Kelly Clarkson: One Million 'Stronger'

Brian Mansfield3:52p.m. EST January 2, 2013


What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and selling a million albums makes you stronger still. Kelly Clarkson passed the million-sales mark for her Stronger album last week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Stronger sold 8,000 copies last week to reach the milestone,

The album, released in October 2011, had been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in September 2012. It's the fourth platinum album of Clarkson's career, with 2004's Breakaway having sold more than 6 million copies.

I have to say, despite me not being crazy about how they handled the album in the end (I think Dark Side was a bad single choice and I think the album had at least 2 or 3 more single worthy songs) I'm so happy with how it has sold.

[mikeyace16]

I like Home more than Stronger too. But I think Home doesn't really have that great a chance at overthrowing Stronger than some may think

I think it will happen. It's less than 500k at this point and its STILL selling ridiculously well. Of course, she may get a boost from the Grammys especially if she wins or performs it. It will be close though.

I love Kelly but I do predict Phillip will pass her. The buying public is just really into that sound if we look at songs from bands like fun., The Lumineers, Mumford & Sons. Take that sound and make it more radio friendly and you have Phillip's Home. Nonetheless, that shouldn't take away from Kelly still selling so many singles 10 years into her career!
