COMMERCIAL KELLS
Keith,
I have a question concerning Kelly Clarkson. After the recent relative failure of her latest album, "My December," several news Web sites, such as Fox News, say that Kelly Clarkson had reportedly set aside her differences with recording mogul Clive Davis and is currently back in the studio recording a new more "radio-friendly" pop album. I was wondering, is this true? I mean, for me that would be great; I loved "My December," and for one of my favorite artists to release two albums in back-to-back years would be fantastic.
Also, I was wondering what the status of Clarkson's current single "Sober" is, and what, if she is planning one, will be her next single? (My vote is for the song "How I Feel.") Finally, how many copies of "My December" have been sold?
Thanks,
Clare Murphy

Hello Clare,
We reached out to Kelly Clarkson's publicist at RCA and they gave us the scoop. Clarkson is certainly not rushing back into the studio, says her rep, considering that she's about to begin her rescheduled concert tour. The trek begins on Oct. 14 in New York City at the Beacon Theater.
Clarkson recently filmed a video for the song "Don't Waste Your Time," which will be released outside of America. Not a coincidence, since she'll be focusing on promoting the album internationally in the coming months.
There's no word on what the third U.S. radio single will be from "My December." The set's second release, "Sober," stalled at No. 10 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart and No. 93 on the Pop 100.
Clarkson is experiencing more success on country radio these days, as her "Because of You" duet with Reba McEntire hit No. 2 on the Hot Country Songs chart two weeks ago.
So far, Clarkson's "My December" has sold 631,000 in the U.S. according to Nielsen SoundScan.
