Kelly Clarkson’s Sweet Chart Success

As predicted in this space last Friday, Kelly Clarkson’s “My Life Would Suck Without You” is your No. 1 single this week, jumping to the top spot from No. 97. Clarkson’s record-setting leap comes on the heels of the song shifting 280,000 paid downloads and racing up the radio charts last week; “Suck” is the second chart-topping single of her career.

    One fun tidbit mentioned in the Billboard story that I failed to mention in the column last week: Clarkson not only sets the new mark for biggest leap to No. 1, she retakes it. “A Moment Like This” set the modern-day (post-Beatles) record for biggest leap in 2002 when it jumped from No. 52 to the top. She was dethroned in 2007 by Maroon 5, and now (after three more acts reset the record), she gets it back.

    I still say it’s a silly chart feat. I wish somebody would go 100-to-1 and kill the record for all time.

    The only thing I dislike about this is that it validates evil lizard Clive Davis’s opinions.
