About Kelly Clarkson

  • Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter and television personality.
  • She rose to fame in 2002, after winning the first season of American Idol, which earned her a record deal with RCA Records.
  • Clarkson's debut single, "A Moment Like This", topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and became the country's best-selling single of 2002.
  • It was followed by the release of her debut album, Thankful (2003), which debuted atop the US Billboard 200.
  • Trying to reinvent her image, Clarkson parted ways with Idol management and shifted to pop rock music for her second album, Breakaway (2004).
  • After numerous top 40 radio number-one singles, such as "Since U Been Gone" and "Because of You", the album sold over 12 million copies worldwide and earned Clarkson two Grammy Awards. She took further creative control for her third album, My December (2007), by becoming the executive producer and co-writing the entire album.
  • However, her label was dissatisfied with her darker rock music and promoted the album reluctantly.
  • Clarkson returned to the top of the charts with her more mainstream-oriented fourth album, All I Ever Wanted (2009).
  • Its lead single, "My Life Would Suck Without You", holds the record for the biggest jump to number one on the Hot 100 chart.
