Kelly Clarkson released her 5th studio album, Stronger, on October 24, 2011. It debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 charts, led by the first single, "Mr. Know It All." The big hit of the album, however, was "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)." It became the #1 song worldwide in early 2012, becoming one of Kelly's biggest hits in her career. The third and final single, "Dark Side," did not see the same success. Stronger was Kelly's last studio album before releasing her first greatest hits compilation at the end of 2012.
Highlights on Stronger include "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)," "Dark Side," "You Love Me," "Standing In Front Of You," "You Can't Win," and the bonus track "Don't Be A Girl About It."
