Kelly Clarkson Tops My Personal Countdown for the Second Time This Year

Kelly Clarkson is one of the five acts this year to have two #1 songs in my personal countdown.  This week, Catch My Breath moves to the top spot following Don't Rush, her duet with country star Vince Gill, which went to #1 just two weeks ago.

The four other acts to achieve what Kelly did are Beyonce (End of Time, I Miss You), Carly Rae Jepsen (Call Me Maybe, Good Time), Keane (A Bad Dream, Sea Fog) and Vertical Horizon (All Is Said and Done, The Lucky One).

Here are my ten favorite songs for the week ending December 21, 2012 -

#1 Kelly Clarkson - Catch My Breath (#7)

#2 Sakanaction - Boku to Hana (#9)

#3 P!nk - Try (#4)
