Kelly Clarkson Breaks Record To Get To #1!

Women are kicking musical butt this year!

Kelly Clarkson has made history on this week's Billboard Hot 100 with her new single becoming the largest leap to No. 1 in the chart's 50-year history.

The former Idol's My Life Would Suck Without You will go from #97 on the chart to #1 after selling 280,000 digital downloads in its first week of release in the U.S.!

This is the second time Miz Clarkson has set the record for largest jump to No. 1.

In October 2002, her American Idol "victory song," A Moment Like This went from #52 to #1.

Kelly is snatching the "jump to #1" record from its latest holder, Britney Spears.

Last year, BritBrit's Womanizer jumped from #96 to #1.

Congrats, Kelly!

    Re: RedWingsFan – lol!



  42. 42

    I like this song and all, and I love Kelly…but I am one of the few that actually prefer her doing rock, it seems more natural than this manufactured bubble gum stuff….



  43. 43

    She kind of looks trannylicious in that picture. She has a manly brow and chin. Not ugly, but just mannish.



  44. 44

    i don't like it



  45. 45

    Yay! I love kelly! she totally deserves all the success she has gotten since american idol.

    I love Kelly Clarkson but this single sucks……..

    she broke britneys record for biggest jump, big deal….britney went from 96 to 1 while kelly went from 97 to 1…no big difference…if britney was 150 she would of been 1….i hate this single…her previous album had better songs…seriously……..

    plus she didnt break the most important record….selling more copies of the single

    MS. SPEARS SOLD OVER 286,000 IN THE FIRST WEEK!!!!!!!!

    kelly sold 280,000…….

    BRITNEY SPEARS IS MUCH MUCH BETTER THAN KELLY…..



  50. 50

    i love britney and am a HUGE fan but i am happy for kelly too. they both deserve the #1 spot!!



  51. 51

    good for her! I love this song!



  52. 52

    Re: Club80 – I think debuting at number one just means you got there within the first week… but you have to climb your way there….however if you make a jump from a high number all the way to number one…thats obviously better than gradually making it there….you cant just DEBUT at number one that doesn't make any sense

  53. DALE says – reply to this

    It doesn't matter how well the song does on the charts, she won't see a dime, because she has no writing credit therefore no royalties, most of the money goes to lukasz gottwold who wrote/produced the song.



  54. 54

    Can't agree with most of you here. Kelly Clarkson is a run-of-the-mill singer anymore. Bores me to death. And, that fruify outfit she's porked into was a BAD choice. Not her style AT ALL. Why the hell did she allow that??!



  55. 55

    Come on, anybody who is talented musically knows this song is rubbage, bo-ring. And I think Kelly Clarkson is a talented singer. The song is absolutely bo-ring and trite. I'm disappointed. Kelly is more talented vocally than Britney, but this song is not better than Britney's latest. Period.



  56. 56

    Good for you, Kelly!!! :)



  57. 57

    How come you didn't mention BritBrit's jump to #1 when it happened?? WTF?



  58. 58

    Who cares, that dumb bitches music sucks twat and she will bomb again and the country bumpkin, Reba will bail her ass out again! BARF!!!!!!!!



  59. 59

    She is an idol, she is probably used to break records!!!



  60. 60

    Well, now at least the record is back in the hands of someone who can actually sing…so that's good news!!
    Go Kelly!



  61. 61

    Her songs really shit, wtf? it sounds like everything else shes done but worse.
