The Kelly Clarkson Appreciation Thread!
I was wondering why there was never one set up for this talented woman. She is amazing! I know it's slightly late seeing that her last album All I Ever Wanted was released 12 months ago but see it as an Anniversary present
![]() Anyway, i hope there are fans here on the forum. She is one of my favourite artists along with Leona Lewis, Beyonce, Alexandra Burke and Christina Aguilera. Rihanna is also somewhere in there too - but to a lesser extent ![]() Apparently, All I Ever Wanted (the song) is the album's 4th single. It hasn't impacted the Billboard Hot 100 yet but with it being Kelly's favourite song on the album (i think) and American Idol currently airing, it could smash soon. ![]() Btw, i'll post some sales statistics soon to celebrate Kelly's success so far.

Good idea, I like her music. My faves are MLWSWY and AG. Danniella Westbrook skated to one of her songs too.

Thanks for this! Didn't know Breakaway sold that much!
![]() I'm glad at least someone found it helpful Breakaway's sales are overwhelming - especially since there wasn't one single top 3 hit from the album I'm personally surprised at BOY's and SUBG's sales. Silver certifications and didn't even go top 3 in 2005 - the year sales were incredibly low. |

Breakaway sold more than Walk Away but Walk Away charted higher! |

I would have thought 'All I Ever Wanted' would have shifted more copies.

I think many are unaware of the fact that album sales have declined since 2005/2006. All I Ever Wanted sold okay for an album in 2009 but could have been far better. I guess on of the disadvantages was that AIEW was released in the quiet part of the year. Albums normally sell like crazy in fall.

I'm still puzzled as to why My December is her lowest selling album when it's her best, imo. The whole album is just incredible.
My favourite Kelly songs are: Addicted, Maybe, How I Feel, Irvine and Don't Let Me Stop You. I do have to say though, I wish Katy Perry had kept Long Shot for her album. |

I wonder why album sales have declined. When was Breakaway released?
Breakaway was released in 2005 in the UK - when album sales were high and single sales were probably at their lowest for decades. Put it this way - Orson's No Tomorrow (released July 2006) reached #1 on sales of 17,000. Now you have to sell 60,000 copies to be in with a shot of #1. In the 90s and before that, singles would have to sell over 100,000 copies to get to #1 normally. Quote:

Katy Perry sang Long Shot terribly. It was barely singing. It sounded like she took drugs and couldn't stop giggling throughout - and i love Katy!

Haha I loved it though, it sounded a lot more fun with Katy singing it. Plus it was only a demo version, I'm sure if it was gonna go on an album, she's have re-recorded it

The label didn't like it, so the label didn't promote it. It's sad really, as like you say, it's a great album. Very personal, which I love. Sober is just amazing. There were many great options for singles on there too, so if the label really wanted to, they could have made it a success.

Yeah, I guess that does have a lot to do with it. The fact that it's so personal is probably the reason I think it's her best. Sober is a favourite for so many people and when she does it on tour..absolutely amazing.

Since U Been Gone - Brilliant. - 9/10
Because Of You - Gorgeous yet heartbreaking song, one many can relate to - 9/10 Already Gone - Amazing song, shame it didn't do better 8/10 Never Again - Love the attitude and the lyrics - 8/10 Behind These Hazel Eyes - A song I'd love as an album track but I didn't dig as a single - 7/10 Walk Away - Fun, catchy, love it - 7/10 Breakaway - As said, it's a bit boring but I still like it. Reminds me of good memories of the tour - 7/10 My Life Would Suck Without You - Perfect song to come back with 7/10 I Do Not Hook Up - Again I'd love it as album track, got bored of it when it was released - 6/10 Low/The Trouble With Love Is - This might be weird but I adore Low, not fussed on TRWLI though - 5/10 Miss Independent - I loved it at the time but it's a bit boring looking back on it - 4/10 |
