BET and VH1 Networks on April 7th
Smash single 'Love In This Club' Heats Up The Charts
NEW YORK, April 2, 2008 -- LaFace/Zomba recording artist
Usher sets to release his eagerly awaited album "Here I Stand" on May 27th.
Originally scheduled for a June release the highly anticipated album has
been pushed up in order to satiate increasing global demand from all of his
fans. The video for "Love In This Club" will make its worldwide debut on
MTV April 7th and the latest smash hit sits comfortably at #2 as the weeks
greatest Airplay Gainer on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
Usher's newest single, "Love In This Club," features Young Jeezy, and
is co-written by Usher and produced by Polow Da Don. The smash hit
currently holds the #2 position on both the Hot 100 and Hot Digital Tracks
charts. The song became his eighth #1 hit and is the lead single from his
forthcoming, fifth studio album, Here I Stand. The video for "Love In This
Club" was directed by the rising directing tandem of the Brothers Strause
and will have its worldwide debut on MTV, BET and VH1 on April 7th.
Slated for global release on May 27th, Here I Stand is Usher's
follow-up to his history-making, 9x platinum-selling Confessions. Within
the first week of the release of Confessions, Usher sold more than any
other R&B artist in the history of SoundScan. The album spawned four #1 hit
singles and Usher spent 40 weeks in the No. 1 position on The Billboard Hot
100- which is more than any other male artist in the nearly 50 year history
of the chart. Worldwide, the multi-talented, five-time Grammy-winner,
musician and actor has sold nearly 14 million copies of Confessions and it
earned a multitude of honors including MTV, BET, and People's Choice
awards.
Over the span of his 14-year career, Usher has sold close to 26 million
albums worldwide and combining all of his single, album and DVD sales, he's
sold in excess of 36 million units globally. With four studio albums, the
eponymous first release, Usher (1994) and multi-platinum albums, the 6x-
platinum My Way (1997),the 4x-platinum 8701 (2001), and the 9x-platinum
Confessions (2004) and one gold-certified live album simply titled Live
(1999), and a string of #1 hit singles including "U Remind Me," "U Got It
Bad," "Yeah," "Burn," and "My Boo" Usher's return to the top of the charts
is inevitable. The Tennessee-born, Atlanta raised performer, songwriter,
producer, dancer, actor started his multi-faceted career at the age of 15-
years old.
Usher Raymond IV has achieved what few other contemporary entertainers
have ever accomplished. He most recently launched a successful line of
signature fragrances, actively heads up his own charity, New Look
Foundation, a camp for teens that teaches them about the entertainment
business, and he is part owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team.
