It was on Real Radio.



I love Hole! One of my favourites on the album. I think Irvine is a lot more depressing, especially the way she sings it.
I'm liking 'hole' more,the more I listen to it

From Perezhilton.com

'Following the critical and commercial disappointment of her most recent album, My December, and the controversy surrounding it, Kelly Clarkson has agreed to start working on a new album right away, which will be released in 2008.

Clarkson’s last album, Breakaway, sold a whopping six million copies in the U.S. alone. My December is expected to sell only about 850,000.

It seems like Kelly has realized the error of her ways and is taking the appropriate steps to ensure she gets her career back on track.

My December, which was released just weeks ago, was shelved by music mogul Clive Davis for months because he didn’t think the album had any hits.

Clarkson ended up cancelling her poor-selling summer tour and firing her manager, as a result of all the dramz.

Realizing the error of her ways, Kelly took the bold move of apologizing publicly to Clive Davis earlier this week.

The new album that Clarkson is recording will definitely be more radio friendly and promises to have the big pop hits this recent album lacks. Davis is overseeing the new project from its inception.'

Oh Snap! I can't believe it, I guess 'My December' is gonna get **** all single releases, how disappointing, I'm seriously heart broken lol

I really didn't think kelly would give in like this.

Well i assume you must have been blinded by fanatiscim then. I strongly expect the rush release of a new album won't save her popularity - she is wholly clueless + unremarkable imo , not a jot of originality,inspiration or uniqueness which just leaves the songs of which the popular ones success having nothing to do with her input.

I notice all the typical hopelessly deluded KC fanatics that used to frequent this thread have vanished now that their arrogant predictions of KC success with the new album have proven their insanity - no more proclaiming and trumpeting chart postions is there ? I wonder why.... Perhaps a look at a couple "My Floptober's" current chart positions might give a slight hint as to why;


Top75 UK Albums........ TW 41 !!!!! LW 21 WO 5


Top75 USA Albums...... 11 !!!!! CLARKSON*KELLY MY DECEMBER 41746 -29 505172

I think 'My December' is a great album and its good to see Kelly try a new direction in her music. It's just slighty different from her last two albums. But Ive enjoyed it and look forward to her new material.

No - still here actually!!!!

The album debuted number 1 in the world chart!! Seen as that is obviously all that registers with you!!

Erm........as to the 'popular ones having nothing to do with her input' - who do you think wrote Because of you - one of the most successful songs???

It's great to see that you've joined the 'lets all hate pop - and think that will make us appear more intelligent' bandwagon!!!

If you're going to go on like a pompous idiot - at least get your facts straight!!!

I Love the album too for the new style,approach and risk etc she took with "December" and we all knew it wasn't going to come anywhere close in sales to the 11 million plus worldwide sales juggernaut that is the poptastic "Breakaway" since quite a few of the songs are darker on "December".Kelly didn't go the easy route and just simply record "Breakaway Part 2".

Anyway,Kelly seems to have listened to Mr Davis as the very "breakaway" sounding pop friendly song "Don't waste your time" has been confirmed as the second single from album for UK/Ireland.This song is deffo one of the happier and most commercial songs on record so here's to Kelly coming over to promote it soonish.

Kelly's new album is a mega bomb. It sold so well the first week because of the strong fanbase she has, but it had no legs because there were no radio-friendly hits and it wasn't a good album overall. She should just cut her losses, stop releasing singles that will bomb from My December and move on to recording a new album with more radio-friendly pop-rock hits.

I love Kelly to bits and wish things had turned out better regarding the way this album was treated. I think ' Don't waste your time' is a bad choice of single. Something like 'One Minute' would be better. Has everyone seen her cmt crossroads performances wit Reba? Just watching those again, fab! I don't particulary like country music but she can really pull that off!

It's sold over a million copies, that isn't a 'mega bomb' by any means.

I agree about "Don't Waste Your Time", I think it's one of the weakest on the album. "One Minute" or "How I Feel" should have been released.

