Yes. :D
It could go higher on downloads since he will perform on the BET awards, right ?

I love this album. As much as the second week drop is a disaster.. I route for a promo plan and a good thought single releases.
"Take A Bow"... Rihanna's ONLY ballad to go #1 on the Hot 100 (also topped the R&B Chart)... Great deed for her most epic ballad!!!

not huge drop, not bad at all. Hopefully, he will remain inside Top 10/20 for a couple more weeks. Damn, if only he did some TV shows

Too much competition right now, not to mention it's falling on digital, streaming and slowing down on radio songs.

It might be its peak, maybe go as far as number 8 or 7, but beyond that would be a miracle.

The song becoming a top ten hit alone is huge considering how it's nothing really special... I'm wondering if "Climax" got another week at number one and how much higher "Lemme See" went up by.

Don't be greedy. :lol:
Ten weeks is already outstanding. It will probably be the most successful urban song in 2012. :)

Nice position for Lemme See, but I wonder if it can go to #1. Kanye's Mercy is too strong at the moment.

"Lemme See" has been a slow climber so I'd give it some time... It has more of a chance than "Heart Attack" right now since Rozay is on a roll.

If it can crack the top by August, no need to worry about Trey.

Haha, yeah it is a big accomplishment. It's his longest running song at number one on the chart next to "You Make Me Wanna..." at 11 weeks.

^ They were messing around with Usher. At first it said 127k, then 227k, but at the same night (after you posted) it was already reduced to 197k.

Basically, on the Mediatraffic website, when they first released the chart for last week (i.e. Friday), the figure for Usher's album was 127k. Obviously that couldn't have been the case, as that's just his sales from the US.

They then altered it to 227k. This is what arab saw and posted in here.

Later, however. (but not too long after as I myself saw this figure on the same day) they changed it again to 197k. Apparently they felt the 227k was too large or their calculations were wrong.
