Usher: #2 On Billboard’s “Songs Of The Summer” List

Ice — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 04:09:13 +0000

Finally, Billboard came up with a way to determine the ultimate summer jam.

Every year, there is undoubtedly a summer anthem. However, there has never been an official way to determine what that anthem is. That has changed since Billboard released its newest chart; Songs of the Summer.

MTV News reports the new chart ranks the Top 10 summer jams “based on actual performance on the Billboard Hot 100, from June 12, 2010, chart date through the most-recent chart.”

On September 9, the “Songs of the Summer” chart will cease to run and Billboard will announce the number one summer anthem — this time with backup evidence.

As of now, Katy Perry is not surprisingly at the head of the chart with “California Gurls” and Usher is pulling in at #2 with “OMG.” In third place currently is B.o.B. and Hayley Williams with “Airplanes.”

The rest of the chart is as follows:

#4: Travie McCoy/Bruno Mars “Billionaire”
#5: Ke$ha “Your Love Is My Drug”
#6: Lady Gaga “Alejandro”
#7: Taio Cruz “Break Your Heart”
#8: Drake “Find Your Love”
#9: Eminem “Not Afraid”
#10: Mike Posner “Cooler Than Me”

Since the chart’s race to determine the summer anthem champion is just one month in with a couple left, the charts are expected to change with new releases and impacts from the Hot 100 list.

Billboard also released a second chart, according to MTV. This one is a “comprehensive list of the biggest summer songs of the past quarter-century, as determined by impact on the Hot 100 and “an inverse point system, with weeks at #1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least.”

Usher: Plans To Design Lingerie?

Ice — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 19:04:47 +0000

Usher is so obsessed with sexy women’s underwear; he wants to design his own lingerie line for female fans. The OMG hit-maker is fascinated by lacy undergarments and indulges his fetish by purchasing bras and corsets from top luxury brands for his girlfriends.

However, the star admits he has his own style ideas and would love to create a range of lingerie with his pal Tamara Mellon, who runs the fashion label Jimmy Choo.

He tells Britain’s Glamour magazine, “I love a woman’s curves, her shape, particularly nude. I really do enjoy that. And you should know that I’m a fan of lingerie, I mean more than most men. Kiki De Montparnasse and Agent Provocateur – I know all the names. (An ideal woman) naked under a trench coat except for some Cosabella underwear and Jimmy Choo shoes. Tamara Mellon is a friend of mine and I keep telling her we have to do something cool together, like design a lingerie line though Jimmy Choo.”

Usher certainly has the experience to launch such a venture – he designed the monogrammed boxer shorts he wore on his ladies-only tour.

The campaign promotes the benefits of low-fat milk to teenagers and families.

Usher said: “You need to look after yourself if you want to stay at number one, so my message to my British fans is eat right, exercise well and grab a glass of low-fat milk to keep you cool.”

“This loss has deeply saddened me, with a heavy heart I composed this statement. May God cover you Michael. We all lift your name up in prayer. I pray for the entire JACKSON family particularly Michael’s mother and all his fans that loved him so much.

I have great admiration and respect for him and I’m so thankful I had the opportunity to meet and perform with such a great entertainer In so many ways he transcended culture. He broke barriers, he changed radio formats! With music, he made it possible for people like Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama to impact the mainstream world.
