Kelly Brianne 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. She became the runner-up of ''World Idol'' the following year. Clarkson's debut studio album ''Thankful'' (2003) has been certified 2x 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 6x platinum and sold over 12 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''. The lead single "Catch My Breath" is her twenty-fourth entry on the Hot 100 and her eleventh million-selling single. Clarkson has sold over 25 million album sales and 40 million singles worldwide. In a career spanning over a decade, Clarkson has accumulated eighty-three 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." ''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.
