R&B crooner has struck gold again. Usher has just scored his ninth No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 with “OMG,” his latest single from the album “Raymond v. Raymond.” The track, which features vocals by will.i.am, lifts from No. 6 to No. 1 in its fifth week on the chart.
Usher first reached No. 1 in 1998 with the single “Nice & Slow.” No other artist has outpaced his production of No. 1s in that time period. Mariah Carey and Rihanna have the second-most chart-toppers in that span with six each.
Usher last held the No. 1 spot for three weeks in March 2008 with “Love in This Club,” featuring Young Jeezy.
