Usher :: The "Looking For Myself" Era

I'm liking how Usher is relying less on features this time around. Aside from Rick Ross, none of his tracks that seem mainstream have a feature.

Yeah! It seems ever since his success with Yeah!, his main singles always had some dumb feature. Also he<s performing in a bit on SNL!

As far everything looks very optimistic, if it comes to Scream 8-)

Wonder how high can it go :-?

And #3 on German Itunes :wink:

I think a top 10 hit is a given. Will it go number is the real question. Competition is just way too fierce this summer.

Usher's "Scream" performance on SNL was great. We should see some good results. Hopefully the single will go top 10 on iTunes this week!

Usher's radio takeover 8-)

Impacting all his key formats!
Urban, Urban AC, Rhythmic, Top 40... even Hot AC, with Scream :lol:

I love how Climax is acting like it is living its normal fading part of its radio life. Exactly not like there are 2 songs booming right after itself 8-)

For me Lemme See is so fr the best song
all songs are really great tho.

Lemme See >> Climax >> Scream

by **sanim02** » Tue May 15, 2012 10:09 pm

He's debuting "Twisted (ft. Pharrell)" tomorrow on MTV at 8pm.

I think it'll be a promo single or something... Kinda weird seeing as he JUST released 2 singles. Oh well, I'm not complaining!

I have a feeling too. It's really hitting its stride now, we can only hope that he gets his 10th number one! If not this, then Euphoria better smash harder!

by **danbarj** » Wed May 16, 2012 3:11 pm

I am here for 10th No. 1 Hot 100 single w/ "Scream"

I am here for double platinum or better for LFM.

I am here for at least 2 more #1s on the R&B/Hip Hop chart.

Based on what I've heard from the released singles, and the reviews from various producers - I think I am in the right place!

Is Climax removed from radios ? I didn't find it.

by **tada** » Wed May 16, 2012 3:38 pm

UK chart run for CLIMAX
4-12-21-34-58-

sign that it should have been released much earlier

by **danbarj** » Wed May 16, 2012 4:12 pm

@tada - I wouldn't say that "Climax" should've been released earlier. It was actually released at the right time.

It's an urban song and had no promotion (BAR video). I think it's done great and the only thing that could have helped it further is promotion.

But it's clear that Usher will focus the promotion schedule (for now) around "Scream" around the world and "Scream" and "Lemme See" in the US. I really hope this all creates big buzz for the album release and its first 5 weeks of sales (at the least).
