Beautiful Disaster has gotten a cute little streaming bump after the duet with Amanda Seyfried. The live version from Breakaway got 50,591 streams yesterday The Thankful version got 11,429 streams yesterday

Yep she did, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNxv4lw277g She kind of spliced in Prince's When Doves Cry into the mix as well when she did it.

Probably final Kelly Christmas chart update! Most of the charts have updated so these are likely the final chart peaks this season. Underneath the Tree Highlights, UTT hit top 10 in 14 official charts this year. The most ever for the song. And it reached new peaks in 8/14 of those markets. Santa, Can't You Hear Me SCYHM really gained momentum this year, reaching new peaks in 5 markets and managing to crack 4 new markets. Wrapped in Red New peak in Hungary and it's cracked the top 20 in the USA for the first time since 2013. It's peaked in the top 30 for the last 6-7 years but it finally managed the top 20 again. When Christmas Comes Around Given how this album under performed when initially released, I'm pleasantly surprised to see it rising on so many national charts and the fact it charts in more countries than WIR (though it's placements in it's countries are not as high as WIR's). It came close to getting a new peak in Canada and it was not far off from a new peak in the USA either. Given how this album keeps growing, I wouldn't be shocked if it gets new peaks in CAN/USA next year. Overall, what Kelly's managed to accomplish with her Christmas catalogue is quite amazing. She not only has managed to snag two recurring Christmas hits but both of her albums have continued to chart and grow each year as well. In fact, she's one of only two artists with multiple Christmas albums charting. The other being Pentatonix but they are doing it with two compilation/greatest hits albums (and their second entry is barely charting while Kelly's are both in the top 30). Speaking of two albums in the top 30, she's one of only two artists with multiple albums in the top 30 this week, the other one being Sabrina Carpenter.

Kelly's whole catalogue pulled 29M streams on Christmas Eve and she crossed the 8B mark on Spotify. Wrapped in Red was the 10th most streamed album on Christmas Eve When Christmas Comes Around was the 15th most streamed album on Christmas Eve

Kelly with 5 songs in the top 50

She sounded amazing. Also, UTT will likely pass 1 Billion streams tomorrow, or at least after the 26th. Just 12M away.

Kelly Christmas 2025 peaks thus far. Full Billboard charts yet to be released so some of the USA/Canada peaks subject to change. Underneath the Tree 4 - The Netherlands - New peak 5 - UK - New Peak 7 - USA - New Peak 9 - Austria 10 - Canada 10 - Switzerland 10 - Greece - New Peak 11 - Ireland - Matches Peak 12 - Germany 13 - Luxembourg 15 - Lithuania 15 - Belgium - Re-Entry 16 - New Zealand 19 - Portugal - Re-Entry 22 - Poland 27 - Denmark - New Peak 28 - Norway - New Peak 36 - Hungary - Re-Entry 37 - Sweden - New Peak 39 - Finland - Re-Entry 51 - Moldova - Matches Peak 51 - Italy - Re-Entry - Matches Peak 62 - Croatia 98 - South Korea Santa Can't You Hear Me 32 - Germany 32 - Austria 34 - Switzerland 40 - USA - New Peak 45 - Canada - New Peak 49 - The Netherlands 52 - UK 60 - Greece Wrapped in Red 19 - The Netherlands 29 - Canada 34 - USA 46 - Germany When Christmas Comes Around 50 - USA 64 - Canada 99 - The Netherlands - Re-Entry

Even if the football event isn't until Christmas Day, that's still like 30 million people being exposed to Underneath The Tree and thus her Christmas catalogue as a whole. That can only help for next year as there's still people who haven't heard of her Christmas stuff yet.

Kelly Christmas peaks thus far this season. Underneath The Tree New all time peaks in several countries, including a new top 5 peak in the UK. It's certifications in Portugal and Greece have been upped to platinum. Santa Can't You Hear Me Besides the new peak in the USA, it has also matched it's peak in Austria. Has been certified gold in New Zealand. Wrapped in Red 29 - The Netherlands 39 - Canada 43 - USA 47 - Germany When Christmas Comes Around 66 - USA

A few tabloids have been pushing the "Kelly is leaving her talk show" stories again but this time Hoda is set to replace Kelly as host of TKCS.

The video is a pleasant surprise. I knew it would be simplistic but I was expecting it to be cheap and half-assed. This was simplistic done right. Matches the energy of the song, and it looks like there was actual love and effort put into making the video. Kelly genuinely looks happy doing the video and showing off her personality as a performer. It elevated the song for me.

People are allowed to criticize sloppy decisions for reasons beyond "chart" details. Like, I'm sure Kelly would like for her music to be distributed as professionally as possible. Much smaller indie acts than her can get that stuff right.

This is fine, she sounds amazing, but it's ultimately forgettable. The main thing with this, and some of her recent material, is that there seems to be little focus on crafting engaging melodies. The focus has been on her showing off her vocals and improved lyricism. You can do "mature" and "grown up" music while also having a catchy melody. Soft-rock can have great and memorable melodies. Blues can have great and memorable melodies. Just because she's not doing pop anymore doesn't mean her songs have to be so forgettable when it comes to melody. Like, I've listened to this 6/7 times now and nothing sticks in my head outside the "I was wrong" climax and some of the guitar solo.

I'm guessing one off singles until she gets an album ready. Especially if the material she is working on is as diverse as she's saying it is. Dropping them as standalone songs might make more sense then trying to shoehorn them in on one whole project. It's pretty common nowadays for artists to have "droplet" eras in between full album cycles.