That post from earlier from Perez was mentioned on PerezHilton the other day, Kelly is going to tour with My December and then think about a new album because she believes in it and wants to sing it to her fans and there are no plans for a new album at all.

Sadly I think thats the wrong decision, her new video is on Perez with the title "I want to Be Evanesence" and judging by the video and Emo songs on the dissappointing My December I think Perez may be right. She has to stop being so dark, it works well if the image fits like MCR but not in Kellys case. More Breakaway next time hopefully, much much less My December

I kinda agree with Eth. Not into this album but there are a lot of artists who would be ecstatic with 1 million sales.

Exactly, Jamelia for one whose "Greatest Hits" has sold under 5,000 copies. Now that's a mega bomb.

I always feel bad for Jamelia

Her songs are quite good sometimes, although I'd never buy them, she seems to work hard and deserve more than 5000 sales for her best songs really.

I don't know why the media had it in for her

They seem to have gone out of their way to bring her down.

To be fair, this album was bound to bomb. It's a good album with many songs on it that could be good singles, but the record label aren't supporting it at all. Her songs aren't getting played on US radio and you need them to be playing your songs to shift more albums.

As for the UK, her songs are never played on the radio [except for SUBG/BOY every now and again] and Kelly hasn't even promoted the record in Europe, even though it was released four months ago. So basically all we get is a video to promote the single.

It's a shame because the album isn't bad, and should be doing a lot better. I'm not that bothered anyway tbh, the only thing that disappoints me is that Kelly hasn't been over to visit. I know the album didn't do well here but she still has fans in the UK.

Please tell me how selling a million copies is a bomb. Some artists albums only sell around 400,000 and they're thrilled with that. A million copies is NOT a bomb, it just hasn't sold as well as Breakaway which Kelly knew all along was going to happen.

The thing is, the huge Kelly fans (and Kelly herself) prefer 'My December' and less mainstream stuff more than 'Breakaway' stuff. So if she goes back to doing the radio-friendly poppy stuff she might get bigger sales thanks to casual fans, but it'll also dissapoint those who like this change of direction. Sticky situation really..

That being said, it is a shame that DWYT will flop in the U.K.

^ That's true. Although i'm sure her hardcore group of fans would stick with her no matter what she did. I prefer My December, I like the more singer songwriter type songs , like Sober, irvine, chivas. But i'd still be happy if she tried something completly different for the next album. I also much prefer it when she doesn't shout in songs. Her voice is so beautiful when she sings calmly.

You answered you're question yourself

It hasn't done as well as its predeccessor, its a bit of a bomb really.

Sales for Madonna that could be a massive flop would be career Highs for others

Its all relative, Kelly comes from a first album, to an increase in sales for a second album then sales drop, dramatically for the 3rd album. Numbers aren't important, its not done nearly aswell, and unless there is a sudden change, its not going to do as well and so its failed basically

Since when was not doing as well as its predeccessor considered a bomb? I'm seriously confused here. Not every album is gonna do better than the last from any artist. Kelly said in numerous interviews she KNEW that My December wouldn't sell as many as Breakaway because it's isn't as commercial.

Sorry but nobody can convince me otherwise that selling a million copies is any kind of flop or bomb.

KELLY IS BACK!!

New single "My Life Would Suck Without You" written by commercial kings Max Martin & Dr Luke is hitting US radio on January 19th with her fourth album set to be released on March 17th.

I am so excited for this! Disappointed she has lost creative control to an extent and will have to sing what songs she gets but it is Kelly and it will be amazing. 2009 should be the year she explodes again.

Has the track leaked at all?

I can't wait to hear it.

I think its for the best that she's not in too much control, My December was a mess, I LOVE Don't Waste Your Time, It sounds like it would easily slot onto Breakaway, the others were just a bit wtf.

Hopefully this new album is closer to Breakaway since that is one of the most perfect pop albums ever created.
