Usher’s New Album, “Here I Stand,” In Stores June 08
Usher ft. Young Jeezy – Love In The Club
Fans of LaFace/Zomba recording artist Usher are embracing the multi-talented superstar’s newest song, “Love In This Club.” It is the No. 1 song in the country making an astonishing leap from #51* to the No. 1 position on Billboard’s “Hot 100 Singles” chart. “Love In This Club” also claims the No. 1 spot on SoundScan’s digital tracks and iTunes tracks charts during the first week of its release. This accomplishment marks Usher’s eighth No. 1 single in the United States.
As expected, “Love In The Club,” is number 1 and will be a hit. Usher last album was fire so I expect the same this time around, more info on Usher is below.
“Love In This Club,” featuring Young Jeezy, co-written by Usher and produced by Polow Da Don is also being well-received by music critics; Entertainment Weekly calls it a “Must” listen, proclaiming that Usher “returns with his magnetic club groove.”
“Love In This Club” is the first single from his eagerly-awaited fifth studio album titled Here I Stand, slated for worldwide release this June. Here I Stand is Usher’s follow-up to his history-making, 9x platinum-selling Confessions. Within the first week of the release of Confessions, Usher sold more than any other R&B artist in the history of Soundscan. The album spawned four #1 hit singles and Usher spent 40 weeks in the No. 1 position on The Billboard Hot 100– which is more than any other male artist in the nearly 50 year history of the chart. The multi-talented, five-time Grammy-winner, musician and actor has sold nearly 14 million copies of Confessions worldwide and it earned a multitude of honors including MTV, BET, and People’s Choice awards.
Over the span of his 14-year career, Usher has sold close to 26 million albums worldwide and combining all of his single, album and DVD sales, he’s sold in excess of 36 million units globally. With four studio albums, the eponymous first release, Usher (1994) and multi-platinum albums, the 6x-platinum My Way (1997),the 4x-platinum 8701 (2001), and the 9x-platinum Confessions (2004) and one gold-certified live album simply titled Live (1999), and a string of #1 hit singles including “U Remind Me,” “U Got It Bad,” “Yeah,” “Burn,” and “My Boo” Usher’s return to the top of the charts is inevitable. The Tennessee-born, Atlanta raised performer, songwriter, producer, dancer, actor started his multi-faceted career at the age of 15-years old.

Its always hard to follow up a classic. Last time he dropped a album it wasn’t that much album leaks.

Usher is the man. A real international superstar.

usher last album was a classic i dont know if he can top that last one but love in the club plays every 10 min here in atl on the radio

I agree with #2. No matter how good the album is yall gonna say “This is wack” or “This aint confessions, Usher fell off”. It happens to the best of everybody. Its damn near impossible to follow up a classic. But Usher is definitely that deal, he’s our version of Michael Jackson in the good old days before the craziness.

confessions also had the whole break up with chilli storyline in there, this album wont connect was easilly but im sure chances are he could do better just based on who he is,
March 6th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
i fuck with this song……i respect usher as an RnB artist, to me he one of the best RnB artist out he way better then R.Kelly……but of corse people may say that im wrong becuz R.Kelly has been out longer, but as far as who has the better success i would say usher and that is more important…..not even that usher last album was strong classic album, n it was way better then R.kelly last album R.kelly last album was cool, but there was somthing alittle strang n molesting about his album that make me a retire fan of him……usher is the 50.cent to hiphop when it come to selling record in RnB.

Co-sign No.5
This album has usher pulling emotions from that of a family man, not of a heartbroken bachelor.
Unless he can come with more classic bangers like Yeah!, Burn, And Confessions Pt. 2, this album will pale in comparison to that of Confessions which captured so many people.
But on the other hand he is working with ne-yo, timbaland, and a jay-z collab is said to be in the works, so there might be a chance he can draw some of the success he captured on the previous album, just because people have been waiting to hear from him again. I hope he doesn’t drop the ball.

I didn’t care for this song at first, until they played it in the club the past weekend. The shit’s fire. The beat had titties bouncin’ everywhere. I can’t help but support a song that does that.
March 6th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Usher is a great R&B artist but he’s no R.Kelly. R. Kelly is just on another level…When it comes to music then R. Kelly is THE MAN.
March 6th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Shit. I’m really out of the loop. This the second number 1 song I haven’t heard.

if you aint heard “moving mountains” or “i cant win” check yourself
these are two of my favorite songs by usher to date, and i been a fan since my way
check em, not only are they strong, emotional, catchy songs, but as a music student, his vocals are off the way
he’s back as a musician, better then before

usher is a weak little punk who dont know what its like to be on the streets.he wouldnt last one day without all his little paid black boys following him everywhere he goes.anybody will be your friend for a few bucks.all that fuckin’ black shit sounds the same.fuck the punks dont know shit

I Can’t Win is my favourite song upto now in 2008.
Ne-yo wrote it and stargate produced it. Ushers vocals jus seem perfect i think with a nice video this will be another usher number 1!!
to #20 you must be jealous or summat. i dont get wat your point is.
HERE I STAND WILL BE A CLASSIC
the song with Jay Z should be next single.
Then I Cant Win
