My December is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Kelly Clarkson. It was released on June 22, 2007, through RCA Records. Produced by David Kahne, the album was largely written and composed by Clarkson, who described the process as "free therapy" inspired by personal struggles. She maintained creative control despite reported conflicts with Sony BMG head Clive Davis, who allegedly sought major changes and a more commercial sound. Clarkson later faced media scrutiny over tour cancellations and label disputes but described the controversy as "blown way out of proportion." Critics praised My December for Clarkson's bold artistic vision and strong songwriting, with some calling it her most accomplished work, while others acknowledged its ambition but noted uneven execution and a lack of clear hits. The album debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, selling around 291,000 copies, and was certified platinum by the RIAA. It also achieved high chart positions internationally, including number two in the UK, Canada, and Ireland, and received multiple certifications, though it ultimately sold fewer copies than Clarkson's previous album Breakaway.
