Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" has sold 3,865,000 copies, more than any other song by an Idol alum. The feisty song, which spent three weeks at # in February and March, is built around philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's famous quotation, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
Pop titans Dr. Luke (Lukasz Gottwald) and Max Martin co-wrote two of Clarkson's 2 million sellers, the fizzy 2009 hit "My Life Would Suck Without You" (2,668,000) and the turbo-charged 2005 smash "Since U Been Gone (2,518,000). "Suck" shot from #97 to #1 in February 2009, which set a new record for the biggest leap to #1 in chart history. It stayed on top for two weeks. One Direction performed the song when they were competing on the U.K. version of The X Factor. "Since U Been Gone," which brought Clarkson a Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, peaked at #2 in April 2005.
Clarkson's fourth 2 million-seller is "Don't You Want To Stay," her 2011 collabo with Jason Aldean (2,188,000). The song, which reached #31 in April 2011 (and logged three weeks at #1 on Hot Country Songs) brought Clarkson and Aldean a CMA Award for Musical Event of the Year. It also received a Grammy nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. The song is Aldean's second best-seller (following "Dirt Road Anthem"); Clarkson's fourth best-seller.
All four of Clarkson's 2 million-sellers are from different albums.

It's a solid debut, especially the fact it sold 88,000 and 0 airplay. Imagine if it had had more airplay, it probably would've debuted even higher.

It pains me that SUBG wasn't released in the digital era. I think it would have been well over 5m downloads

Let's not get fussed over the debut. The other gorls all had radio deals to help aid them in their sales and airplay to achieve their higher Hot 100 positions.

I think he's hot still so... Him and Kelly would have been so perfect together!
So funny how he's been working with DH though. I wonder if they've ever talked about Kelly 
Oh well. Brandon is a cutie though.

Well... she kinda, sorta did with David. It was for that "Princess Dairies" thing at Disney. He was with her, but they weren't posing like a couple or anything; he was just in the background. She did thank her "boo" which was Graham at the 2005 VMAs.
But I do want to see some cuteness between KC & BB

Graham is hot, but he's such a hipster now. KC needs herself a manly man.
