I really wish we could still have the Breakaway weekly numbers. I was constantly impressed a couple of months ago at how this album was still selling well.

[DARKNESSBALL]

i wish there was a way too. i think breakaway is still pretty hot even after all this time.

[halo_paramore]

i still hear Breakaway on the radio here.

I hadn't realized until I listened to this interview just how huge Because Of You was. I didn't know that it was Kelly's biggest worldwide hit to date, being the first of her singles to top the World Charts. Listening to the interviewer say that while they showed clips from the video was really great.

[DARKNESSBALL]

i didn't know it went to #1 on the world chart either. that's very cool info!

[Hevding]

I don't think I've ever liked Addicted as much as most fans of Breakaway, don't get me wrong I love the song but I just don't rank it as highly as the majority of the rest of the album! I hold "Where Is Your Heart" in as high steed as most people hold "Addicted". Something about that song just grabs me!

Hear Me also used to be my 2nd fave Kelly song of all time (Pre MD era) but I think it's fading down my list with time.

Sad. I can't do this for Breakaway. I only listened to it via CD. Breakaway was pre-iTunes for me. That's neat to see your list though.

[DanceWithLife]

Breakaway was also pre-iTunes for me. I only have a handful of the songs on there now, but most of the time I just pop in the whole CD.

[KC and LP Fan]

I put all my CD's into Itunes but since I just re uploaded my Itunes I lost all my playcounts. Sadly this cd doesn't have a lot of counts right now.

[DanceWithLife]

I really need to do that - put all my CDs into iTunes.

Pitchfork Media names SUBG the #21 song of the 2000's.

21. Since You Been Gone, Kelly Clarkson Songs about wresting your self-respect back from a bad lover have an unfortunate tendency to turn into shrill, one-sided attacks. All-American belter Kelly Clarkson, however, had a much less petty take on self-empowerment: "Your loss, sucker. I'm still gonna live my life. And better than ever before." So, sure, "Since U Been Gone" gave us one of the most blunt rallying cries of the last ten years, a perfectly realized sing-along chorus that will be a karaoke staple for years. But it's fair to say that no one, even her early post-TV partisans, figured on an "American Idol" winner turning out such a great rock song, let alone a 21st-century indie rock pastiche given a world-conquering pop glaze by Swedish impresario Max Martin. But homage to certain new millennium New York bands isn't why the song transcends. It's Clarkson's go-for-broke performance, those reality show-honed pipes finally put to expressing the unfiltered joy of newfound freedom. --Jess Harvell

that is really cool! who else/what other songs were on the list?

[KC and LP Fan]

There were a lot of big names on the list, most of the top 20 didn't surprise me. Though I didn't know #1 I don't believe. I'll have to go back and look.

[DanceWithLife]

Here is the link to the Top 20:

Pitchfork: Staff Lists: The Top 500 Tracks of the 2000s: 20-1

I wasn't really surprised by any of the Top 20, though I didn't think Outkast would be the one nabbing the #1 spot. I actually had to look that song up to refresh my memory.

[DARKNESSBALL]

thanks for the link to the top 20. i feel horrible for not knowing half the songs on it.
