Kelly's singles in the U.K..... Happy birthday Kelly Clarkson! Her Official Top 10 revealed23 April 2016 This weekend sees Kelly Clarkson celebrate her 34th birthday. Since winning American Idol back in 2002 when she was a mere 20 years old, Clarko has enjoyed hits all over the world, becoming one of the most successful talent TV stars ever! Since her first UK hit Miss Independent reached Number 6 in 2003, Kelly has scored 16 Top 40s here, including nine Top 10s and, of course, a Number 1 single in the shape of My Life Would Suck Without You. But which one is the biggest of them all? We've crunched the numbers and dived into the archive to count up all the sales and stream and the results are pretty interesting… You might be forgiven for thinking Kelly's sole chart-topper My Life Would Suck Without You would also be her biggest song, but we have to break it to you that the honour goes to another song entirely! Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) may have only peaked at Number 8, but thanks to some pretty consistent downloading, along with a 16-week tenure in the Top 40, it finishes out in front with over 546,000 combined chart sales to its name. Her biggest ballad of them all is tearjerker Because Of You, which didn't even make the Top 5 on release – settling for Number 7 – but has a combined sales and streams tally of over 430,000. My Life Would Suck Without You final,y gets time to shine, in third place, with over 423,000 chart sales under its belt. The track that really made the world sit up and take notice is up in fourth – Kelly's first Top 5 Since U Been Gone has 400,000 chart sales. It may have only come out in 2015, but Heartbeat Song has already muscled its way up-up-up-up to Number 5 on Kelly's all-time chart – 362,000 on the score card for that one. A few classics miss the Top 10, most notably I Do Not Hook Up, which lands at 11, and the 2007 Top 10 hit Never Again (12). Check out the full rundown: SONG PEAK YEAR 1 STRONGER (WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU) 8 2012 2 BECAUSE OF YOU 7 2005 3 MY LIFE WOULD SUCK WITHOUT YOU 1 2009 4 SINCE U BEEN GONE 5 2005 5 HEARTBEAT SONG 7 2015 6 MR KNOW IT ALL 4 2011 7 BEHIND THESE HAZEL EYES 9 2005 8 BREAKAWAY 22 2006 9 SECOND HAND HEART 21 2015 10 MISS INDEPENDENT 6 2003 ©2016 Official Charts Company .

Can't wait to hear it! 3 leaks, one soundtrack. Maybe some more music at the end of this year. As long as I'm a fan (2008) we haven't had ONE year without anything new. That's awesome!
Btw, US single sales of Piece By Piece are at 490k at the moment.

Official counting stopped at like 470 or 480k and someone added weekly sales after that. In other words, it should go gold soon.

A gold top 10 Hot AC/Hot 100 single. Not a bad way to resurrect this era.
Predictions: will we get a new album this fall? Or not? I don't think she'll be ready personally, but I would love it if she was.

Piece By Piece has sold 535k copies so far! It's very enough to be certified as Gold record.
Plus, I guess that GH could have sold 600k copies so far or not. It sells constantly!
Prediction:
- AIEW : 995k~1.005m copies - Stronger : 1.1m~1.15m copies - WIR : 905~920k copies - GH : 580k~610k copies - PxP : 230k~260~ copies

Have we got any information on where she's at with a new contract? I'm much more curious about that than anything else, since I think it will shed a lot of light on the next phase of her career.

