Usher :: The "Looking For Myself" Era

by **Rub_rb** » Wed Jun 20, 2012 4:39 pm

Looking For Myself debuts at #42 in Spain...

I know it's not too much but...

Only "Confessions" charted here and it was #56 (10 wks on chart) back in 2004.

So definitely a good result for him in my country...

^ Jeebus @ Looking 4 Myself the track! It's been a while since the #1 track was an album track and sold THAT much

Can someone update the "Scream" wiki with the Japan Hot 100 numbers? I put it in earlier but someone took it down...

Also "Scream" is number 4 in Canada.

10 weeks for Climax at #1 R&B . This song is just a monster 8-)

It's not like it had much competition lol. It'll most likely drop off next week though as its urban airplay + Urban AC won't be enough for "Mercy" most likely.

"Lemme See" is on the rise! Number 6 right now.

Next week:

1. Mercy
2. Heart Attack
3. Climax
4. Lemme See

Most likely.

AMAZING! "Lemme See" should easily top the chart as well

I think it's a combination of a few factors, and I don't think his fans have left him in droves.

I just think compared to his last album people are buying less albums. Nobody wants to truly admit it - but people will either buy the single or just download the CD.

We'll never know how many copies are really out there.

Crazy how that shift happened in just 2 years. Also he did like near ZERO promo in the US.

I'm pretty sure Usher is just thinking about topping charts and touring right now as that's what's hot nowadays anyways.

I'm starting to think usher did virtually no promotion on purpose, I've visited other websites and talked with other people and most didn't even know the album is even out now!

by **dik** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 2:48 pm

Regarding his previous record breaking charting albums I would consider this more of a FLOP than Madonna's MDNA. Totally unexpected but it's a fact.

Considering that he started at 100K I would say that this is pretty good for a 2nd week. Besides he ain't promoting his own album :cry:

It will go gold after all

Usually he goes on 106, letterman, Ellen, Good morning America during the release week and this time it's like he was avoiding TV. His next TV appearance are the BET Awards :cry:

I don't know wanna be dramatic but somthing might going on behind the scenes

by **GetBack** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 3:16 pm

I wonder why he didn't promote this, so many do not know about this album coming out! A complete opposite when "OMG" and Raymond v Raymond came out in 2010!
