks, #8 peak) over 1.5 million The album fell out of top 40 with over 40.000 this week...at about 584.000 ***ALL INFO FROM GLOBAL TRACK CHART*** What's a point equivalent to? I thought Because Of You was number 1 in 9 countries, so it's odd that it only peaked at number 4. im assuming the points are very similar to sales?

Great news on the sales! Shameless plug: Getting into the top tens on my ultimate Kelly ranking, so if anyone's interested in venting their disagreements or praising my exact correctness, feel free. Cannot WAIT for Divas tonight.

LMAO. zekNcashe ezekiel crawford #RacialDraft We the black people trade keri hilson for kelly clarkson There were soooo many more. In fact, about every third tweet about Kelly on twitter has been about how she has to be black- both body and voice, and/or how Kelly is singing better than most of these soul singers, and more racial comments that I can't post (positive about Kelly)....

Going down well on Twitter. I always which Kelly spent more time dipping her toes in the R&B/soul waters and less in the Country pond. She excels at it. I'm in the UK so I haven't seen her performances yet, but I look forward to watching them.

As much as I liked seeing WDKY, I wish she'd done a soulful ballad. Maybe Why Don't You Try. Something to show her off even more.

Not saying much yet, but WDKY is up from #154 to #142. Maybe it can break into the top 50? Doubtful, considering the VH1 special probably didn't get too many viewers.

Everything about tonight was spot on. She looked amazing, perhaps with an even greater weight loss (although, it could just be by comparison, since a lot of these, erm, "thick" women make Kelly look tiny), and the two dresses flattered her in ways that we haven't seen since early My December. The third outfit was cute and understandable, since "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)" is a dance song.
As for her voice, also in tip top shape. Her high notes during "Since U Been Gone" dwarfed the performances by MJ and Jennifer, and her riffs during "Chain of Fools" were far more melodically relevant than the mindless shrieking of the woman she was doing the duet with. I don't know her name, and I doubt many people did. It was interesting to me how few of these "divas" I knew... Of course, the biggest names were Kelly, Jennifer, Chaka, MJ, Jessie J and Florence, but other than that I was lost.
And then "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)". It was fantastic. A little bit less exciting than the studio recording, but I'm assuming it's because some of the electronic elements were lost in the translation to live music. Either way, it was still one of the best performances of the night. She was extremely well supported at the event--- she got some of the loudest ovations and a big spotlight was placed on her performance. Doing a ballad like "Why Don't You Try" probably would have fit better with the theme of the show, and I would agree if the song choice had been "Mr. Know It All", but "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)" was a necessary and very exuberant performance of a younger but still soulful song.
I'm glad Kelly made an appearance like this one--- not only did it show off her voice and soul like no other show has, but it also put the necessary spotlight on "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)" as we move into the period where holiday sales spike. This, combined with SNL and hopefully more promotion in early January, should send this song and Kelly to the top, where they belong.

Glad to see everyone enjoyed the performances. All I can say is now I truly appreciate the difference between watching an event on TV and seeing it live. As good as Kelly appeared tonight, she sounded TWICE as good in the venue. You could hear her more clearly and she just shined. She reeeeeaaally held her own on WDKY too. I encourage all the fair weather fans to go see Kelly on tour now. Its her TV performances on steroids.

^^ Oh and the 'Kill' video just passed 2 million views in 6 days ! :)
I'm looking forward to West Coast/Round Two of KC tweets as VH1 Divas will air in the West Coast in just under 10 minutes.

I don't know... maybe it was the general atmosphere of everyone jumping, singing, and dancing together. WDKY is one of my favorite Kelly songs - ever, and I do realize something is missing from the TV performances but the song is definitely incredible live.

She has been taking it down half a step for her live performances of WDKY. That takes out some of the oomph of the song, IMO. However, I completely agree with the decision as it just wasn't translating well in the original key, much too difficult to sing live.

Wow, Kelly looks amazing and she is pretty much singing circles around her duet partners. She really killed it tonight. I'd love her next album to be more R&B tinged (similar to Adele's 21). I think she could really explode with an album like that.
