She so deserves the success, it's an awesome song.
I'm hoping for Alone, Darkside or Breaking Your Own Heart will be next.

i am glad the song as done well, its a great pop song and it should help to further boost her album.
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!

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.
She so deserves it. She's stayed true to herself through it all and I love Stronger, it's a brilliant song. Well done Kelly
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.
