the company that puts out all the NOW albums that are various artist and hits at the time has a posting on their site right now that reads:
KELLY CLARKSON #1 on #2:
Her fourth release is out and she is climbing to the top once again. Kelly is set to perform on Saturday Night Live this week. So for her sales on her first four singles "All I Ever Wanted", "My Life Would Suck Without You", "My December" and "Thankful" have all surpassed expectations. Nielson Soundscan is predicting that her live tv show perfomances will boost sales even further. This is another impressive run coming from an american idol winner. She has definitely taking on a shine of her own. America Idol was the catalyst for her true talent to grow."
http://nowthatsmusic.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=banner&utm_content=music&utm_campaign=guptamediais the link but I think the stories change frequently, it wouldnt make sense if this still shows in a week saying "she performs on snl this week" much longer.
also make note I decided to keep it a quote and the posting says america idol it is NOT a typo by me.
