Rewind: Usher (Singles Discography)

While being often disrespected with comparisons to boys who couldn’t fill his shoes on their best day and his contribution to the musical landscape being severely and constantly undervalued, Usher still remains a titan whose marvelous twenty-nine year career is and should be a model for every male artist that comes after him especially if they are an R&B act. Don’t believe me just watch any clip you can find from his current Vegas residency shows and behold the magic that is Usher.
