Radio has missed Kelly!!
The release date is one week closer..awesome!

^thanks for posting these interviews neally! The express is kind of hard to keep up with these days.. (not complaining though.. its a good thing! haha)

[metsfan]

Her interviews are so great to hear -- you'd never know she's one of the bigger pop stars out there, she just sounds like the average girl.

[QAF]

Kelly is just Kelly. She's so freaking down to earth it's absolutely incredible. Definitely one of the things that draws me to her.

That and her freakishly amazing talent. Do I sound like a fan?

I love the girl...in a straight female to straight female sort of way. ;)

[tsharky]

Is it true that Kelly is performing at Clive's PreGrammy party? I heard a rumor about that. Great way to introduce the Suck song. lol

Miami, FL (CNS) - Lady Gaga spends yet another week in the #1 spot of the Billboard Hot 100. "Just Dance," featuring R&B singer Colby O'Donis, tops the chart for a third consecutive week. She has sold nearly 2.5 million digital singles of the song to date and is currently #1 at pop radio.

But Gaga, who is starting her U.S. "The Fame Ball" tour in March, might see herself unseated by Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You" next week.

^I knew it!

For my hypothesis, the pop bar is a HALF-WEEK roll.
theres no reason to indicate it as 2 days, 3 days, 4 days or 5 days.

consider this:

after 1 day, Kelly's bar is almost equal to Gaga's.
after 2 days, Kelly's bar is around 2x to Gaga's.
after 3 days, Kelly's bar is around 3x to Gaga's.
after 4 days, Kelly's bar stays at 3x to Gaga's or decline a bit.
after 5 days, Kelly's bar will decline less than 3x to Gaga's ?

its not obviously one day roll bcos it would mean that on the 2nd and 3rd day Kell's sales double and triple the 1st day sales, respectively.
its probability to be 2day roll is also very little bcos it would mean that on the 3rd day, Kel's sales boot up more than double of the 1st day, which is unusual.

so it should be at least 3 day rolling chart. And i think Kel's pop bar 's gonna stay (or decline a bit) @ 3x of Gaga's bar in the following 4th or 5th day and sharply fall to around 2x or less on the 6th and 7th day.

let's see if it is at least 3 day rolling chart. (u shud know this FACT: the more numbers of day rolling, the more high sales for Kell)
For 3days of Kell's been released, its @ 3x of Gaga's 3days.
i predict gaga's sales this week will decline a lot to around 120k-150k (or even less) provided that many new songs are being promoted. So 3 days, Mon-Wed, sales for Gaga would be around 45k-60k (low bcos it's weekday sales). That means Kel's already sold around 130k-160k in 3days. But thats the first 3days of its release. The latter 4 days left may be even less. (but remember that they are the weekend days also.) If the sale fall gradually (to more than 50%) in day2 3 or 4 and increase on Fri-Sat-Sun, i predict Kelly will sell around 240k-280k.

to sum up: half-week rolling chart and MLWSWY's sale is at least 240k


if u understand this, u know that the probability is more than 50% true.
and my exact numbers for the sales NOW are as following:

Gaga's total 135k : Mon-Sun = 15+15+15+20+25+25+20 (it may be too low, but if it's higher ---> Kel's numbers will go higher too :))
Kelly's total 260k : Mon-Sun = 80+65+25+20+25+25+20

the numbers can be changed a bit after more information arrives in the following days. :>

PS. I hope this would be right.

Another fun interview (Sadly, Kelly confirms that 'Close Your Eyes' will NOT be on this record and she will NOT be at the Grammys :'( but will be performing at Clive's Pre-Grammy party !!! :) )

[David]

Gosh, I am dying to hear a studio version of "Close Your Eyes".

[K.]

^Me too. I didn't know there was a studio version?

I'm also dying to hear her version of Hook Up. I'm in love with that song already, and I'm sure Kelly will perform it equally well if not better.

"Suck" Blows (Up): Clarkson's Comeback Could Make It To The Top Of The Pops

The most interesting news on Billboard's Hot 100 isn't at the summit, where the entire Top Five has been static for the last couple of weeks. It's in the basement, where a flotilla of new songs-many by established acts-debuts.

We could talk about the return of Eminem to the Hot 100, for the first time in nearly three years, with his 50 and Dre-supported "Crack the Bottle," at No. 76. Or the third single and first ballad from the omnipresent Katy Perry, one notch below. (More on her in a minute.) Or a couple of all-star duets-mellow twosome Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat ("Lucky," No. 84) or smoove pair Jamie Foxx and T-Pain ("Blame It," No. 98). But all of these budding hits are overshadowed by the single that debuts quietly at No. 97-a song that could well be the chart's next No. 1 and finally put some distance between Kelly Clarkson and the other American Idol finalists who've been chipping away at her crown all these years.

Winter is not normally the time when major labels launch new material from high-priority acts. We're now deep into the sleepy season on the Billboard charts, as sales of both albums and singles are down across the board, and radio is still playing the piles of hit singles that launched last fall. (Or last spring, in the case of our current No. 1 song, Lady GaGa's slow-building "Just Dance.")

