The way Usher bodied the charts in 2004 was just>>>>>>> 2004 was one of the years when ONE artist dominated EVERYTHING that had to do with music - from singles, to album sales and awards and that was Usher. Loved this Fantasia song and I knew she was going to be a star after her performance of 'Summertime' on Idol. In addition this was truly a banner year for Urban music because nearly ALL the artists that topped the BB Hot 100 that year accounted for were Black. I'd say that 2004 was the year Urban music became 'American Music'.
