Starting point is 00:00:03 Now, as far as the goaded Christmas tracks, safe to say, Kelly Clarkson definitely has herself won. But then, you know what I'm saying? As if you look at it in a pocket watcher perspective that you know over here at notorious mass effect, we do a numerous amount of times. Let me just leave it at that. So as far as Kelly Clarkson's track, underneath the tree that was released 2013, safe to say, it's one of the most iconic christmas tracks on planet earths to the point where currently kelly clarkson is already on the charts as far as underneath the tree uh the tree being the
Starting point is 00:00:47 19th most play track in the world and then she has a whole album that's on the charts as far as wrapped in red so a lot of different christmas artists that i've been covering they don't necessarily have albums percolate in the top 50 but Kelly Clarkson is actually one of them that does have an album on the charts that's titled wrapped in red now as far as that specific album underneath the Christmas uh no underneath the tree is on that album that came out October 29th 2013 but of course ladies and gentlemen is 2025 so you're probably wondering to yourself why are we getting into underneath the tree once again well because not only is it the 19th most played track in the world but as far as future chart predictions because you know it is holiday season right actually hold
Starting point is 00:01:38 up you know your boy already had to throw on the christmas attire to get into the christmas spirit i'll just letting them know so anyways when it comes back to the actual music industry safe to say kelly clarkson has a notorious mass effect where her specific track underneath the christmas tree is an understatement but when you compare it to the top of the top of the Christmas tracks in the world. Safe to say is not as big, but we're comparing it to the top of the top. We're really getting into to put in sports terms, the MJ and LeBron nitpicking type of arguments because compared to the Mariah Carey's, all I want for Christmas is you.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Compared to Brenda Lees rocking around the Christmas tree compared to being Crosby's white Christmas, it pales in comparison as far as revenue, but it's still immensely successful. And even that's an understatement, which all those people are named besides being Crosby I've covered in detail. Because when it comes to the Christmas season, I do like to dive into different Christmas themes. And this just fit in line with what we already do as far as deep diving into the tracks that notoriously impact, that notoriously affect the masses. So getting back into Kelly Clarkson, a lot of people may just know her from the American Idol season one. But if you do know her from that, I'm not going to say it. But you may be a little...
Starting point is 00:03:04 All right, my fault. I ain't going to say it, but you know, you've been on this earth for quite some time. So anyways, with that being said, her career sales, as far as after winning the American Idol season one, she had a hit title, Since You Been Gone, that has surpassed one billion Spotify streams. Now, I'm not trying to be that guy. But when I looked at it, safe to say, she has a plethora of tracks that's on the way to one billion. She has because of you, stronger underneath the tree. So I don't know what it is about the Kelly Clarkson fans out there.
Starting point is 00:03:39 But safe to say a billion is a lot. I understand, you know, having an 800 million, I guess, you know, at Kelly Clarkson's volume going up and down sporadically. It's harder to get those tracks to a billion. But objectively speaking, since you've been gone, it's her most successful track. And I think at some point underneath the tree will become her best-selling track or just most listened to track of all time just based off of future projections and of course past history of December always boosting tracks Christmas tracks like this back on the charts so when it comes
Starting point is 00:04:14 to that a lot of people compare this type of musical sound especially the track because not a lot of the christmas tracks don't all sound the same some are more slowed down song but like some old white man some are more sped up and have more of a bob to it as far as which you can dance to and then so much is in the middle as far as Kelly Clarkson's track underneath the tree a lot of people compare to Mariah Carey's track all I want for Christmas is you meaning that the overall musical style the upbeat type of tempo that Mariah this I'm almost a Mara the scientist that Mariah Carey and Kelly Clarkson went with is very comparable and when it comes to her future as far as endeavors with her career safe to say she's
Starting point is 00:05:02 been touring and I believe she just got off some type of appearance as far as performing in Las Vegas and when you look at her IG specifically her IG has a lot of different tours and dates that you can go watch her as far as if you're a huge Kelly Clarkson fan but as you can see right here I think this is the one I had up but basically is Kelly Yoki in Vegas so if you was wanting to go see that I think she put up flyers whatever this one yeah this is the Las Vegas residency, which is now to November 15th to July 17th. Oh, this is just like older dates. So I think she already completed these.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Not I think, yeah, she definitely already completed these. But as far as just having different sessions, having different live events, seemingly she's still feeding her audience. So it's nice that she's being rewarded as far as showcasing up live and her audience going back and listening to her standout tracks. So with that means said, click my link to your bio.
