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

[Here Comes the Pain]

hate to break the news to yall but usher been washed since since like '08 or '09. whatever year it was when he stopped making music with Jermaine dupri.

his music career has been a comical struggle ever since.





usher is far from what yall make him out to be on here breh.

hes going down as a legendary entertainer, sure. that's about it tho.





hes tried making grown-folks music and failed. yall would know this if yall followed the music that yall claim to follow.

that's not his lane. it never was. he doesn't have the vocals, the style or the authenticity.

hes a bubble-gum artist that's just old now. its over. and its been over for about 7 or 8 years now.

Dude has had a good 4-5 album run.

One of the best r&b artists of his generation and one of the biggest selling artists of all time.

Yes he's known as an entertainer, but dude is definitely a good singer.

8701, confessions, and here I stand was "grown folks" music. Not sure what you're talking about.

People really tryna take away from the man's talent and his accomplishments.

he will never drop something as good as coffesion

I agree. I said last 5 years breh

Ah well, that's what happens when you cater to a demographic that couldn't care less about you.

Ushers Just A Guy Who Made Some Cool Music And Can Dance Really Good

Legend? Icon? fukk No lol

This post should not have 15 daps, the fukk is wrong with y'all!?

What's wack is that I'm hearing good things about it, unlike his previous 2-3 albums.

 

[DontEemTry]

It's over for these nikkas man

Crazy that nobody mentioned "My Way" in this thread. Usher has 3 huge selling classics in 20 years. Thats legendary...

I'm not counting him out tho. He fell off once before 8701 came out, but he managed to bounce back

"My Way" was the album before 8701 breh.

The irony of course is that kids don't buy shyt...especially by someone their father's age . The 40 and up crowd is way more likely to actually buy your CD.

Exactly, my dad and Babyface are the same age and he bought his new CD and plays his shyt on repeat. Usher fanbase is largely 30-40, stick with that.

since when did a legendary performance dictate weather somebody is a legend or not his dancing alone puts him in a elite category.

were you under a rock when confessions and 8701 came out

Don't forget My Way. That shyt was fire.

Kells went full retard with the most recent songs he put out. His fans just ignore the crap (and his extra curricular activities) because the classics he got are untouchable

I shouldve been more clear like 2007 r kelly

Usher problem is that he wanted to cater to the youngins with his singles.

Usher lost me forever with this song

Yes, technically. But there was an advanced version of 8701 that they tried to put out but the singles they released flopped hard. So they scrapped it and came out with the retail 8701 which blew up.

8701 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It was intended for an October 31, 2000 release under the title All About U, the album was delayed numerous times, following the leak of several tracks onto the online music store Napster. Usher subsequently recorded new tracks and released the album under the new title, 8701,

Wikipedia blamed it on a leak. But it was definitelty a lack of buzz. It might've been a wrap for Usher if 8701 didn't work

He should've put out Let Me & Tell Me or Missing U put as the first two singles.

I remember that. But you can't use an album that didn't actually come out as an example of a fall off. But yeah you are right that would have been bad for Ush. They had this nikka rocking headscarves and shyt .
