Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American pop rock singer, songwriter, and occasional actress. She rose to fame as the winner of the first season of American Idol in 2002, and was the runner-up of World Idol the following year. Clarkson has since become an international platinum recording artist with over 25 million album sales and 36 million singles worldwide,[3] according to Billboard[4] and Nielsen SoundScan.[5][6][7] In a career spanning over a decade, Clarkson has accumulated eighty number ones on the Billboard charts,[8] and eleven number one singles worldwide.[9]
Clarkson signed onto RCA Records by talent manager Simon Fuller and music executive Clive Davis after Idol, and released a double A-side single "Before Your Love"/"A Moment Like This". The single topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart, breaking the record for the biggest jump to #1 in the chart's history and became the best-selling single of the year in the United States. Released in 2003, Clarkson's debut album Thankful went on to be certified 2x platinum and sold over 4.5 million copies worldwide. Its lead single, "Miss Independent" became an international hit, earning Clarkson her first Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Clarkson developed a rock-oriented sound with the release of her second album,Breakaway, in 2004 under the management of Jeff Kwatinetz. The album was certified 6x platinum and sold over 14 million copies worldwide, earning Clarkson two Grammy Awards for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for the hit single "Since U Been Gone". Clarkson took full creative direction with the release of her third album My December in 2007. Despite the lack of mainstream promotion by the label, My December debuted at number two on the U.S. Billboard 200, and was voted the fifth best album by the readers of Billboard. Its lead single, "Never Again" became a top ten hit and has since sold over one million digital downloads. In 2009, Clarkson released her fourth studio album, All I Ever Wanted, which became a critical and commercial success. Its worldwide hit single, "My Life Would Suck Without You", surpassed "Before Your Love"/"A Moment Like This" for the biggest leap to number one on a single week in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 Chart from number 97, a record it still holds today.
