This is such a relatable song. I'm glad it's gaining momentum.

I remember people disliking it because they had heard the demo first and liked it much better. The demo was better but the final version fit the album more.

100% true for me, and Evermore later

Mine is the kind of music I've been wanting Kelly to make for ages. It's got a more modern sound than MOL, more mature angst than MD, and is pretty catchy like her more poppy songs. I'm so glad it sound like IDY, HS, or B&B. As weird as it sounds, I see some parts of Mine that would do well on TikTok.

The lyrics in "Me' are great too. So far so good.

Maybe it's wishful thinking but it sounds like the end of Mine is picking up speed into something above mid-tempo. The drums make me excited.

This is so true. Folklore and Evermore were the albums I listened to endlessly during the pandemic. Both albums made it seem like she was just going to release what she wanted without worrying if it sounds like a hit. I still hate that she never released EXILE. That would have been huge.

Stronger by Kelly Clarkson. It would sound so Basic with anyone else singing it.

I was not into the song when it was released, but I love it now. She could have capitalized off of all these hits for sure.

She just needs the right songs. I honestly never expected her to peak in the Top 10, let alone twice. Happy to have her back in the spotlight.

I wish we had more performances like this now. Where two people can just flat out and sing without holding back. It makes watching it more fun.

I still go back to Empty As I am every now and then. Such a sad song, I wish she had recorded it.

There's Gotta Be (More To Life) and Stuck are classics in my mind.

Both Shakira and Miley with strong comebacks. Shakira Top 10 with a Spanish song. Wow.

It overtook it by two points, nothing crazy. Glad to see we got two new Christmas classics.

Oh man, this is hard to sing as a duet. Singing it alone must have felt like a marathon.

Exile deserved to be a single. It would have been much bigger than it is now.

CP is fine but Right Where You Left Me is amazing.

I love this cover.

Good catch! I was wondering if I should have included Lauren Daigle and Tori Kelly as well, they didn't make the Top 24 but were contestants. Each would have at least one song in the top 20. I'm curious to see how this list changes in the next couple of months.

Got bored and listed the top 20 most streamed American Idol alumni songs. Kelly is not a streaming juggernaut, but she seems to have done better than her Idol counterparts. Looks like UTT will surpass Carrie, Gabby, and Jordin after this Christmas season.
