Chart Performance
"My Life Would Suck Without You" debuted at number 97 on the Billboard Hot 100 the week of January 29, 2009 and went to number one in its second week, setting the record for the furthest jump to number one in history. This is the second time Clarkson has set this record, after her debut single "A Moment Like This" went from number 52 to number one in 2002. "My Life Would Suck Without You" and Clarkson's own "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" are also the only songs by an American Idol alum to top the Hot 100 chart that were not associated with the show. The song also advanced to number three on Billboard's Mainstream Top 40 chart, giving her her first top ten airplay hit since "Because of You". The song was dethroned from the top of the Hot 100 chart by Eminem's "Crack a Bottle". As of March 27, 2013, the song has so far sold over 2,709,000 downloads in the United States. The song debuted on the Australian ARIA Charts at number 16 and peaked at number five, and is also Clarkson's first physical number number one single. In the United Kingdom, the song climbed from number one hundred and three on the UK Singles Chart to number one on March 1, 2009 ― for the week ending date March 7, 2009 ― becoming Clarkson's first number-one single in Britain, selling 51,114 copies in its first week as a digital release. Despite being Clarkson's highest charting single there, its stay on the chart is considerably less than some of her other singles. With 17 weeks inside the UK Singles Chart, it ranks behind her number five hit "Since U Been Gone" at 37 weeks and her number seven hit "Because of You" at 25 weeks. As of June 2012, My Life Would Suck Without You has sold 365,720 copies in the United Kingdom.

“Perhaps in His wisdom the Almighty is trying to show us that a leader may chart the way, may point out the road to lasting peace, but that many leaders and many peoples must do the building.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“The way to go to the circus, however, is with someone who has seen perhaps one theatrical performance before in his life and that in the High School hall.... The scales of sophistication are struck from your eyes and you see in the circus a gathering of men and women who are able to do things as a matter of course which you couldn’t do if your life depended on it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
