With downloads reaching their peak in 2012, the era Stronger did well in that format. The title track was huge, selling close to 8 million units. Mr. Know It All and Don’t You Wanna Stay sold over 3 million copies each. The era was responsible for more than 17 million sales.

Wrapped in Red isn’t the kind of albums that get strong hits, which is visible in its results. Piece by Piece got two million sellers which isn’t that bad for a 2015 album that is largely seen as a flop. Then, songs of Meaning Of Life are being non-events so far.

Clarkson has sold over 62 million digital units up to date. Her strongest sales avenues are US downloads at over 36 million, South Korean downloads at 7 million and US ringtones at 5 million.
