‘American Idol’ Clarkson’s Single Sets Billboard Record
As expected, “American Idol” winner Kelly Clarkson’s debut RCA single, “A Moment Like This,” has made the biggest single-week leap to No. 1 in the history of Billboard’s Hot 100.
The single sold 236,000 copies in the U.S. during its initial week at retail, according to Nielsen SoundScan, and the track rockets 52-1 on the new Hot 100, to be posted Thursday on Billboard.com.
Nelly’s “Dilemma” featuring Kelly Rowland had been No. 1 for seven-straight weeks.
