Kelly Beats Carrie
Ever since Carrie Underwood won season 4 of American Idol, there was no question that she could very well rival the biggest Idol star at the time, Kelly Clarkson. Since then, both have soared to the top and stayed there, with Underwood overtaking Clarkson in total album sales (13,205,000 and 11,664,000 copies sold, respectively). But now the original Idol can claim the top spot in a different area.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kelly Clarkson's single "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" is now the best selling American Idol single of all time, having now sold 3,510,000 copies, overtaking Carrie Underwood's massive hit "Before He Cheats" (at 3,509,000 sold). (The previous runner-up was Jordin Sparks' "No Air.")
This is especially impressive, considering "Stronger" has only been available for less than a year, while "Before He Cheats" was first released five years ago.
