Well done to Kelly, who has surpassed Adele and taken the number 1 spot on the Billboard chart with Stronger - her 3rd US number one, following 'A Moment Like This' and 'My Life Would Suck Without You'.

I'm so pleased for her that she's till achieving success ten years after her win on American Idol

It's a real feat outselling Adele in any chart these days so congrats to Ms Clarkson. She seems like a really nice person from interviews I've seen as well.

Awesome news. She deserves it. Must have sold a lot to knock Adele off the top?

not in terms of singles. Adele's singles weekly sales for SFTTR are average in terms of the USA. Airplay is a massive factor, kelly has had massive airplay and got more radio airplay faster than adele did.

from Billboard:
Stronger" soars to the Hot 100's top spot with top Airplay Gainer honors, charging 33-15 on the Radio Songs chart (58 million audience impressions, up 49%, according to Nielsen BDS).

On the Digital Songs survey, "Stronger" spends a second week at No. 1. The song sold 237,000 downloads (up 6%) in the list's tracking week, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

As Clarkson motors to the Hot 100's top spot, Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain" descends to No. 2 after two weeks at No. 1. The song pushes 4-2 on Radio Songs (127 million, up 8%) and holds at No. 2 on Digital Songs (after leading the tally three weeks ago) with 165,000 downloads sold (down 1%).

That's fantastic! Stronger is a great song and should have been at least top 5 in the UK in my opinion. Kelly and the song are worthy of that number one.

I've not listened to anything by Kelly since that Disney-esque disaster that was All I Ever Wanted. I don't do teen pop.

I gotta say Stronger is growing on me though. I'm still gonna give the album a miss though as it sounds rather shite.

I think it peaked way too early due to big airplay (I think) or the album release. I think it was the latter. All of a sudden people were buying it. Same for Domino.

As much as I love Kelly Clarkson and think this album is her best yet, I don't like the single Stronger very much at all and I don't understand why it's so successful

I think Dark Side is so much better, and would like to see her release Hello too.

^I think it makes a great single. There are other songs on the album that I prefer (such as The War Is Over and The Sun Will Rise) but I do love Stronger as well, and think it appeals to the wider audience, as opposed to just Kelly fans, hence why it's doing so well.

I think it's an ok song but it's a shame it has done better than Mr Know It All which for me is a hundred times better.

It's interesting you say that because I think it was only the first two singles that were 'un-Kelly' if you get what I mean, I think the rest of the album is amazing and more suited to her vocals - it's not better than My December though which in my opinion is her best album to date

I just couldn't get into it, as much as I tried there's not a single song on AIEW that appeals or stands out to me. Stronger is still growing on me, and i'm playing the album more but apart from Stronger and Dark Side everything seems very... plain. My December is such a good album, I could listen to songs like Irvine and Maybe forever.

And you say this as her album has climbed up to number 12 this week, and her single is number one?! And just after she sang the national anthem at the Superbowl? Yes, clearly she's flopping.
