BTW, Billboard's weekly updates are out this morning. Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway" (the album), "Since You Been Gone" (the song), and "Breakaway" (the song) all certified double platinum this week. Kelly's "Breakaway" album went double platinum in just 17 weeks and is still going strong. It's been in the top 10 most of this year, so far, and just had a 38% jump in sales this past week.

She's just starting her first solo tour, and all but two of the 30+ venues have been sold out for weeks. She's also very hot on the radio and has gotten vastly more airplay than any other AI winner or finalist.

Without doing the phony studio-made vocals of most "artists," and without resorting the cheap, tasteless pop-tart image of so many female singers these days, Kelly has become the #1 pop vocalist in the nation.

Thanks Wolfstar. That was interesting information about Kelly.
