Kelly Clarkson has entertained fans around the world for almost an entire decade. She spent the summer of 2002 performing on the first ever season of American Idol. After Kelly’s September 4, 2002 win, her single “A Moment Like This” went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In 2003, Kelly released her debut album, Thankful, which immediately hit the U.S. Billboard 200 charts at number one. By December 2003, the album had been certified double platinum. In 2004, Kelly released her sophomore album, Breakaway. The CD was so successful that it was eventually certified 6x Platinum. Kelly received two Grammy Awards for the album including “Best Pop Vocal Album” and “Best Female Pop Vocal Performance” for the single “Since U Been Gone.” In 2007, Kelly released her third studio album, My December, which went platinum in the U.S. Earlier this year Kelly released her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted. Not one to waste anytime, Kelly is currently writing songs for her fifth album, which she hopes to release at the end of 2010.
