Her first album, Thankful included the top ten single âMiss Independentâ, which earned her first Grammy nomination. Her second album Breakaway produced the hit single âSince U Been Goneâ which reached number two on the Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the RIAA.
Clarkson went in a different direction with her self-creatively-controlled third album, My December. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and produced the top-ten single âNever Againâ.
Her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. The lead single âMy Life Would Suck Without Youâ re-broke the record for biggest jump to number one on the Hot 100, jumping 97-1 in its second week on the chart. The record still stands today.
