"Yeah!" was still bigger and more global than any Chris song - urban or pop - and it was an urban song.  Chris never had a Diamond or 8x Platinum album. This is just a losing game. |
But again, I'm talking about musical style not how "popular" the song was. When I say "pop" I'm talking about the genre, not popularity.
Again, album sales aren't anywhere near like they were in the 90's/early 2000's so bringing up Diamond albums is irrelevant when there are NO diamond albums anymore aside from Adele
It took Usher over 10 years to get a song that big and mainstream. Like I said, Chris was well on his way already by his SECOND effort. Had it not been for him mollywhopping Rihanna I'm sure he would have booked one way before now.
wow
