Billboard has let us know early that Kelly Clarkson will top tomorrow's new Hot 100 chart with "My Life Would Suck Without You," the first single from her upcoming fourth album, All I Ever Wanted. The single, which was #1 at iTunes all last week and is gaining very quickly at radio, makes a 96-spot leap to #1 from last week's #97 spot, breaking the record for biggest jump to #1 (set recently by Britney Spears, who jumped from #96 to #1 with "Womanizer"). Eventually, as J.Mensah points out, someone will jump 100 to 1 and this whole "biggest jump to #1" record business will be moot.This is Clarkson's second #1 hit, following her debut "A Moment Like This," which incidentally also broke the "jump to #1" record in 2002 when it moved from #52 to #1. While "Miss Indepedent" and her Breakaway singles (particularly "Since U Been Gone") are surely regarded as bigger hits, they all came out before the recent resurgence in singles sales (thanks to iTunes) and at that time would have had a hard time hitting #1.
Speech! Speech! has a different take on the significance of this #1 hit.
