Idol Chatter & Voice Views

With the release of her Greatest Hits Chapter 1 album set for next week, Kelly Clarkson has two songs from the album on Billboard’s Hot 100 this week.

“Don’t Rush,” her duet with Vince Gill, moved up eight spots on the chart this week, from 97 to 89.

And “Catch My Breath” re-entered the Hot 100 on number 96.

Both are actually doing better on other charts.

“Don’t Rush” is all the way up to number 23 among country songs; “Catch My Breath” is at number 19 among adult pop songs.

The greatest hits disc is set for a Monday release. You can pre-order it and a Smoakstack Sessions Vol. 2 EP form Kelly’s website.

The EP, recorded in Nashville, features Kelly singing “I Never Loved a Man,” “Your Cheatin’ Heart,” “Walking After Midnight,” “That Would be Good/ Use Somebody,” and “Lies.”
