Usher‘s latest hit, ‘Good Good,’ shows no sign of slowing on delivering good news.
Released August 4, the Mel & Mus-produced track serves as the first single from the R&B veteran’s forthcoming ninth studio album ‘Coming Home‘ and comes as his biggest hit in years.
Having previously made headlines for being his first top 40 hit as a song leader since 2016’s Young Thug-assisted ‘No Limit,’ ‘Good’ is proving there may be no limit to its rate of ascension on the Hot 100 as it entered the next rung in the chart’s ranking this week.
Details inside.
‘Good’ is listed at #1 on the week’s R&B single sales tally for the second week, a positioning that helped it crack the top 30 of the refreshed Hot 100.
Printed at #28 on the latter column, here are the numbers that powered the placement.
- Streaming ≈ 5.5 million U.S.-based streams
- Digital Downloads ≈ 2,000 sold
- Radio Airplay ≈ 38.5 million audience impressions
With the potent combo above, the Summer Walker and 21 Savage-assisted track marks the highest peak Ush has captured as a song leader since 2014’s Juicy J-enlisted ‘I Don’t Mind‘ peaked at #11.
While the win comes as overdue uncharted territory for the GRAMMY winner, the same can’t be said for Walker and Savage.
Walker enjoyed a #13-peaking hit in 2022 with the Cardi B and SZA-assisted ‘No Love‘ as well as ‘Purple Hearts‘ with Kendrick Lamar (#22 peak), Savage has had multiple top 30 hits over the last year including ‘Topia Twins‘ with Travis Scott (#17 peak), ‘Turks & Caicos‘ with Rod Wave (#24 peak), and the Drake duets ‘Broke Boys‘ (#12 peak), ‘P-ssy & Millions‘ (#6 peak), ‘Rich Flex‘ (#2 peak), ‘Jimmy Cooks‘ (#1 peak), and many others.
‘Good’ will hopefully be one of many fan favorites on the setlist for the 2024 Super Bowl Halftime Show as Ush has been pegged to be its headliner.
