      But 3rd week at number 1

      Climax sounds like a the weeknd song. Periodt

      Abel shouldn’t have named dropped usher in that interview. That’s tacky. Its thirsty people who do that, and I know abel ain’t thirsty.
      Reminds me of the time that cheerleader name dropped Camila in that magazine interview
      So tacky and tasteless
      When u dont have talent, what else can u do but to name drop people who are bigger and more talented than u.
      It’s a shame

      • Gworl Bye April 12, 2020

        If Normani is so called thirsty for name dropping, then so is Abel. Sorry hon, you don’t get to contradict yourself just cause you’re a fan of thirsty abel, who still turned in pitiful sales after thirsty name dropping whether your delusional mind thinks Climax sounds like one of his songs or not. Nice try though.

      I can’t with these people here comparing current sales to 20 year old albums…you know damn well times have changed and that confessions would sell maybe a tenth of it’s old numbers if it was released today

        An oscar nomination is probably the most prestigious award in entertainment .
        Abel is an oscar nomination composer
        Usher can only dream.

        Even beyonce dont have it. She thought she was gonna get it but they denied her

        The song usher released with ludacris and lil Jon is flopping.
        A has been
        ?

      • Fancy BISH April 12, 2020

        @Clark, SCREAMING ?

      • Tino April 12, 2020

        Carckson what’s with your OBSESSIVE HATE of Usher?? Did he give you h*****?? You keep comparing him to kids he’s influenced that came out almost 20 damn years after Usher debut. Dumb ass talking about a Oscar nomination like we’re talking about actors instead of singers lol. Usher has 8 Grammys, a Latin Grammy and 20 Billboard awards.

      • Tino April 12, 2020

        Now what artists that first song got released in 1993 is still cranking out number one albums and songs left and right?? Hell you never even hear from most of them but people keep Usher name in they damn mouth SMDH.At the end of the day if Usher never have another number one album or song he’s already headed to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
