I think it's his best effort since confessions. First time I bought a cope in the first from him. I hope he can get another hit from it to boost sales, there are still some good singles on it.

Don't care what no-one says. This album is the shit. I've played it constantly for a week now (well, not constantly... ya get me). Solid, start to finish. Most consistent album since Confessions, for real.

But I thought in order to be number one, the CD need to sell 500,000 or more copies. :-?

Err LOL :lol: No, it just has to sell more than #2.
Who cares how many people bought it, he still got that #1 and made a good album.

I feel the same way! For me it's a tad better than Here I Stand but definitely no RvR.

The singles HAVE to keep coming and they HAVE to keep getting pushed!
He's had two top 5 singles this era in the UK. Not something Usher has done since Confessions! It's fantastic news but we need a strong 3rd single with an X-Factor performance to push it and a winter tour.

The next single choice is crucial to the era in the UK. If it's successful then we could get a 4th without a reissue of the album!

Numb? Euphoria? Twisted?

I really started to enjoy this album. I needed some time to get into some songs, but I think now I can enjoy it as a whole.

I am totally in love with "Numb" and "Show me". Releasing "Scream" as a first single was a mistake I think.

I agree. I thought it was a strong pop song but in fact, it's probably the weakest next to Numb or Euphoria.

:o 'Numb' and 'Euphoria' are the best tracks on the album!

He'd be insane not to release 'Euphoria' in UK/AUS at least.

Scream defo was a mistake and should never of happened. Euphoria would of been better with Lemme See for Urban and promoted the shit out of both of them.. album would of opened alot higher for sure.
