- Kelly Clarkson, born April 24, 1982
in Texas, will always be remembered as the first
winner of the successful FOX TV show American Idol. While in high school,
Kelly had ambitions to be a marine biologist but
turned to music after being persuaded to use her
singing talents in the school choir and musicals.
After high school, Kelly spent time in California
pursuing an entertainment career and had some
slight success as an extra on Sabrina, The
Teenage Witch and That '70's Show
and in the film Issues 101. Without much
success in California, Kelly returned to Texas
and found herself being persuaded to audition for
American Idol.
- October 1: American
Idol Greatest Moments was released and included
tracks from all Top 10 finalists including 4
tracks by Kelly.
- October 5: Kelly hit the Top 10 with "A Moment Like This."
- October 5: Kelly topped the
Billboard Hot 100 with "A Moment Like This" for 2 weeks and the
Hot 100 Singles Sales chart for 5 weeks and went
into the record books with the biggest jump to #1
in Billboard's history (from # 52). The single
(with the B-side "Before Your Love")
sold over 236,000 copies in its first week of
release.
- April 15: Kelly released her debut
LP Thankful. She said of the LP:
"There's soul. I have some rock on there. I
have some big bluesy numbers and I have 2 ballads
I think, and some faster, hip-hoppy stuff." Entertainment
Weekly said of Kelly's debut LP: "Her
range is awesome. She owns pop, R&B, country
and gospel. America was right to idol-ize
her." The first single, "Miss Independent," was co-written by Christina Aguilera.
- April 26: Kelly hit the ARC Weekly Top 40 with "Miss Independent."
- January: Kelly participated in the
first 'World Idol' competition against 10 other
'Idol' winners from countries around the world
and came in second. The winner of 'World Idol'
was Norway's Kurt Nilsen.
- January 17: Kelly hit the Top 10 with "The Trouble With Love Is."
- November 30: Kelly released her next
LP, Breakaway. Billboard called
the LP a "...rare exhibition of substance
over style. Throughout, Clarkson exhibits the
ability to dominate. Clarkson proves that she's
the real thing, packed with enough potency to
ensure radio that she's here to stay."
- November 27: Kelly hit the ARC Weekly Top 40 with "Since U Been Gone." The song eventually
set a record for the most weeks on the ARC Weekly Top 40 since the
chart was conceived in 1980.

Single and Top Hot Adult Contemporary Track
