(Sex) King of R&B, Usher Raymond was born on the night of October 14, 1978 in Dallas, TX. Ever since then, he has taken the world by storm. From being involved with quintets, Star Searches, Soundtracks, and P.Diddy he faced many setbacks and failures. However, King eventually came out with the 1997, late 90's R&B defining album, "My Way" and sold over 6 million copies. The album proved to also be a success with singles, spawning 3 Top 2 hits in U.S., and some Worldwide charting. The fame did not stop there, however. 2000's welcomed even huger success to King of R&B, as he came with the album "8701" which followed similarly to his previous success, then the Earth-shattering album, "Confessions". "Confessions" spawned 4 U.S. #1's, 10 million in sales U.S., 20 million WW, Grammy's, Acclaim, Records, and Diamond certifications. It broke many records, including the All-Time Audience Impression record (at the time), Most Weeks #1 in a Year, Highest Opening Week by an R&B Artist and came close to breaking many -- which include 2nd Most #1's for an Artist in a Year, 2nd Most #1's on an Album, and holds a legacy til this day. It is the 2nd best-selling album of the 2000's, also attaining the 12 week #1, "Yeah!" which became the 2nd biggest-song of the 2000's, and the Best-Selling Male R&B Album (all-time!). While nobody has come close to snatching effortlessly that era, including Usher, he has still managed to get countless more #1's and records while branching onto a career outside of being an artist. He's done popular roles in television / movies, started his own recording label, and is currently a judge on the popular television series "The Voice". The 2010's welcome similar success with hits that welcomed him to mainstream success through a new genre, such as "OMG", "DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love", and "Scream" while producing more R&B classics such as "There Goes My Baby", "Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)", and "Climax". Usher's music career has solidified him as a Legend, and the accompanying feats from outside of it.

Not sure yet, but I'd like a duet & not a feature.
I wouldn't mind if he kept it lite, like 8701.

Duet?
A duet with Bey will always be at the top of the list. I could see Usher and Janet collaborating in another light.
