Stomping across the Allegiant Stadium field in Las Vegas as part of a halftime show that toasted over 25 years of hits, the 8x GRAMMY winner not only found himself riding atop social media trending topics for the show itself and the announcement that he is gearing up for a wedding to his longtime girlfriend, but also for leading U.S. digital music sales with titles he performed at the spectacle.
Real-Time iTunes Sales
*as of time reported*
Peruse of the real-time iTunes sales tally (seen in part above) reveals 8 of the top 30best-selling songs of the moment in America are owned by the 45-year-old including ‘Yeah’ leading the fray and being followed ‘U Got It Bad,’ ‘Burn,’ ‘My Boo,’ and more.
On the platform’s real-time album sales chart, his latest album – ‘Coming Home‘ – sits at #1 while ‘Confessions‘ has crept to #6.
When coupled with the uptick in commercial activity on other platforms (i.e. streaming), the sales signal a likelihood he may see some prized entries from his discography re-enter the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 respectively next week.

Congrats Usher….You did welll…
Better than last year lineup
He delivered 🔥
He sweats a lot….ahahahahah
Singing and dancing live. But paced himself and did a really good job!
And the real question is …….
where is Meg…. 😆
Get a life sweetie.
Better than Justin.
Surprisingly good….after Madonna!!
Justin remains the worst halftime performer of all time…..
Least favorite:
Katy Perry
Gaga
Justin Timberlake
Rihanna is the worst!!
Good choice…next maybe Nicki ???
Boring
Usher is the king of his era for sure BUT NOBODY sees CHRIS AS A PERFORMER…
NOBODYYY‼️‼️‼️‼️
Chris Brown would be the worst lineup ever like Justin.
Good for him. He came prepared. Bravoooooo!!!!!!
He nailed it. Bravo!
Usher 45 years old and is 30 years into his career but is dancing and singing live better than male artist 10 years younger who he influenced. PURE LEGEND and ICON
What male artist 10 years younger than him ? I want names
He’s definitely outsings Chris Brown who either lip syncs or performs with an autotuned mic. 😘
Great selection for sure, way better than last few years….
Best half time since Madonna & Beyonce!
Usher inspiring a new generation of jam skaters! #rollerdisco2024
Better than Riri.. 13 minutes of zzz
But didn’t yall just say that Beyonce was #1 on itunes??
