After 2 years Breakaway is still doing amazing and this is such a big success for Kelly
she deserves it

CONGRATS!

pink is higher than nelly furtado in WW

Yeah! Kelly!

yeah Pink is really popular outside the US

but kelly is amazing...2 years after it came out and its still selling like crazy
thats amazing and she is truly a superstar and is the best out there right now

yea, how many times has kelly gone platinum?

Go Mary J. Blige?

5x platinum.

Go Madonna!!!!:d :d

Why the hell are people still buying Breakaway? How is anyone not sick of her yet

^ Couldn't agree more.
And how is JAMES BLUNT the highest selling artist so far? I didn't know so many mothers were buying albums out there.

High School Musical? Duh!

I've been thinking that since last year. YAWN!

Go Shakira!

Well remember that she did a tour around Europe this year. And there wasnt any albums that sold amazing so far in this year anyways.

kelly is amazing and this an amazing record and is the best album probly for a long time

her third cd should be amazing...kelly is amazing

I'm a little worried that Kelly's 3rd cd will not sell as well....I just don't know, though I hope she sells like 3 million

^I'm sure her third album will do well. But it has to be a pretty excellent album to be able pass Breakaway's success.

i'm sure her third album will do better than breakaway!

It's incredible that Breakaway has sold 10.6 Million internationally. Unfortunately, I find her to be so God damn annoying now lol.

Kelly is good. But I think that she's really popular. Her songs aren't WHOA. I mean there are some who are better! (Eg. Mariah, Christina). Kelly is doing well because of fans. But she's not the type who'll win numerous grammys'. (:. Believe me, I still love Kelly.

Ps: I KNOW SHE'S WON ONE. KUDOS TO HER FOR THAT!
