Usher On Billboard Best Of 2000s Lists
Artists Of The Decade
#2 – Usher
The Top Artists of the Decade ranking is based on artist’s chart performance on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart and Billboard 200 albums.
For much of the 2000s, Usher Raymond IV was the unstoppable force in popular music. He scored a whopping eight No. 1s on the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart (more than any other artist this decade), plus his 2004 album “Confessions” sold more than 20 million copies worldwide. And the man with the golden pipes and fancy footwork shows no signs of slowing down. “There are tons of artists I want to work with,” Usher told Billboard last year. “I’m interested in working with artists who are out of the range I’m accustomed to. I want to try new things.”
