Happy Breakaway Anniversary
OK, so the 1-year anniversary of Kelly Clarkson’s album “Breakaway” was November 30th. (I could roll back the date on this post and pretend I posted it on time but that seems like it might take effort on my part.)
Anywho, here are some random tidbits: The album just went quadruple platinum (sweet). Kelly’s got the current #1 video, “Because of You,” on VH1 and MTV. It was also the #1 song on the American Top 40 last week. The album was the #5 album for the entire year (it consistently sold 50k copies a week all year long, but holiday shopping kicked it up to 95k last week). “Since U Been Gone” was the Best “Girl Power” video and #3 video overall on VH1. BOY was #26 for the year. She spent more time at #1 on TRL than anyone else this year, and any female ever. And she’s on the cover of Seventeen magazine this month.
As far as awards go, she won 2 out of 3 at the AMA’s and she’s up for awards on VH1’s Big in ‘05 on Sunday, and the Billboard Music Awards on Tuesday.
BTW, check out the excellent making of the BOY video at Amazon and donate to Kelly’s selected charity.
Also on TV this morning is “Your Total Health,” which will apparently have a blurb from Kelly about exercising, and later this week there’s an E! True Hollywood Story about the girls of AI.
