Usher may have used the Super Bowl Halftime Show to remind of his musical legacy, but he seized the lead-up to the Big Game to drum up buzz for his new album ‘Coming Home.’
Led by R&B hit ‘Good Good’ featuring Summer Walker and 21 Savage, the stacked set serves as the icon’s 9th studio effort and his first in eight years.
With the perfect synchronization between the LP’s arrival and the Halftime Show, attention now turns to its commercial performance.
Well, wonder no more because the first-week predictions are here.
Full story below…
Usher’s ‘Coming Home’
Predicted First-Week Sales (SPS): 78,000 units
Predicted Billboard 200 Debut: #3
According to Hits Daily Double, ‘Home’ will push total sales of up to 78,000 units by the end of its inaugural sales tracking week.
Should the prediction prove true, the 8x GRAMMY winner will boast his biggest first-week sales in over a decade.
It’s of note that ‘Coming Home’ serves as Usher’s first independent release, arriving on his own label Mega (in partnership with Gamma).
Should the numbers hold, it’ll see the superstar more than double the 38,000 launch of his previous LP, 2016’s ‘Hard II Love.’
Stay tapped in to That Grape Juice for the latest on this story as the official report of Usher’s final opening figure is set to be unveiled on Sunday (February 18).

He’s gonna pocket all moneys
That’s it? An entire Superbowl performance and nobody really had interest in this album? Over 123 million viewers and 78k? Sheesh
He didn’t perform any of the songs from the album
Performed zero songs from Coming Home and not even a commercial.
since hes independent, this is great #s. but i feel like he deserves better. kaybe actually go out there & perform songs from the album.
Good for him. He delivered especially during halftime.
LET ME EXPLAIN THIS BS
Usher is 30 years into his career so sales aren’t gonna be high anyway. Then Toby Keith death caused his albums catalogue to boom for Usher to compete with.
Then Kanye West ego and feelings got hurt from Kim Kardashian working with and going to Usher residency multiple times so he decided to drop his album with Ty $ign on the same day so Usher had to compete with 2 different fanbases buying one album.
His team dropped the ball by not having any Coming Home songs performed during the halftime show or even a commercial for the album.
All that but the album still been number one on Itunes and Amazon music since it’s release.
This is Gaga’s sales… hahahahaaaa
Not a great comeback…lukewarm is it?
Lol the comeback is complete, he’s been trending and talked about for over a year. Nobody who debut was early 90’s is gonna sales millions these days. Stop the BS
78k is Meg’s achievement…. c’mon papa your are floppin’
90% of artist are flopping then. Let me get off this delusional site of DUMB people acting like a early 90’s artist is suppose to sell millions lol smh
Well in his case I’d figured 102,000, then dip off? And he needed to add yah remix to the album to get it to that point. Now I’m curious how justin Timberlake is gonna do
Ahmazing! Camila Cabello level….:lol:
I feel like this album was thrown together for the Super Bowl and tour. Hardly any promo for it and for good reason – it’s not of great quality. His tour still sold out. The public wants his old hits.
Not really a polished album..sounds like a rushed project. 78k is ..acceptable.:(
Anything involved Alicia Keys sure below 100k. Ha..sad!
Nicki did 250k and this clown couldn’t crack 80k l kiiii Lmaooooo
FLOP
Nicki’s cheap, ghetto, low production tour has yet to sell out. Ushers did and he hasn’t even announced international dates yet. His eight night residency is Paris sold out last year sooo STFU ashy!
STOP LYING!!!!!!! WHERE TF YALL GET 250k from?!!?
Pink Friday 2 earned 228,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, of which 92,000 came from pure album sales, becoming the largest week in overall units as well as in pure sales for a female rap album in the 2020s and a female R&B/hip-hop album in 2023.

Usher has 8 Grammys and a diamond album. Nicki can’t relate.
Hahhahahaahhaahha Chris Browns LESSER
Congrats usher! The second half of the album is growing on me!
Side note: damn, I didn’t realize he flopped THAT badly with the last album 🥴🥴 The cover was partly responsible
FLOP! even with Superbowl boost!!!! Loser! JT will never! AT least he hits # 1 with the Superbowl.
JT will never have a 14x diamond album you’re right🫠
