This week, Kelly Clarkson reaches the top of the Hot 100 chart with “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You).” The song is Clarkson’s third Number One on that list. She sat at the summit for two weeks in 2002 with “A Moment Like This” and also for two weeks in 2009 with “My Life Would Suck Without You.” “Stronger” remains at Number One on Billboard’s Digital Songs chart for a second week. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the track sold 237,000 copies during the past week.
Maroon 5’s Adam Levine has launched his own record label, 222 Records. Glee cast member Matthew Morrison is the first artist signed to the label. “Starting my own label has been a long time goal of mine," Levine said, "and I am thrilled to be at the point in my career where it is finally happening. I am excited for everyone to hear Matthew’s forthcoming album. Great things are in store for him with this release.” Morrison’s 2011 self-titled debut album for Mercury Records produced the Top 20 Adult Contemporary chart hit, “Summer Rain.”
