Although it's definitely not at the same caliber as 2004's "Yeah", Usher sees his latest single "OMG" rise 6-1 this week on the Hot 100, giving the R&B superstar his 9th number one single.
He is now tied with Elton John and the Bee Gees for the 10th artist with the most number singles in HISTORY.
Pretttyyy impressive if I do say so myself.
Not so impressive though, is how bland and cliche "OMG" actually is. Everyone, including Usher, has jumped on the auto-tune bandwagon, and this song is just soo not as good as his previous hits.
But it's nice to see him back on top; Usher's had a phenomenal career, but has seen lagging album sales since his 10x platinum iconic Confessions was released in 2004.
As a tribute to his 15 year career, here' a look at Usher's 9 number one singles, as well as the sales for his six studio albums:
