Why are we making fun of Kelly Clarkson, again? |

And the first week sales of the Kelly albums were 163k, 75k, and 71k.

Their excuses go as follow...
Q1 release!!1! Yet there have been plenty of albums opening big this year so far.
No promo!!1! Yet she has done Fallon, GMA, SM & SNO and albums with less promo have done better.
Not to mention she's coming from a "massive hit" according to her stans and she's one of the biggest names to come in the last 15 years, also according to her stans. It doesn't make any sense.
 at Britney stans jumping in to shade X. Can you all get any more obsessed and pathetic?
You're so transparent. Bionic did 110K with the entire media and GP against her.
How is 110K worse than 75-80K? And please save the "market decline" excuse cause there have been plenty of albums opening way bigger than 110K just this year.
And  at KC being an icon...

I would've used Glitter but Bionic translates better to the girls of ATRL since most of them think 2001 was a million years ago. 75k-80k on your 7th (6th) studio album is better than 110k on your 6th (4th) studio album, especially when that album was so heavily promoted.
I buy both girls' music and posts receipts for each and every stanwar I comment on so I don't see why using actual receipts is "pressed" in your book.
I don't get how "Heartbeat Song" is a massive hit and I'm not quite sure who told you that it was but it's not even top 20 yet 
How is Kelly Clarkson not an icon? She launched singing reality TV shows (something both of our faves owe her for), she's sold some 25M albums WW, well over 40M singles globally, launched Dr. Luke's career, etc. What is she missing?

Kelly, ha Lotus. She'll have longevity though with future SMASH Invincible.

She'll still hit 1 million in the long run instead of up front. It's not a front loaded album.

Ok, this is me acknowledging that she has a newborn baby to take care of, but...
This era has been so lazy. "Heartbeat Song" sounds lazy. The music video was lazy. Her lack of caring about her public image is lazy. And don't even get me started on the album cover.
Kelly Clarkson can do better.

Why are the Xtina stans coming for another artist on their sales?
This is all a result of Kelly not promoting in the US. Once her promo schedule gets in gear, she's going to be selling more, and once she drops Invincible as a single. This album will go Platinum. Bookmark me.

But if Wiki is correct, My December, All I Ever Wanted, and Wrapped in Red aren't at 1 million US yet.

Two of those albums (My December and Wrapped In Red) went Platinum. And All I Ever Wanted is about 50,000 shy of a 1 million. Also, My December was a one of the most controversial albums by any start I can think of recently and her label practically marketed it to flop. And Wrapped In Red is a Christmas album that sold over 800,000 in three months. Kelly will be fine.

But having a 50% rate makes me highly doubt this album will hit a million, which was my point.

Why not use Mariah's Elusive or Nelly's SI if you wanted a recent example? Oh, right. Because the point was just to jump in to shade X. LMAO, you're always twisting it your way. Let's see, Bionic was released 11 years into X's career, while it's been 13 years since Kelly's career started. See? I can also twist it my way. And when did I call you "pressed"?
I was clearly talking about Stronger which in words of her stans is one of the biggest singles ever released.
Those things equal to an icon? Let me guess, you're from the US, right? MESS.
P.S. Nice to see you appreciate talent. "Talent >>>>>" Kii.

And why the **** NOT? That argument is as valid/logical as us saying: Why are KC stans coming for Xtina's sales/success when she has outsold your fave's entire career sales with just CA + Stripped?
See now how stupid that little argument of yours is?

Kind of tragic sales when compared to Stronger. 
The album doesn't really deserve great sales imo, and part of the reason why its sales are low is because there was no real song that screams "SMASH" on the album. So they needed to go with Heartbeat Song as the lead. It also seems like she doesn't give a damn and is just trying to get out of her recording contract. Also, it was released in February. So a lot of things went into these average first-week sales.

Why on earth is there such a huge fight going on between Christina and Kelly fans??? This makes absolutely no sense, at all, whatsoever.

Oh, it's you. Kelly's biggest stalker.
Okay, the reason for that is because you all dragging Kelly for her sales is kind of unproductive when Christina's sales as of late pale in comparison to Kelly's it's that simple, really. And it's great that Christina did well in the beginning, it really is. Kelly did too. But, as of late, Kelly has been flooring Christina in terms of sales, so no I don't understand why certain Christina fans (but not all) like yourself are laughing at a low first week number when Kelly has been performing much better than Christina as of late. Christina's last two studio efforts selling less than Kelly's Greatest Hits combined is enough evidence of that, don't bother putting those two albums next to Wrapped In Red.
You can hold onto the receipts of CA and Stipped as much as you want, but they're irrelevant to the discussion of recent success.
Please don't respond. I have no patience for your trolling.

That poor, pressed X-Tina stan still clinging to sales of CA and Stripped. The desperation is severely real. Even KC stans haven't mentioned Breakaway. Let's stay current. Your fave has not been a relevant solo artist since those albums you're clinging to. Goodbye.
