sigh - Kelly Clarkson has had more #1 hits in the last 10 years than any other current recording TeamPooka Jan 2013 #85
Well, I guess I'm glad you feel so strongly about her. LisaLynne Jan 2013 #86
no, #1 hits = being popular TeamPooka Jan 2013 #93
Where did you get those stats from? She has only had 3 number 1 hits in her entire career Lilyeye Jan 2013 #103
I was incorrect. She has more Top Ten hits than anyone in the klast tyen years not #1's TeamPooka Jan 2013 #117
That's very interesting! obamanut2012 Jan 2013 #127
her crossovers between country to pop are why she has performed so strong. TeamPooka Jan 2013 #138