But Sony BMG seems to have landed on a hit-'em-while-they're-napping strategy for launching Clarkson's fourth album and its post-Clive-feud single, "My Life Would Suck Without You." Just one week after it was serviced to Top 40 stations, "Suck" is already a burnout hit, garnering some 2,000 spins out of the box and already ranking 58th on the Hot 100 Airplay list. Its low debut on this week's Hot 100, three notches from the bottom, is the result of a lack of sales data-during the tracking week for this week's charts, the song hadn't yet been released to iTunes and the other digital-song services.

But that changed last weekend, and at this writing, "Suck" is already iTunes' No. 1 seller. We have no idea specifically how well it's selling, but on next week's chart, Clarkson will inevitably make a huge leap into the Top 10. The only question is whether she'll rack up enough sales (plus continued airplay gains) to overtake Lady GaGa atop the chart.

If "Suck" manages to reach the top next week, it will accomplish a few things:

• A new record for biggest leap to No. 1: This record was broken three times last fall, twice by T.I. and once by Britney Spears, whose "Womanizer" shot all the way from No. 96 to the penthouse in October. So a 97-to-1 jump by Clarkson's "Suck" would reset the mark yet again. It's not out of the realm of possibility-while digital sales are softer now than they were last fall, when T.I. and Britney were racking up first-week sales of around 300,000 downloads, Clarkson's airplay is already so strong that a starter total in the mid-200s would probably do the trick. Let's all root for this-as I pointed out last fall, we're quickly running out of Hot 100 positions from which songs can leap to No. 1, and whoever someday manages to do it from a low enough position will own the record and shut down this silly competition for all time. (I guess a 100-to-1 leap is still always possible.)
• Clarkson's first non-Idol-related No. 1: Despite recording some of the biggest Top 40 hits of this decade, Clarkson hasn't topped the Hot 100 since her first single, "A Moment Like This," did the trick in 2002. (That's right, fellow fans of "Since U Been Gone": that immortal track peaked at No. 2. You have one Curtis Jackson to thank for that.) "Moment" was Clarkson's finale song in that first season of American Idol-so she's arguably never topped the big chart without a direct promotional connection to the TV franchise. Speaking of which…
• The first Hot 100 No. 1 by an Idol finalist NOT related to Idol: The show's first five seasons all produced a No. 1 single by the winner (or, in the case of 2003's Clay Aiken, the first runner-up). Clarkson's "Moment" topped the Hot 100 the same way, say, Carrie Underwood's "Inside Your Heaven" or Taylor Hicks's "Do I Make You Proud" did-a quick burst of sales. Thousands of hardcore Idol fans bought the CD-singles in their first week of release, propelling these radio-ignored songs to the top. Amazingly, for all the chart success Clarkson, Underwood, Chris Daughtry and others have had in the years since they left the show, no Idol finalist has ever managed to top the Hot 100 with a song not performed on the show's finale. (This only applies to the Hot 100: on the R&B/Hip-Hop list, Fantasia and Jennifer Hudson have gone to No. 1 with Idol-unaffiliated songs, and Underwood has topped the Country chart numerous times.) A No. 1 ranking for "Suck" would change that.

Regardless of what the song does on the charts next week, it is already reestablishing Clarkson's rep as the all-time sales leader among Idol finalists. Since Carrie Underwood burst onto the charts in 2005, she has achieved, with two albums and about a dozen singles, sales nearly equal to Clarkson's three albums and 16 singles. Of course, Underwood has the advantage of two major radio formats, country and pop radio, promoting her wares, while Clarkson relies almost entirely on straight-up Top 40 play (they each get a roughly equivalent boost from adult-contemporary radio).

As the promotional cycle for Underwood's 2007 album Carnival Ride winds down and Clarkson's All I Ever Wanted gears up for a March drop date, 2009 should be a good year for Kelly to put some distance between herself and her own Eve Harrington.

That was kinda awkward when that fan mentioned Close Your Eyes. Kelly seemed to have no idea it leaked.

That news deserves a over here, too.

I agree! I don't think it's right either. It's typical Dr. Luke production.

[David]

I thought there were some quotes from Kelly saying that she hated that the music leaked unfinished but that she hoped everyone liked it? I remember reading that, but maybe that was her publicist or something.

Guys, I really think there is a strong chance of Kelly getting her second #1 on the Hot 100. "Just Dance" seems to be selling less and less on iTunes. When the digital downloads come out, if Kelly can outsell her by about 75,000 then she will have another #1!

[pyrates]

It looks like there'll be a deluxe edition (Cd/DVD). Yay!

Thanks to the KCE:

[sunpeach]

GAWD- The pressure! It's killing me!

[blurple]

OMG a Hot 100 #1 would be super awesome! Please let it happen!

[orchbellzbab]

i would love her to take back her record she had for biggest leap to no. 1

I feel that way, too. In a way, I wish the possibility wasn't dangled in front of us, because now I will be crushed if it doesn't happen. Which is silly, of course, considering "Breakaway" never had a #1 and I would take the 6 million sales over a #1 any day of the week (Unless of course the single sold 6 million. LOL)
