Usher continues to score touchdowns after his seismic Super Bowl Halftime Show.
Because the superstar’s long-awaited new album ‘Coming Home’ has nabbed a championship of its own.
Full story below…
Ushered in by R&B hit ‘Good Good’ featuring Summer Walker and 21 Savage, the 20-song set serves as the R&B royal’s 9th studio effort and his first in eight years.
Released just two days before the performer took to the stage at the Big Game in Nevada, the synchronization between the LP’s landing and the performance the world was waiting for set a solid foundation in place.
Now, with the final numbers tallied, the momentum has helped ‘Coming Home’ premiere at #2 on the US’ Billboard 200.
It pulled off the feat with first-week sales of:
91,000 Units
[Of the sum, pure sales totalled 53,000, while streaming based units hit 34,500 – from 45.82 million official on-demand streams of the album’s songs.)
With the feat, the 8x GRAMMY winner scores his biggest first-week sales in over a decade. For, it almost triples the 38,000 start of his previous LP, 2016’s ‘Hard II Love.’
Furthermore, and in another major achievement, ‘Coming Home’ serves as Usher’s first independent release, arriving on his own label Mega (in partnership with Gamma).
The news comes on the heels it being announced that Usher’s Super Bowl Halftime Show (and the broadcast more broadly) now stands as the most-watched TV program… ever.

Usher for the win..
Pure sales need to weigh more in this streaming era. He should have gone number one based off that alone
FACTS
Flop! Black people rather saving money for some chicken wings???????? Ush, Bless your heart!
Better than earlier predictions. Well deserved really. I think he’s done better than a lot of recent (like the last 2-3 years) contemporary / r&b singers / rappers too ……. like Doja, CB, Offset, Diddy, MJB, MTS, Nas…..Chloe
He sold it for 3,99 on Itunes and still couldnt crack 100k…
Still a win, as he is independent. The album‘s not good though
Love a real analysis thanks sis
And how much they did Kanye West sale his for but still couldn’t crack 20k in pure sales. Name a R&B from the early 90’s that’s still selling 100k????
He’s in his 30th year and 4th decade of his career singing mostly R&B which doesn’t sale. He still sold more in pure sales than Kanye West, Chris Brown and a lot of other younger current artist.
FLOP , couldn’t even crack 100K with Super Bowl and endless promo. Chris browns LESSER!
He didn’t perform one song from Coming Home live on any televised show including the SB. Chris Brown hasn’t even been out 20 years but both of his last 2 albums sold less than 10 thousand in pure sales. Usher is in his 30th year and his album just demolished Chris in pure sales LMAO STFU
Tino you are about to get cooked like Chris Brown has Usher. They are friends but this is between me and you. Simmer while I engine up that heat.
Usher’s “Coming Home” album couldn’t even sell enough to reach gold.
Chris Brown’s 11:11 is Gold certified!
..Usher’s been out 10 years longer than Chris Brown. A WHOLE 10 YEARS and he still couldn’t sell as many as Chris Brown.
..Usher basically begged for the Super Bowl and got that publicity . But Usher still couldn’t sell more than Chris Brown.
…Usher threw cherries at everybody who came through the doors and would’ve thrown them at us at home if he could have. But Usher STILL couldn’t sell more than Chris Brown.
.. And Usher was on every show and talked to anyone who would listen advertising that album.But Usher STILL …well.. you know.
And as if there wasn’t enough reasons for usher to sell more
Chris Brown didnt get publicity from the super bowl
Chris Brown didnt get publicity from a vegas residency
Chris Brown didnt get publicity from every talk show.
AND STILL CRUSHED USHER!
Laugh your losing a— off to THAT! 😂😂😂😂 I sure am 😂😂
