Breh, none of these are about consistency. Usher has some iconic and classic songs and like mist artists, every album doesn't have them. So yeah, those records are spread out throughout his catalog mostly near the front end. I din't think most people understand, Usher's biggest album came when he was 10 years deep. That's unprecedented especially when he was multi with his second album even after the first one flopped.

*facepalm* No:

- Usher’s top records (the ones you picked) are not “spread throughout his catalog”
- Usher’s first album didn’t flop, it went Gold
- most artists’ greatest hits collection are pretty evenly distributed throughout their catalogue
- everybody does understand that Usher’s biggest album came when he was 10 years deep
- ...that’s not “unprecedented”; those are called “comeback albums”

Confessions was not a comeback record. My way and 8701 were multi platinum successes. It was unprecedented.

Usher first album did flop. It didn't even Crack the top 100.

Usher's top records are spread throughout his catalog. Those songs are spread across 5-6 albums (My Way, 8701, Confession, I Look To Myself, Raymond vs Raymond). That's literally spread throughout his catalog.

Usher's debut isn't gold

Greatest Hits collections aren't evenly distributed.

Confessions was a comeback from what exactly. Usher normally had 3 year gaps between albums. 8701 wasn't some massive flop or a decline in quality, so what was he coming back from? How was Confessions a comeback album?

I didn’t say Confessions was a comeback album.
I said “it isn’t ‘unprecedented’ for an artist to have their biggest album 10 years deep into their career”
The inference being that that happens on comeback albums.

Then list artists who had their biggest albums 10 years into their career. Outkast is the only other one I can think of.

Off the top of my head:

Keith Sweat
Isley Brothers

especially in the R&B game, you usually not gonna get real love until album 3 or 4...

This is false, Keith's biggest album wasn't yet album he dropped in 1998.

The Isley Brothers have a lot of certifications for their early albums, but the certs came later.
