Piece By Piece

Kelly Clarkson announced the release date of Piece By Piece, her sixth studio album and follow-up to 2011's Stronger. The new LP, which was preceded by the single "Heartbeat Song," is due out March 3 on RCA Records.

Clarkson also became a mom since her last official album, giving birth to River Rose last June.
"Heartbeat Song" debuted at No. 37 on last week's Hot 100 chart, The new single scored the third-best Hot 100 debut of Clarkson's 25 career entries.
