Since the turn of the month, Usher – who’s been fairly mum on the media front over the past few years – has been hot on the promo trail in support of his various ventures.

Just two years after seeing her seventh solo studio effort, ‘Sex & Cigarettes,’ quickly extinguished on the Billboard 200, R&B icon Toni Braxton looked to see her name printed in the tally’s upper rankings with its successor, ‘Spell My Name.’
