Usher has taken over the UK singles charts. Not only debuting at no.4 on the mainstream UK Singles Chart, the "Looking For Myself" singer has debuted at no.1 on the UK R&B Singles tally.

Unseating Nicki Minaj, who had topped the Urban/R&B chart with "Starships," Usher's "Climax" rocketed straight to no.1 Sunday.

Taken from his forthcoming album, "Looking For Myself," "Climax" is also doing well on the U.S. Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart where it sits at no.2.

In related news, John Legend's "Ordinary People" has re-entered the UK Urban/R&B chart at no.10 this week. Both Kanye West (Mercy, no.23) and Maxwell (This Woman's Work, no. 25) also debut strong on the same chart.

I can't wait for him to perform or promote this song live

Wow for a debut? this is huge even for an R&B song

Nice.

This is what I hate about international "urban" charts.

Yep, Starship is a pop track, but because she is Black, it is grouped under Urban chart

So true

Starships

Yes Best song of the year.

This is great for Usher
Looking forward to hear the album

The song deserves every bit of success it gets.

Pure sex.

King

This song isn't sexual at all.

Anyway, congrats to him. Great song

Amazing

Right? Starships is as urban as Part of Me.

Usher.

We don't even have a proper RnB chart anyway - no one gives a **** about it. They just stick all the black artists there. It's insulting.

#4 is great though considering the direction he has gone in.

Usher!

& they need to do better on classifying songs.

The song isn't sex...Usher is sex

The UK FINALLY has a REAL R&B song crown their "R&B" chart

@ Starships, Good Feeling, We found love topping the chart

The hell?