Courtesy Bixblitz at the KCE... A little thing about Pink's "Try" and how they had originally intended on getting Kelly to record it. www.songwriteruniverse.com/busbee-songwriter-interview-123.htm BC: You’ve done really well on the pop side. One of your hits was Pink’s “Try.” What’s the story behind that song? busbee: That was entirely unique in that I literally woke up one day with 95% of that chorus in my head. I’m not the kind of writer, for whatever reason, who says I’m about to go to sleep and I can’t sleep because I have all these ideas that I have to get out. That’s not really how I function. I love music! It’s like blood, air, water—it’s part of me. I don’t have a notebook next to my bed or any of that kind of stuff. I don’t really carry a Dictaphone. This idea came into my head. I didn’t know what it was. What is this I’m singing? (laughs) I picked up a phone and literally worked on it for five minutes and finished the chorus. Wow! That’s kind of cool. I like that. Then, I played it for a friend of mine, Ben West. He and I were doing a project for some television placements with a band, GoNorthtoGoSouth. He’s a crazy talented guy who lives in Detroit. He’s a writer, producer and multi-instrumentalist, mixer and engineer. I played it for him. “Do you like this?” He’s like, “I love it!” I said, “Let’s do it!”
I flew to Detroit just to write those four songs, one a day for four days. We were all filming a video for some promo stuff, so I had another friend of mine show up. We planned for him to come the day we wrote “Try” because we had the chorus. Let’s flush out the verses and have him record while we’re doing that, so we can have footage behind the scene. We have all the raw footage of us writing the whole song. It’s really kind of unique. That hardly ever happens. We wrote it, and I turned it into my publishing company. They loved it. Eventually, my manager and one of my publishers at the time pitched it to a friend of ours, Rani Hancock, who was (an A&R exec) at RCA at the time. Originally, we were going to try to get it on Kelly Clarkson. There was talk of Daughtry doing it. I actually recorded it on Adam Lambert, but it just wasn’t the right fit.
Eventually, I had to call Rani and go, “Hey, what are we doing with this song?” She’s like, “Do you mind if I keep it a little bit longer and pitch it to Pink?” Of course; go for it! She played it at a label meeting, and the head of the label heard it and flipped out. I’ve been told he pitched Pink a bunch of ideas for this track that she’s supposed to do with Eminem. He pitched her “Try,” and she took “Try” and she didn’t take any of the other ones. It was one of the first outside songs she had recorded in a long time. She’s an amazing artist, and for her to take an outside song—a lot of people aren’t willing to do that stuff, but she was.

Originally, we were going to try to get it on Kelly Clarkson. I think that Adam Lambert would perform this song perfectly like the P!nk's version. However, P!nk did it so well. Anyway, at the same time, Kelly has another amazing song, "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" instead of it.

Definitely, she's a queen of AC! I guess what singles have ranked on this list. #1 SINGLES ON HOT ADULT CONTEMPORARY, BILLBOARD01. Breakaway #2 02. Since U Been Gone #2 03. Behind These Hazel Eyes #1 04. Because Of You #2 05. Walk Away #3 06. My Life Would Suck Without You #3 07. Already Gone #1 08. Don't You Wanna Stay (with Kelly Clarkson) #9 - Jason Aldean's song 09. Mr. Know It All #1 10. Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) #1 11. Dark Side #7 12. Catch My Breath #4 13. People Like Us #7 14. Heartbeat Song #6 15. Piece By Piece #7 I don't know why "Don't You Wanna Stay" wasn't added on that list. I insist that featured artists be counted as whose song. - A Moment Like This #27 - Miss Independent #14 - The Trouble With Love Is #31 - Never Again #12 - I Do Not Hook Up #12 - All I Ever Wanted #11 - Invincible #11 She would get several singles on top 10 of Hot AC! It's so incredible.

I'm currently in an All I Ever Wanted era Kelly mood. I'm very specific when it comes to her performances and I notice the slightest changes she does at concerts/events and for me THIS is the best performance of That I Would Be Good/Use Somebody ! A must-watch! Full performance, but lower quality here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6Kp1uoA27c

Courtesy of Bixblitz of the KCE: FILMMAKING can be a precarious business — even if you’re Jim Sheridan. He’s one of our most lauded and loved writers and directors, and film lovers the world over are waiting to see his take on Sebastian Barry’s bestseller, The Secret Scripture. Sheridan is also waiting to show it to us. The film’s US distributors encountered financial difficulty, leaving the film, starring Rooney Mara and Jack Reynor, in limbo for much of the past year. “It went into Chapter Eleven which is the equivalent of bankruptcy. It was in there for, like, nine months, and we eventually got it out just last week,” says Sheridan . “It’ll be sold to a new American distribution company in June, hopefully.” www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/artsfilmtv/internet-forcing-filmmakers-like-jim-sheridan-to-adapt-401345.htmlI tried to use the quote thing but it posted funny.

It still feels like a dream when I think back to just a couple of months ago, seeing Piece By Piece (Single) at #1 on iTunes, and then a week later, Piece By Piece (Idol Version), at #1 too.
If ever there was a song that I wanted to become an unexpected hit for her, it was that one.
