Thanks for the update. I figured as much. I'm not looking forward to their CDs now as much as I was only a month ago. Fame is fleeting, I guess.

But, I'm hearing Kelly Clarkson's songs constantly on the radio--and this is on a station that plays nothing but listener requests. "Since U Been Gone" and "Behind These Hazel Eyes" are played at least once every two hours.

I'm still in how they do, if only because I'm an AI fan. But I really do like Bo and hope he can make a breakthrough.

Kelly's album, Breakaway, has been certified triple platinum here in the U.S. beating estimates for reaching that milestone by more than six weeks. It's also back in the Billboard top 10. It's gone platinum in Australia and New Zealand, is in the top 10 in Canada, and debuted this week at #10 on the UK charts. She's been nominated for a couple of MTV Video Music Awards, and while I don't expect her to win, she'll be one of the headliners performing at the awards ceremony.

MIAMI (Reuters) - U.S. punk-pop band Green Day captured eight nominations for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and "American Idiot" on Monday to lead nominees for the MTV Video Music Awards.
Rocker Gwen Stefani and rap artist Missy Elliott each won six nominations and the Irish band U2 had five.
The 22nd annual MTV awards will be broadcast from Miami on Aug. 28. Rapper Kanye West, American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson as well as Green Day are among the scheduled performers, MTV said in a news release.
The Video of the Year nominees are: Coldplay for "Speed of Sound," Kanye West for "Jesus Walks," Green Day for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," Snoop Dogg featuring Pharrell for "Drop It Like It's Hot" and Gwen Stefani for "Hollaback Girl."
Nominated for Best Male Video are 50 Cent for "Candy Shop," Kanye West for "Jesus Walks," Beck for "E-Pro," Usher for "Caught Up," and John Legend for "Ordinary People."
For Best Female Video: Amerie for "1 Thing," Mariah Carey for "We Belong Together," Gwen Stefani for "Hollaback Girl," Shakira for "La Tortura" and Kelly Clarkson for "Since U Been Gone."

Kelly has a real good shot at getting a Grammy nomination or two, although again I wouldn't expect her to win given that Mariah Carey's return album is a smash.

BTW, I think Kelly's next single release from the album is going to be "Because of You." I like that song, but personally love "Addicted." What do you think?
