She so deserves the success, it's an awesome song.

I'm hoping for Alone, Darkside or Breaking Your Own Heart will be next.

Although the likes of Breakaway and Behind These Hazel Eyes were better songs and should've been no. 1 when they were released, I'm thrilled for Kelly as her latest album is fantastic.

I do think Kelly is overshadowed by other singers (Lady GaGa, Beyonce, Katy Perry etc) but I've always been a fan and I hope she continues to produce more music for years to come. You go girl!

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%).
This is going back a bit, but no, Adele got more airplay than Kelly Clarkson actually. Set Fire to the Rain is actually the most played song on US radio, and has been for a long time now:

1. ADELE - Set Fire To The Rain: 151.049 (+ 1.090)
2. RIHANNA - We Found Love f/Calvin Harris: 127.940 (- 0.412)
3. FLO RIDA - Good Feeling: 110.944 (- 1.198)
4. BRUNO MARS - It Will Rain: 97.836 (- 1.510)
5. KELLY CLARKSON - Stronger (What Doesn't Kill ...: 92.971 (+ 2.894)

Kelly has returned today to the top of the Billboard charts after falling to number 4 last week. This marks the third, non-consecutive week at number one for 'Stronger' and I think it's the first number 1 single of Kelly's that's had three weeks at the top spot.

The album's dropped a bit in the States, but is currently at 15. I think it went up to 12 a couple of weeks ago.
