I think most of the streams from the last album went towards No Guidance so you might be right.

Imagine with the goodwill around him a well rolled out Usher album outselling Christopher

Were there any debates about that? Certainly not from me. Usher has been relevant for 3 decades now. He doesn't get nearly as much respect as he deserves.

I mean. I guess you’re right. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

But I see through the gimmicks

Twitter and social media goodwill be so fake considering Brandy, Monica, Ashanti, etc ain’t get nothing after them Verzuz battles lol.

Usher prolly never doing over 50k again but he did have a bigger career than Chris, a bigger peak, and Chris is still catching up to his run

I’d like to see a comeback, but he lost a lot of respect after the his EDM phase. He needs to stop following trends. I stopped checking for him because of that.

To be fair he had a good run.

He been out almost 20 years it’s not like he came out 5 years ago lol.

Read this in Hov’s voice

That ain't happening. Usher's catalog is insane. Social media be having that man f***ed up. He's got at least 20 joints in his catalog that will s*** on whatever Chris comes with.

I knew Usher was done when I realized I’d rather listen to an R&B Drake album than a new Usher album.

Chris was never an album artist either even at his prime so.

He’ll just get a few radio hits here and there as always.

Usher doesn't get enough props for still being an A1 vocalist and performer. He's pushing 50.

We're in July now. Gotta wonder when Lil Baby's album will be dropping seeing as Beyoncè has the last Friday of the month locked down.

Exactly.

He’s 43 lol

If I was 23 and someone said I was pushing 30 I’d be upset.

I have both AM and Spotify Premium

its just payola lol. The mariah carey remix dropped mid week on purpose so it wouldn't be the version to chart but it caused a huge spike in pure sales. Now its just radio carrying it.

*2nd

Maybe Sheeran was bigger in 2018 but he didn't drop for a while

51.5 million radio for big energy
