How can a song that has peaked at #4 "get robbed" for top ten?

It deserved another week in the top 10 over that crap :P

Biography

Kelly Brianne Blackstock (née Clarkson; born April 24, 1982), is an American singer-songwriter and occasional actress. In 2002, she came to prominence after winning the first season of American Idol, and has since been established as "The Original American Idol". Her debut single, "A Moment Like This", topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and broke the record for the biggest jump to number one in the chart's history; it became the best-selling single of the year in the country.[citation needed] She became the runner-up of World Idol the following year.

 

Clarkson's debut studio album, Thankful (2003), has been certified 2× platinum and sold over 4.5 million copies internationally. Its lead single, "Miss Independent", became an international hit, earning Clarkson her first Grammy nomination. She developed a rock-oriented sound with her second album, Breakaway (2004). It was certified 6× platinum and sold over 15 million copies worldwide, earning Clarkson two Grammy Awards, including one for the hit single "Since U Been Gone". She took full creative direction of her third album, My December (2007). Its lead single, "Never Again", became a top ten hit. Clarkson's fourth album, All I Ever Wanted (2009), became a critical and commercial success. Its worldwide hit single, "My Life Would Suck Without You", surpassed "A Moment Like This" for the biggest leap to number one on a single week in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 Chart from number 97, a record it still holds today. Her fifth album, Stronger (2011), generated international chart-topping singles "Mr. Know It All" and "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)", with the latter being the second-best selling American Idol single to date with over four million downloads in the U.S. The album won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album, making Clarkson the first and only artist to win the award twice. In 2012, Clarkson released Greatest Hits – Chapter One; its lead single, "Catch My Breath", is her twenty-fourth entry on the Hot 100 and her eleventh million-selling single.

 

Clarkson has sold over 20 million albums worldwide. In a career spanning over a decade, Clarkson has accumulated ninety-one number ones on the Billboard charts, and eleven number one singles worldwide. She is known for her vocal versatility and range. Her music has mainly dealt with themes of heartbreak, independence, and self-empowerment for women and young teens. Apart from her work in music, Clarkson has also ventured into television and film. Clarkson's film debut was in the romantic musical From Justin to Kelly (2003) and she also appeared in American Dreams as Brenda Lee, in Reba, on The Voice as a guest advisor, on Duets as a mentor and judge. Clarkson's musical work has also gained her numerous accolades, including three Grammy Awards, three MTV Video Music Awards, twelve Billboard Music Awards, four American Music Awards and a Women's World Award. In 2012, Clarkson was ranked nineteenth on VH1's list of "100 Greatest Women in Music." In 2013, Clarkson was ranked number 105 on Joel Whitburn's "Top 500 Artists Of All Time," and number 75 on Billboard's "Hot 100: Top 100 Artists." Billboard also ranked Clarkson as the 14th-best-selling artist of the 2000s and one of the top 200 album sellers of the Nielsen SoundScan era at number 187. - Wikipedia

Last of the new entries. Heartbeat Song is a bit underwhelming, in my opinion.

"Thank you for playing me" lol because radio 1 are massive Kelly fans :kink:

 

Heard this on Heart the other day and it was actually better than I expected, nowhere near the standard of her older material though.

I'd rather it be higher, but I'm happy that Kelly still has the power to get top 10 :D
Not the strongest Kelly track but great to see her back in the Top 10. Love Kelly. :wub:

First time hearing this, I've not liked many Kelly C songs so I don't expect to like this much either but credit to her for still getting top 10 lead singles after so many years, very impressive longevity for a talent show act (especially a non-British one, do any other foreign talent show contestants even come close to her chart history?)

 

This song has reminded me of the rather great song of the same name by The Futureheads. Not that I expect it'll sound like that :lol:

Kelly Clarkson's continued relevance is quite surprising, I thought she'd be considered a has-been by this stage. Anyway 'Heartbeat Song' isn't very good so I would prefer it to have missed the top 10, oops. Outpeaking What Doesn't Kill You too -_-
Soooo glad Kelly can still manage top 10 singles. Major triumph for her after all this time. The song itself still sounds incredibly basic and I don't think it'll ever grow. But bring on the rest of the era.
"Well I guess it would be terribly awkward if she didn't like your music."

 

Yes it would!

This outpeaking What Doesn't Kill You isn't very fair, to be honest.

Still can't say I am loving 'Heartbeat Song' personally but glad that Kelly is still showing signs of relevance in 2015. She seems like the kind of artist who could lose relevance pretty easily.

I can't think of any foreign talent show singers that have come over here and had much success?

What about Jimmy Eat World - The Middle?
