It's already tied with BYLM for the third spot...just two more weeks and it will be tied with ANDHC...or 3 more weeks and it will finally become the most successful AC entry for a female artist!

[VinnyT.]

yeah i know but it doesnt make any difference for me i really dont like that screamy lady pig aka Kelly Clarkson

[Ronny83]

I hope she won't keep #1 next week.  

Maybe Rob Thomas could beat her. He is doing very well in the AC charts.

[kdw123]

How can Kelly be tied with Celine....she is at #3 this week on the AC chart...not #1.    She had 15 weeks at number one, the was beat out by Michael Buble....then she only had two other weeks at #1 after that......now she is at #3, #2 on last weeks poll.   That is only 17 weeks at #1.

Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway" (Walt Disney/Hollywood) reaches another milestone on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart, as it refuses to move from the No. 1 spot. The song from the soundtrack to "The Princess Diaries 2" leads the list for the 19th week, tying Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me" as the second-longest running AC No. 1 by a solo female artist.

Only Dion's "A New Day Has Come," at 21 weeks, has had a longer visit at the summit.

If "Breakaway" can maintain its No. 1 status, it has the potential to become the longest-running No. 1 AC of all time. At the moment it is tied with Dion's "Because You Loved Me" for third place. "A New Day Has Come" is runner-up to "Drift Away" by Uncle Kracker featuring Dobie Gray, with a way-out-in front 28 weeks on top.

And she's at #1 this week on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart: http://www.billboard...ontemporary.jsp

So what? Who knows of Kelly Clarkson outside the US?  

[Mozinha]

I like Kelly and like this song.
But I hope she doesn't beat Celine on this one

[Lawna]

I agree with Mozinha... I love Kelly Clarkson she rocks! But in my opinion she is no Celine Dion...Celine RULZ!!! Celine is the best female artist who has and will ever exist.

[winforlife]

Someone would eventually tie or beat Céline's streak so let it be someone good. Kelly Clarkson has a strong voice, not a great as Céline's. Sheryl Crow has a dynamic voice. Many of her songs have good, thought provoking lyrics  she writes herself-talented singer. Her style is completely different than Céline's nevertheless her style remains strong and appealing-at least in the US.
In the 70's there were some great female artists that could give Celine a run for her money like Joni Mitchel, Carole King or Carly Simon. Some people may disagree with me which is fine

I know a Kelly Clarkson, but no in rest conutries....   
She is beautiful a voice great...

[Koolan]

Vinny, that name isn't appropriate for her. Kelly rocks, I like her voice and music. If the record were to be beaten, Kelly would be a great choice.

[Ronny83]

It's official: Kelly doesn't beat Céline. This week she lost her #1 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart. "Breakaway" stayed 20 weeks at #1 vs. "A New Day Has Come" 21 weeks.

So, "A New Day Has Come" is still the longest-running No. 1 by a female artist and the second-longest No. 1 in AC history, runner-up only to the 28-week record held by Uncle Kracker and Dobie Gray's "Drift Away."

[VinnyT.]

WOW WOW WOW i had no doubt Celine is Celine!

sorry Kelly try again!

[pom]

Alright, Kelly'll never beat Celine
But I love both of them

After nine weeks at No. 2 on the Adult Contemporary airplay chart, Michael Buble's "Home" takes over the lead from Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway," which falls into second place. It marks the end of a remarkable 20 week No. 1 run for the single, the third longest of all time on the chart behind "Drift Away" by Uncle Kracker featuring Dobie Gray (28 weeks) and Celine Dion's "A New Day Has Come" (21 weeks).

I doubt Kelly will beat Celine.  She screams way to much anyway (Kelly that is).  But I do like "Breakaway".

Michael Buble rocks.    

[CelineTheBest5]

No one knows who this girl is outside USA and if she beats Celine in AC chart it doenst mean that she´s better than Celine Dion. Celine has a big carrear from decades and decades, this girl is just starting now!

[Cheerfuljane]

OK
I had no idea who Kelly was until I read this thread, so I went to iTunes music store to download her songs just to give my opinion

She has an amazing voice, but, quite frankly, her songs don`t do her any justice!!
They`re really boring and the lyrics lack a little luster too.

20 weeks at #1 is cool but I don`t see her getting a grammy anytime soon!!

[Ethan]

She looks and sounds VERY CHEAP. Not close to Celine in talent or style at all.

[Koolan]

At least Celine is Kelly's idol

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

where do you get that from?

by the way...celine holds the record for most consecutive weeks at #1...uncle kracker's is most weeks at #1 (not consecutive)

[kdw123]

I don't like Kelly nor do I think she should have been at #1 for 20 weeks so I am glad she is not anymore.   I think she is just a "one hit wonder".

BUBLE BURSTS KELLY'S BUBBLE: If you were expecting to read that Kelly Clarkson tied Celine Dion's record for having the longest-running No. 1 song by a female artist in the history of Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart, sorry to disappoint you. But think how Clarkson must feel -- her "Breakaway" (Walt Disney/Hollywood) only needed one more week in pole position to tie Dion's 21-week reign with "A New Day Has Come."

Instead, Michael Buble earns his first No. 1 on this survey, as "Home" (143/Reprise) finally moves up after nine (non-consecutive) weeks at No. 2. "Home" is Buble's fifth AC chart entry and only his second song to reach the top 10. Before "Home," his highest-charting title was a version of "The Christmas Song," No. 6 in December 2003.

Despite the advance of "Home," don't give up on "Breakaway." It's very likely the Clarkson song could return to No. 1 as early as next week, giving the song its 21st week on top and the possibility of breaking Dion's record.

If "Breakaway" doesn't reclaim the lead position, it will still be the third-longest AC No. 1 of all time, behind the 28-week run of "Drift Away" by Uncle Kracker featuring Dobie Gray and the 21-week run of Dion's "A New Day Has Come."

I liked Kelly when she first came out with "Thankful" but she's changed so much and she seems really angry with her new music. But honostly, I don't think Kelly could ever match up with Celine. Celine's music has integraty, and there's something about her that many artists lack. Celine is the best, and to me, NO ONE will ever top her!!   

[pom]

Kelly has performed Think Twice in her concert 2 years ago, such an excellent singing.
