Kelly Clarkson still knows how to make a big impact. New single Mr. Know It All hasn’t even gone for adds yet, and it’s already in the top 40 on USA TODAY’s AC and Hot AC airplay charts, as well as in the top 20 on the overall American Idolairplay chart.

That, of course, is in addition to her Don’t You Wanna Stay duet with country singer Jason Aldean, which is still on the AC charts and continues to get spins across several other formats.

Over on USA TODAY’s Country chart, Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood’s Remind Me slips to No. 2 there, though it’s still the week’s most-played song featuring an Idol act. Scotty McCreery’s I Love You This Big stays in the Country top 20 (while new single The Trouble With Girls makes its Idol airplay debut), and Kellie Pickler’s Tough breaks into the Idol airplay top 10 while moving up to No. 28 on the Country chart. Also, after weeks of small but steady spin increases, Lauren Alaina’s Like My Mother Does cracks the Country top 40.

Kelly Clarkson dropped her new single, “Mr. Know It All,” on her website this week. It’s the first track off her Stronger album, due in October.

The song is an obvious Clarkson joint: feisty and straightforward, with a strong melody and a sing-along chorus. The midtempo breakup tune is about a girl letting her guy know that despite thinking he’s got it all figured out, he doesn’t.

On the chorus, she blasts, “Oh, you think that you know me/ Know me/ That’s why I’m leaving you lonely/ Lonely/ ‘Cause baby you don’t know a thing about me/ You don’t know a thing about me.”

She’s equally sassy on the bridge when she sings, “So what, you’ve got the world at your feet/ And you know everything about everything/ But you don’t/ You still think I’m comin’ back, but baby you’ll see.”

The track was written by Brett James (who has a country pedigree, having written for Carrie Underwood), Ester Dean (Beyoncé, Usher) and Dante Jones. Brian Kennedy (Chris Brown, Rihanna, Backstreet Boys) also co-wrote and produced the track.

Stronger is Clarkson’s fifth album release. It’s the follow-up to 2009′s All I Ever Wanted. “Usually, on most albums, I’ll fight and be like, ‘No, this needs to be the single.’ There’s no real fighting on this,” she told EW.com about the album. “The label and I, we love all of them. We’re just going to see what everybody digs.”

She added of “Mr. Know It All” that she “can’t wait to perform it. It’s everything I am as a woman and a singer. I love telling men off!”

In early 2011, Clarkson teased her influences for the album on Facebook. “This album was influenced by Prince, Tina Turner, Sheryl Crow, Radiohead and there’s a little bit of a country vibe/influence on a couple of songs,” she said.

Kelly and Jason’s Don’t You Wanna Stay is doing great on the charts recently, and is top 5 on AC radios!

KELLY CLARKSON has retired the song she sang after winning the first season of AMERICAN IDOL because it wasn’t written specifically for her.

A Moment Like This was the star’s first single and she felt compelled to sing it for fans who had voted her to victory on the TV talent show – but she’s sick of the tune and insists she won’t be performing it live anytime soon.

She tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, “It was a moment for whoever won (American Idol), but that song wasn’t written for me. I loved singing it for the finale. That’s what it was for. But you’re not going to catch me singing that song anytime soon.

“Someone would have to be dying in front of me, saying, ‘My last wish is for you to sing that song,’ for me to sing it.”

In mid-July, Kelly Clarkson returned from a vacation in Tahiti to discover that almost an album’s worth of her songs had leaked onto the Internet. Naturally, she was none too pleased. “Oh my God, have you ever been robbed? I have. I’ve been physically robbed a couple of times, but this is much worse,” Clarkson tells EW exclusively in her first public remarks about the incident.

Clarkson says she has no clue how songs including “Let Me Down,” “Dumb + Dumb = U,” “Cleopatra,” “Don’t Be a Girl About It” ended up online. But once they did, fans, eager for new material from the singer, quickly snatched them up.

Sure, the tunes were well-received, but there was a problem: They were old, and most of them weren’t even meant for her. “There are songs out there that are from eight or 10 years ago [from when Clarkson was recording her first album, Thankful.] … People are always asking me to write for other artists. They’re awesome songs, [but] they’re just not songs I would normally sing.”

The singer was also concerned for her fans — and her image. “Those songs came out and people are like, “Oh my God, what direction is Kelly going?” she says. “I think what made me mad was that: 1) People stole from me, and 2): Everybody had no idea what my next album was going to sound like. That really caused a lot of confusion.”

A couple of the leaked tunes (Clarkson won’t say which ones) will make it on to her fifth studio album, Stronger, which is schedule to drop Oct. 25. (Her lead single, “Mr. Know It All,” isscheduled to be released in early September.) “Here’s the best part though,” she promises fans. “Nothing that’s leaked is the final version. Those are all demos.”

So while she’s excited for her next album, she admits that even she hasn’t heard the final version of the release. “I don’t even have it, by the way, because I’m so freaked out to put it on my computer,” she says.

“Don’t You Wanna Stay,” Jason Aldean‘s collabo with Kelly Clarkson, re-enters the chart at #48. This is its 27th week on the chart. The song initially peaked at #31 in April. The song has sold 1,476,000 copies, which makes it the best-selling country collabo in digital history.

On twitter, Kelly said this

“My single is hitting radio in August! Woohoo! It’s sounds great as well! Can’t wait for y’all to hear it!”

But, than later on she tweeted this!

Okay please do not get angry but it might be September for my single My calendar was messed up! I’m so sorry! BUT it might be late August! It’s a huge bummer waiting but I promise it’ll be worth it! Stupid technology!!
