Usher's first week sales projection (He had a great run)

[prophecypro]

he could have a last minute surge and maybe do 35-40k instead

its been done

I've seen some artists do better than their projections quite bit along with streams (like Britney was projected 35k and ended up 90-100k) so you ever know

I think 8701 is better than Confessions

This is not really true. Teenage white girls buy more shyt than anyone. They're the one buying singles moving units for Taylor Swift and shyt. That or their parents get it for them. Generally speaking however, yes, older people are more likely to buy your shyt. But honestly, Usher released his album on early on Tidal. How are these his first week sales? It should be that week where his album was released.

Are teenage white girls really checking for Usher in 2016 though? It's funny because when I was referencing young people, I was thinking about every demo but young white girls .

lol no, white girls or anyone checking for ushers music. His style just isn't what people want to hear anymore. Like some other poster said, he's not unique enough to pop like he did before.

thems the breaks nukka, ain't no limit...

Album That Made People Desperate To Be Released?

You never heard of Confessions?

Usher tried to make grown music and y'all lamed out on Here I Stand. He had a more grown single in Good Kisser and y'all lamed out again. Meanwhile his EDM shyt and I don't mind was charting high.

Usher just needs to put a dad hat on and sing like crap. He'll be back on top in no time

Glad someone brought it up. 100% facts.

Usher is my 2nd favorite artist of all time so I'm very disappointed that people aren't showing him no love. He really did just drop a pretty good album.

Usher has given people mature music. He dropped good kisser, clueless, and she came to give it to you. I don't mind charted higher than anyone one of them records.

Here I stand was a mature that still get hated. He didn't go edm straight out the gate until the whole r&b game went down with that autotune stuff and even then his albums have been mostly r&b outside of those edm singles.

Usher had crash to go with no limit wnd missing u to go with rivals. Usher had something for younger generation as well as something for his core fanbase from the singles to the actual album.

Now I will say that rca gotta step they game up on promoting these albums. The record label is kind of sabotaging some of their artists.

I feel like people just hate on usher or give him these unrealistic expectations of wanting him to make confessions 2.0. I don't see any other artist of his caliber getting that kind of treatment.

It ain't even like usher is washed talent wise. Just don't make sense at all, but watch how nikkas come through in droves when Timberlake`s album drop next year.

. Nah, they're not. Usher played it wrong when his album with that Jeezy single didn't pop off he went EDM. And then he tried to come back and everybody was . He let Timberlake take his elderstatesman lane and yeah white girls still like JT lol.

FACTS!
he never really measured up to the hype followin' confessions
but you sir are 100% correct!

Usher was already established when Confessions dropped. Usher had been in the game for 10 years when Confessions came out and was 3 albums deep and over 11 million sold. Yes Confessions was his peak but don't pretend like Usher hadnt already been dropping dope shyt.

I'd be lying tho if I said i wasnt somewhat dissapointed with his music recently.
Here I Stand was the last album I fukked with

[Piff Perkins]

Usher out here selling less than Maxwell and D'Angelo. What a perfect example that young fans don't give a fukk. You gotta find a loyal fan base and cater to them.

Usher will be fine tho. Didn't he just do a huge tour?

 

[TheDream]

Give us a combination of 8701 and Confessions damnit!!!!

Usher is def a legend. But don't be disrespecting Breezy. He has been releasing better music then Usher for the past 5 years.

Usher is a Legend that has earned his spot to sit amongst the greats.
