It's sad when you sell half a million CDs and your CD is called a dud. But that's what's happening to Kelly Clarkson. Her "My December" CD has sank on the charts in its third week or release and the future looks grim. Some artists would obviously be thrilled at 500,000 units sold, but when your previous CD sold a bazillion copies, expectations are very high. The record company is abandoning Kelly and she has no life jacket.Fox News:
Kelly Clarkson’s new album, “My December,” will hit the 500,000 mark, or just a little under it, Tuesday, after three weeks in release.
But basically, “My December” is a dud. Just as insiders predicted, it started big with 300,000 copies sold in the first week, followed by 114,000 in the second and about 60,000 in the third.
Clarkson said some nasty things last week about her label guru, Clive Davis, with regard to his age.
But Clarkson was dead wrong, and Davis was correct. She’s now undermined the pop persona Davis and his team carefully crafted. She may never get it back. “My December” will be lucky to sell a total of a million CDs over the next few months.
