Coldplay vs. Kelly Clarkson—Who Won?
Was Kelly Clarkson's Stronger strong enough to topple Coldplay?
The O.G. American Idol took on Chris Martin & Co. on the charts this week, but did Coldplay's domination streak end when they decided to throw English—or any semblance of comprehensible album titles—to the wind?
So True? So False? Is Katy Perry Really as Big as Michael Jackson?!

Katy Perry loves acting like E.T. Michael Jackson was an out-of-this-world entertainer.
She likes brightly colored vintage outfits. He sported sequined gloves. She voiced Smurfette in The Smurfs. He once played the Scarecrow in The Wiz. She's kissed a girl. He's kissed a—well anyway, both also started performing at a young age and came from strict religious households.
But is the "Teenage Dream" singer really on par with the King of Pop when it comes to thrilling chart success?
Well, no need for her to beat it because the answer is...
How Big Is Amy Winehouse in Death?

If nothing else, Amy Winehouse's sudden death has reminded fans of her extraordinary talent.
The British belter is back on the charts in a big way this week. How big?
Did Amazon's Download Delays Sink Lady Gaga's Album Sales?
Being able to buy Lady Gaga's Born This Way for just 99 cents last week was good news for fans—well, in theory, anyway. Right up until a surge in downloads caused a woefully unprepared Amazon to crash.
Let this be a lesson to future digital retailers: do not underestimate the eager zeal of a Little Monster.
So did the online blackout botch Lady Gaga's chance at a No. 1 album or was Amazon's profit loss Mother Monster's sales gain?
Chris Brown's Meltdown Really, Really Good for Business
ABC/Ida Mae Astute
Guess rewarding bad behavior has become something of a trend.
Chris Brown has once again proven that any press is good press—even when that press has to do with your Hulk-channeling, window-smashing, shirt-disposing, anger-mismanaging meltdown. Why?
Because the same week that he dominated the headlines with his Good Morning America hissy fit, his new album, F.A.M.E., dominated the charts and debuted atop the Billboard pile at No. 1.
Brown's fourth studio album sold more than 271,000 copies its first week out and marks Brown's first time at the top spot. As if that weren't enough, F.A.M.E. is also the second highest-selling album of the year. Well, at least we (and Tom Bergeron) can take solace in the fact that it's only March. We've got nine months to make this right, America.
Love 'Em Tender: Glee Officially Bigger Than Elvis
Carin Baer/FOX
The King is dead. And he's ceded his throne to those pop princes and princesses of Glee.
The castmembers of the hit Fox series have just made music history—having already toppled the likes of The Beatles and Michael Jackson, the New Directions just passed Elvis Presley and now own the record of most songs ever on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The Glee crew's cover tunes have accounted for 113 entries on the Hot 100 since the show began releasing singles a year and a half ago (though it should be noted that fewer than one-fourth remained on the charts longer than a week). With the six tracks that debuted this week, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith and company can now genuinely say they're bigger than Presley, whose record had stood at 108 songs.
Somebody better cue "Heartbreak Hotel," 'cause we're sure Elvis fans are seriously sad right about now.
Don't Believe The Hype: Dead Michael Not Really No. 1—Find Out Who Beat Him
Epic Records
If you thought Michael Jackson was invincible, think again.
Despite the spin from Jackson's camp that Michael, the first posthumous collection of all new M.J. material, is the "No. 1 global album," there's something his reps aren't saying.
Like he wasn't even the chart-topper in the United States. Guess who beat him?
Just How Hot Is Glee's Darren Criss?
Twitter
Well, on a sliding scale: way hotter than Matthew Morrison, Cory Monteith and Mark Salling combined. But not as hot as Susan Boyle.
Though in fairness, no one is. Not even Taylor Swift. At least, not at the moment.
So WTF are we talking about? Simply this…
Who Loves Taylor Swift? Apparently Everyone (Sorry, Jake!)
In case you haven't figured it out, Taylor Swift is indeed one popular girl.
The country songbird sold more than 1 million copies of her latest album, Speak Now—the biggest album debut in the past five years.
New Directions Now Bigger Than the Beatles! But Are Gleeks Happy About It?
Adam Rose/FOX
John Lennon once said the Beatles were bigger than Jesus. So by our math, the Gleeks are now running the universe.
Need proof the New Directions are officially bigger than the Fab Four?
